How many tiles do I need for a room?›
Divide the room area by the area of one tile, then add a waste allowance for cuts. For a 4.2 × 3.6 m room (15.12 m²) with 60 × 60 cm tiles (0.36 m²) that is 42 tiles, or 47 tiles with a 10% waste allowance.
How much waste should I add for tiles?›
Add 10% for a straight or brick-bond layout, 15% for diagonal, and 20% for herringbone or rooms with many alcoves and angles. Keeping spare tiles from the same batch also protects you against future repairs.
How much tile adhesive do I need per square metre?›
Most cement-based adhesives cover about 4 m² per 20 kg bag at a 6 mm notched-trowel bed. Large-format tiles or uneven floors need a thicker bed, so coverage can drop to 2.5–3 m² per bag.
How is grout quantity calculated?›
Grout in kg per m² = ((tile length + tile width) ÷ (tile length × tile width)) × joint width × tile thickness × 1.8, with all tile dimensions in millimetres. Wider joints and thicker tiles both increase grout use.
How many tiles come in a box?›
It depends on tile size: 60 × 60 cm tiles usually come 4 per box (1.44 m²), 30 × 60 cm tiles 6–8 per box, and small 20 × 20 cm tiles up to 25 per box. Check the label and enter it in the box section for an exact box count.
Does the calculator work for wall tiles too?›
Yes. Switch the mode to Wall or Floor + Wall, enter wall height and width, and subtract door and window openings so you only pay for the area you actually tile.
