Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure irregular shaped rooms?
For irregular spaces, divide the area into rectangles, calculate each separately, then sum the totals. Our calculator will help with each section.
What’s the standard wastage percentage?
We recommend 10% wastage for simple layouts, 15% for diagonal patterns, and 20% for complex designs with many cuts.
How do I calculate tile boxes needed?
Check how many tiles come in each box, then divide your total tile count by this number and round up.
Does this work for wall tiles?
Yes! Our calculator works for both floor and wall tiles. Just measure your wall area instead of floor space.
