Frequently Asked Questions

Why add extra tiles?

Adding 10-15% extra tiles accounts for cuts, breakage during installation, and future repairs. For diagonal or complex patterns, consider adding 15-20%.

How do I measure irregular areas?

Break down irregular spaces into rectangular sections, measure each separately, and use the “Add Another Area” button to include all sections in your calculation.

What if my room isn’t perfectly rectangular?

For L-shaped or irregular rooms, divide the space into rectangular sections and add each section separately using the “Add Another Area” feature.

How does layout type affect tile quantity?

Diagonal and herringbone patterns typically require more cuts and waste (15-20% extra) compared to standard grid layouts (10% extra).
