How it works

Tile count = surface area ÷ area of one tile, increased by the waste percentage and rounded up to a whole tile.

Three practical tips

  • Complex or diagonal layouts need a larger waste allowance.
  • Buy one batch where possible to avoid shade variation.
  • Check the number of tiles per box before ordering.

How much tile waste should I allow?

Ten percent is a common starting point for simple layouts; complex cuts, patterns or fragile material can need more.
