Why this plan wastes 4.8 %
In a grid every joint lines up, so only the pieces along two walls are cut: the last column and the last row. Each of those cuts leaves an offcut too short or too narrow for the opposite wall, and that is where the 4.8 % goes; a room whose sides are close to a whole number of pieces wastes almost nothing.
The same room in another pattern
The planner opens with this room already laid. Change the size, the pattern or the material and every figure is counted again.
