Frequently Asked Questions
How much waste should I add?
A 10% allowance is common for straight layouts, and 15% or more for diagonal patterns or rooms with many cuts.
What units does it use?
Room size is in meters and tile size is in centimeters, a common combination. The result is a whole number of tiles, rounded up.
Can I use the result as an exact answer?
Treat it as an estimate or check unless the page and the rules that apply to you confirm otherwise. Rounding, fees and personal details can change the final result.
