  1. Calculate the total number of tiles needed.
  2. Determine the number of tile boxes to purchase.
  3. Estimate the quantity of cement bags required for tile installation.
  4. Calculate the amount of sand needed for leveling and bedding.

Understanding the Results

  1. Total Number of Tiles

    2. The calculator considers the room dimensions, tile size, and grout gap to determine the exact number of tiles needed. A standard 5-10% buffer is included to account for cutting, wastage, and breakage during installation.

  2. Number of Tile Boxes

    3. Tiles are sold in boxes, with each box containing a specific number of tiles. The calculator rounds up the required tiles to the nearest box, ensuring you purchase enough for the project.

  3. Cement Bags

    4. Cement is essential for fixing tiles securely. The calculator estimates the number of bags needed based on the area to be tiled and the thickness of the adhesive layer.

  4. Sand Quantity

    5. Sand is often used for leveling floors before tile installation. The calculator provides an estimate based on the floor area and desired leveling thickness.
