Frequently asked questions
How many tiles do I need?
Divide the area by the area of one tile, then add ~10% for cuts and waste. This tool includes that allowance.
How much extra should I buy?
10% is typical; 15–20% for diagonal layouts or patterned tiles. Keeping spares also helps for future repairs.
