Why this plan wastes 12.5 %

Each row starts a third of a piece further along, so the row ends are cut on both walls. An offcut only goes back into the floor when it is long enough to start a later row, so the short leftovers add up: 12.5 % in this room, from 25 cut pieces.

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.
