How it works

tiles = area × (1 + waste) ÷ tile area

Divide the area to cover by the area of one tile, then add extra for cuts at the edges and breakage: about 10% for straight layouts and 15% or more for diagonal or herringbone. The count is rounded up, and so is the number of boxes. Grout lines are ignored, which leaves a little extra.

  1. Area to cover 3.6576 × 3.048 = 11.15 m²
  2. Area of one tile 0.3048 × 0.3048 = 0.0929 m²
  3. Divide, add the waste, round up 11.15 × (1 + 10 ÷ 100) ÷ 0.0929 = 132 → 132
