How to use it
- Type the floor
Its length and width, in feet or metres.
- Set the tile
The tile’s size, the joint between tiles and the pattern you lay them in.
- Set the box and bag
How many tiles one box holds and the size of your adhesive bag, from their labels.
Tips
- Pattern extra
Straight and brick patterns need about 10% extra for cuts; diagonal and herringbone about 15%.
- One batch
Buy all the boxes at once and check they share the same shade or batch code, so the color matches.
- Keep spares
Keep a few spare tiles for repairs. The same tile may not be sold in a few years.
