🏠 Tile Calculator

Calculate the number of tiles, boxes needed, and total cost for floors and walls. Enter room dimensions or total area, tile size, grout joint, and waste percentage.

'Why add a waste percentage for tiles?', 'answer' => 'Tiles need to be cut around doorways, corners, outlets, and fixtures. Some tiles break during installation. For a simple square room: 10% waste. For diagonal layout: 15%. For complex rooms or herringbone pattern: 15–20%. Always purchase a few extra boxes.'], ['question' => 'Should I buy by the tile or by the box?', 'answer' => 'Most tile stores sell by the box and may not sell individual tiles. Always buy full boxes — it is better to have a few extra tiles for future repairs than to run short. Keep leftover tiles in case a tile cracks or needs replacing years later.'], ]" />
