What is the unit of measurement (UOM) for resilient flooring?

The correct unit of measurement for resilient flooring is the square foot. This unit is commonly used in the flooring industry because it directly relates to the area covered by the flooring material. Resilient flooring, such as vinyl or linoleum, is typically installed in sheets or tiles that are measured by the square footage they cover, making this unit ideal for calculating the amount of material needed for a specific area.

The other options, while valid units of measurement in construction, do not apply to resilient flooring in the same way. Square yard is often used for larger areas and can sometimes apply to flooring, but square foot is more precise for calculations involving smaller, individual spaces. Lineal foot is a measurement for length and is not suitable for area coverage. Board measure, which typically relates to lumber volume, does not pertain to flooring materials at all. Thus, square foot is the most appropriate and conventional measurement for resilient flooring.
