How to calculate the amount of tile you need

If your room is rectangular, measure the length and the width of the room. Multiply the two measurements to get the total square footage of the room.

For example, if the room measures 10 feet wide by 12 feet long, multiply 10 by 12. The square footage of this room is 120 square feet.

We recommend adding 10% to your total square footage to account for cut tiles, breakage and mistakes.
