Common questions

How do I calculate how many tiles I need?

Divide the area by the area of one tile, add a waste allowance, and round up. The tile calculator also shows tiles per row and rows.

Is a backsplash different from a floor?

The math is the same, but backsplashes have more cuts per square foot, so the backsplash calculator starts with a higher allowance.

Why does grout use my product chart?

Grout coverage changes a lot with tile size, thickness, and joint width. A manufacturer chart for your exact tile is more reliable than any generic formula.
