How many tiles do I need? A simple m² guide
Measure once, order with the right wastage allowance, and avoid mid-project shortages.
Measuring for tiles is straightforward once you know the formula.
1. Measure the length and width of each room in metres.
2. Multiply length × width to get square metres.
3. Add 10% for cuts and breakages (15% for diagonal or herringbone layouts).
4. Round up to full boxes based on the tile's coverage per box.
