Why this plan wastes 2.2 %

The offcut left at the end of each row starts the next row, as long as the joints stay far enough apart. Almost every cut piece is used, so the 2.2 % is mostly the strip ripped off the last row and the very last offcut.

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.
