FAQs

How much extra tile should I buy for waste?
It is standard industry practice to order 10% extra tile for a standard room to account for cutting, mistakes, and future repairs. If you are laying the tile in a diagonal pattern or have a room with many angles, increase this to 15%.
How to measure a room for floor tiles?
Measure the maximum length and maximum width of the room in feet. Multiply them to get the square footage. If the room is not a perfect rectangle, divide it into smaller rectangular sections, calculate the area of each, and add them together.
