Tile Quantity Planning
Estimate tile count using area, tile dimensions and waste while allowing for layout decisions.
Measure tiled surfaces
Do not assume the whole room is tiled.
Convert tile dimensions
Calculate each tile area in the same units as the project area.
Plan pattern waste
Diagonal, herringbone and complex patterns often need more overage.
Check lot consistency
Color and calibration can vary between production lots.
Buy by box
Round to complete boxes and keep spare tile for future repairs.
