How to Use the Tile Calculator?
Using our tile calculator is simple and effective. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Select Your Measurement Unit: Choose between metric (meters) or imperial (feet) units to fit your needs.
- Input Room Dimensions: Measure the length and width of the area you want to tile and enter these values.
- Enter Tile Dimensions: Input the length and width of a single tile. Alternatively, if you know the tile’s square footage, you can enter that directly.
- Choose Tile Layout and Gap Size: Specify any grout gap size or select “no gap” if tiles will be laid without spacing.
- Calculate: Click the “Calculate Tiles Needed” button to see how many tiles are required.
How to Calculate How Many Tiles You Need?
To calculate how many tiles you need, follow these simple formulas:
- Measure the Area to be Tiled:
- Determine the length and width of the area in feet or meters.
- Calculate the total area using the formula:
Total Area (Square Feet) = Length × Width
- Determine the Area Covered by a Single Tile:
- Measure the length and width of a single tile.
- Calculate its area using the formula:
Tile Area (Square Feet) = Tile Length × Tile Width
- Calculate the Number of Tiles Needed:
- Divide the total area to be tiled by the area of one tile:
Number of Tiles Needed = Total Area / Tile Area
- Add a Waste Allowance:
- Add an extra 10-15% to account for potential breakage or cuts:
Total Tiles Needed = Number of Tiles Needed × (1+Waste Percentage)
