How to calculate how many tiles you need to for your wall
Measuring what you need for a wall can be a headache for most, but following our small and easy steps, you will find it so easy. All you need is a measuring tape, pencil and paper and if you’re not numbers smart like us then you may need a calculator too. Step 1: Draw each wall on a piece of paper. Step 2: Measure the width in millimetres of your wall and divide this by the width of your tile you have chosen. This will tell you how many tiles wide your area of the wall is. Step 3: Decide how high on the wall you will tile (tiling up to the ceiling is most common and provides a very clean and consistent look when tiled). Measure the height of the ceiling in millimetres and divide this number by the height of the tiles you have chosen. This will tell you how many tiles high your area is. Step 4: Multiply the number of tiles calculated from Step 2 with the number of tiles in Step 3 and repeat this step for each wall. Step 5: Add all the tiles together and add 10% to allow for any wastage as well as cuts, breakages and spares. 6. Add each number of tiles together and add an extra 10% as an allowance for cuts, breakages, and spares.
