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.
