This tool will help you calculate the number of tiles you need to cover a floor.
How to Use the Tile Floor Calculator
To use this calculator, simply input the dimensions of your room and your tiles.
– Length of the room: The length in feet.
– Width of the room: The width in feet.
– Length of a tile: The length of a single tile in inches.
– Width of a tile: The width of a single tile in inches.
– Wastage percentage: This is the percentage of tiles you want to account for wastage due to cuts and breakage.
After filling out these fields, click the “Calculate” button to get the number of tiles you need to purchase.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator converts the room dimensions from feet to inches, then calculates the area of the room. It similarly calculates the area of a single tile. It then divides the room area by the tile area to determine the number of tiles needed. Finally, it adds the percentage of wastage to the calculated number of tiles to give you a final result.
Limitations
– The calculator assumes that the room is perfectly rectangular.
– It does not take into account any irregularities or non-rectangular cuts.
– The unit of measurement for the room is feet, and for tiles, it is inches. Be consistent with these units.
