Tips for a Successful Tile Project
- Always buy extra tiles - We recommend a 10-15% wastage allowance for straight layouts and 15-20% for diagonal layouts or complex patterns.
- Consider pattern layout - Herringbone, chevron, and other patterns require more tiles due to additional cutting.
- Check for obstacles - Don't forget to account for doorways, windows, cabinets, fixtures, and other obstacles that won't need tile.
- Save extra tiles - Keep leftover tiles for potential future repairs or replacements.
- Consider grout color - Different grout colors can dramatically change the appearance of your finished project.
For complex layouts or irregularly shaped rooms, consider breaking the area into simple rectangular sections and calculating each separately.
