How it is calculated
Room area ÷ area of one tile, plus extra for cuts and breakage. Use 10% for simple rooms and 15% for many cuts or a diagonal layout.
Example
A 12 × 10 ft room with 12 × 12 in tiles needs 132 tiles with 10% extra. With 15 sq ft per box, buy 9 boxes. Baseboard: about 41 ft.
These are estimates to plan your purchase. Check measurements on site and follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local building codes.
