HOW MANY TILES DO YOU NEED?

Measuring up

First measure the area of floor to be tiled, the width x by length to calculate the area in square metres, subtract from this the floor area of any fixed cupboards, toilets, baths etc. Finally add at least ten percent for breakage and tile cuts. (on a smaller room twenty percent would be better).

For Adhesive: 10 litres covers approximately 7 sq. metres of tiles. (This may vary depending on the key profile on the back of the tile)

For Grout: 2.00 kg covers approximately 8 sq. metres of tiles. (Based on using a 450x450mm tile fixed with a 2mm joint).

Once you have worked out the square metres, the table below shows the number of tiles and boxes you need to order.
