Enter the room and tile size. The layout sets the waste, so a herringbone floor doesn't get quoted like a straight grid.

How it works

Area ÷ the area of one tile, plus 10% for grid or brick, 15% for diagonal and 20% for herringbone. Boxes round up.

Before you order

  • Dry lay a row to avoid a sliver of tile along the most visible wall.
  • Keep spare tile from the same lot for future repairs.
  • Mix tiles between boxes so shade differences spread out.

Common questions

How much extra tile should I order?

About 10% for simple layouts, more for diagonal and herringbone. Very large tile can need more because one bad cut costs a whole piece.

Do grout joints change the count?

Slightly, but not enough to matter on most floors. The nominal size is close enough to plan with.
