Tile Calculator questions
How much tile waste should I add?
Ten percent works for simple layouts. Use 15 to 20 percent for diagonals, patterns, niches, or rooms with many cuts.
Does this include thinset and grout?
Yes, it gives a rough starter list. Always check the product bag for exact coverage.
Is tile a good first DIY project?
Small dry floors are more beginner-friendly than showers. Waterproofing mistakes can become expensive.
