When arriving at the tile store, you should have a clear idea of the area you wish to tile and the amount of foot traffic it will be exposed to.
Measure the floor and wall areas to be tiled. If the tiles are regular in size, then you should add no more than 10% to 15% for cuts, breakages and spares. Always order an extra 10% – 15%, even if you don’t use them, they will often be useful at a later date, if tiles are broken or damaged in the future. Ensure that you establish the tiling technique and pattern you will require, as this can make a difference to the amount of tiles you need.
Think about any accessories like soap dishes, step edges or brass strips to finish off your tiling and give you a professional looking project. If you have any queries, or are struggling to know how many tiles you will require, give the Johnson Tiles team a call today and we will help you out!
