Tile Calculator

Standard straight lay: 10% waste. Diagonal pattern: 15%. Herringbone: 20%. Complex patterns or small rooms need more waste allowance.

Depends on tile size. 12x12 inch tiles = 1 per sqft. 6x6 = 4 per sqft. 24x24 = 0.25 per sqft. 12x24 = 0.5 per sqft.

Grout coverage depends on tile size, joint width, and tile thickness. As a rough guide, a 25-lb bag of grout covers 50-200 sqft depending on these factors.
