Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a waste allowance for tiles?

Because edge cuts, breakage, pattern alignment, and future spare pieces all increase the quantity beyond the pure floor area calculation.

Does this work for wall tiles too?

Yes. The tile-count math is the same as long as you enter the total surface dimensions you plan to cover.
