Calculate the number of tiles needed for your flooring or wall project.
Material estimates are approximate. Actual quantities may vary due to waste, site conditions, design changes, material dimensions, labor methods and local pricing. Always verify with a qualified contractor or supplier before purchasing materials.
Tiles = (Area Length × Area Width) / (Tile Length × Tile Width in feet). Add 10-15% waste.
Result: Area: 120 sq ft, Tiles: 120, With waste: 132
Buy 10-15% extra to account for cuts, breakage, and future repairs.
Large tiles (12×24) can make small spaces look bigger. Small tiles (1×1 mosaics) work for showers.
For a cohesive look, you can use different sizes of the same tile type. Floor tiles are typically 12×24 or 18×18 inches, while wall tiles are often 4×4, 6×6, or subway tile. Ensure floor tiles have adequate slip resistance.
Diagonal installations require more tile due to increased cutting waste. Add 15-20% waste instead of the standard 10%. Purchase extra tiles to account for the angled cuts along walls and corners.
