Guides

Measure a surface for tiling

Break irregular surfaces into simple shapes before adding them together.

Choose a tile waste allowance

Waste depends on cuts, layout and breakage rather than one universal percentage.

Plan by boxes, not only individual tiles

Retail packaging can make box coverage more useful than tile count.

Build a tile material budget

Tile price is only part of the material bill.

Check a tile layout before ordering

A dry layout can reveal awkward cuts that an area calculation cannot.
