Tile Estimation Guide
Proper tile estimation saves money and prevents frustrating mid-project supply runs. This calculator accounts for grout gap width and includes a waste factor for cuts, breakage, and pattern matching. Most professionals recommend 10-15% extra for basic layouts and 15-20% for diagonal or complex patterns.
Tile Installation Tips
- Measure Twice: Always double-check your room measurements before ordering.
- Gap Width: Standard grout gaps are 1/16" to 1/4" depending on tile type.
- Waste Factor: Account for cuts along walls, around fixtures, and any breakage.
- Buy from One Lot: Tiles from different production lots may have slight color variations.
- Keep Extras: Save leftover tiles for future repairs.
