Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate tile size in square feet?
Multiply the tile's length by width in inches, then divide by 144 (square inches per square foot) — for example, a 12×12 inch tile is exactly 1 square foot.
What waste factor should I use?
10% is standard for simple rectangular rooms with straight tile patterns; diagonal patterns, complex room shapes, or large-format tiles often need 15-20% to account for additional cuts.
Should I buy all tiles from the same dye lot?
Yes — tile color and shading can vary subtly between production batches (dye lots), so buying all tiles for a project at once from the same lot avoids visible mismatches, especially important for light-colored or uniform tiles.
