If you’re wondering “how to measure how much tile I need,” first gather all your materials. You require the same materials regardless of your tiling project. You will need:
Once you have these supplies, use our easy-to-follow tile calculator below. With this calculator, you multiply the length x width of your space to calculate its square footage. If you measure in inches, divide every measurement by 12 to convert to feet before calculating the space’s total square footage.
You can use numerous tile calculators. Follow the below steps for the most simplified version of this calculator:
Purchasing extra tile also comes in handy if you lay it down at a 45-degree angle. When tiling multiple complicated areas, divide them into smaller squares to make it easier. You can then add all their square footage together to answer, “How many tiles do I need?”
Furthermore, it is vital to account for the smaller, oddly shaped areas and the three walls when tiling a shower. The steps for calculations are the same. You can also divide areas (rectangles or squares) for the process.
Some size recommendations for bathroom tile installations include:
On average, a box of tiles contains 10 square ft.
You can determine how many boxes you require with our “How Much Tile Do I Need” calculator.
Total square footage / square ft. per box = Number of boxes needed (round up, ex. 17.5 = 18)
No. Square footage is the main factor for how to determine how much tile you need. For a fancy pattern, shape, or style, you should use 15% instead of 10% to account for extra tile.
First, split your area into sections of squares and rectangles. You will then convert from inches to feet and multiply length by the width of the wall. Finally, add up all sq. footage of each section to get the total sq. footage.
Length (ft) x width (ft) = (total sq. ft x 10% / sq. ft per box) = total # boxes of tiles
