A few points to remember when measuring.

  • There can be significant variations in batches so always calculate and buy the quantity you need in the first place and check that each box has the same batch number.

  • Always allow a further 5% for wastage, 10% if tiles are to be fixed diagonally.

  • Any design, decor or border tiles incorporated will reduce the quantity of plain tiles required. Be sure to allow for this in your calculations.  

When measuring.

  • Measure each wall / floor area individually and add the totals together.

  • Measure the height and the width / length and breath and multiply the two to calculate the square area.

  • Window recesses, alcoves, bath sides and boxings should be calculated separately.

  • Remember to reduce your calculations to allow for the door(s), window(s), fixture(s), bath and fixed unit areas.

  • Don't forget 5% for wastage or 10% for wastage if fixing diagonally.

At The Tile Barn we price our tiles individually. This eases calculation and ensures that you are purchasing no more than you need.
