Planning estimate: this calculation helps you estimate material quantities. Actual requirements vary with site conditions, product coverage, installation method and waste. Confirm with the manufacturer or a qualified professional when appropriate.

What to know about this material

  • Tiles are sold by the box — order whole boxes and keep the offcuts.
  • Order all boxes in the same shade batch; production runs vary slightly.
  • Keep 2–3 spare tiles after the job for future breakages.

Frequently asked

How much extra tile should I order?
10% for a standard straight layout, 15% for diagonal or herringbone, plus a few spares for repairs.
Do grout lines change the count?
Slightly. A 3 mm joint on a 300 mm tile adds about 1% to the effective tile size, which this calculator includes.
How much adhesive do I need?
Roughly 4 kg per m² for a standard notched trowel; large-format tiles can need 5–6 kg per m².
