This tool will accurately calculate the number of tiles you need to cover your wall.
How to Use the Wall Tiling Calculator
To calculate the number of tiles required to cover a wall, follow these simple steps:
- Enter the width of the wall in meters.
- Enter the height of the wall in meters.
- Enter the width of a single tile in centimeters.
- Enter the height of a single tile in centimeters.
- Enter the spacing between tiles in millimeters.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
- The result will display the total number of tiles required.
How the Calculator Works
This calculator determines the number of tiles you need by performing the following calculations:
- Convert wall dimensions from meters to centimeters for consistency.
- Convert tile spacing from millimeters to centimeters.
- Calculate the effective width and height of a single tile, which includes the tile spacing.
- Divide the wall area by the effective tile area to determine the number of tiles needed.
Limitations
The calculator provides an estimate and assumes the wall area is perfectly rectangular and does not account for:
- Cutting tiles for edges, corners, or obstacles (e.g., windows, doors).
- Pattern layouts that may require additional tiles.
Use Cases for This Calculator
