How it’s worked out
- Floor area = length × width
- Tiles = floor area ÷ area of one tile, plus the extra percentage, rounded up
Example
A 5 × 4 m floor (20 m²) with 60 × 60 cm tiles (0.36 m² each) and 10% extra:
20 ÷ 0.36 × 1.1 ≈ 62 tiles
Common tile sizes
| Size | Tiles per m² |
|---|---|
| 30 × 30 cm | about 11.1 |
| 60 × 60 cm | about 2.8 |
| 60 × 120 cm | about 1.4 |
