The concept is confusing but the math is pretty simple...
- Tiles are sold by the square foot not by the tile..
- Measure the room & round up to the next foot, ie.. 11' 6" just write it down as 12'
- If the room has offsets or halls, just remember to treat it like another room & do the length X width of each area. Then add them all up.
- Box will tell you how many sq feet is in a box, so you are paying by the foot, but buying by the box........
- Each 16X16 tile is 1.778 sq feet
- 16X16 tile will likely be packaged in a box with 9-11 pieces per box..
- Usually about 14- 18 sq feet per box depending on the makers preferences...
- By way of example if your room is 12X12 that's 144 sq feet,
- Divide the sq feet by how many sq feet in the box & you know how many boxes..
- Add about 7-10% to make sure you have enough....
The formula is 324 divided by 1.78= # of tiles
Soooo once you know the sq feet you need, add a little for waste & breakage & ooops cuts & you will have enough..
The fact that a good tile setter starts in the middle of the room & works out also means you may have a fair bit of cutting one all the walls but a centered look is much better and likely allows you to use the pieces up.
