Tiles are expensive, and miscalculation hurts.
I once paid extra because I ordered fewer tiles.
Tile Calculation Basics
Floor area
Tile size
Wastage percentage
Example Calculation
Room size = 12 × 10 = 120 sqft
Tile size = 2 × 2 feet
Tiles needed = 30
Add 10 percent extra = 33 tiles
Tile Bed Material Calculation
Thickness = 2 inches
Ratio = 1:4:8
Calculated same as concrete bed.
Mistakes to Avoid
Not adding extra tiles
Ignoring cuts
Not matching tile batches
Real Advice
Always buy tiles from same batch.
