This tool helps you figure out the amount of tiles you need for your project based on the area you specify.
How to Use the Tile Calculator:
1. Enter the length and width of your room in meters.
2. Enter the length and width of the tile in centimeters.
3. Enter the percentage of wastage you anticipate (usually around 10%).
4. Click “Calculate” to get the total number of tiles needed.
How It Calculates the Results:
The calculator converts the tile dimensions from centimeters to meters and then calculates the area of the room and the area of a single tile. It divides the room area by the tile area to determine the number of tiles needed. The calculator then adjusts for wastage and rounds up to the nearest whole number.
Limitations:
1. The calculator assumes that all tiles are the same size and shape.
2. It does not account for any irregularities in the room shape or layout.
3. It assumes a uniform wastage percentage across the entire tiling project.
