πŸ“ How to Calculate Cartons Needed

πŸ“ How to Measure Before You Buy

Use this simple guide to help estimate how many cartons of tile you need before placing your order.


βœ… Step 1: Measure Your Space

Measure the length and width of each area you plan to tile (in feet). Multiply the two numbers to get the square footage.

πŸ“Œ Formula:
Length (ft) Γ— Width (ft) = Square Footage


βœ… Step 2: Add Extra for Waste

Add 10% extra to your total to account for cuts, trimming, mistakes, or future repairs.

πŸ“Œ Formula:
Square Footage Γ— 1.10 = Total Sq. Ft. with Overage


βœ… Step 3: Calculate Cartons Needed

Find the product's coverage per carton (listed in the product details). Divide your adjusted total square footage by that number.

πŸ“Œ Formula:
Total Sq. Ft. Γ· Coverage per Carton = Cartons Needed


βœ… Step 4: Round Up

Always round up to the next whole carton. This ensures you’ll have enough material on hand.


πŸ“¦ Sample Scenario

Let’s say you’re tiling a small bathroom:

  • The bathroom measures 10 ft by 8 ft
    β†’ 10 Γ— 8 = 80 sq. ft.

  • Add 10% for waste:
    β†’ 80 Γ— 1.10 = 88 sq. ft. needed

  • Each carton covers 9.7 sq. ft.
    β†’ 88 Γ· 9.7 = 9.07 cartons

  • Always round up
    β†’ You should order 10 cartons


πŸ’‘ Tip:

If your space has unusual shapes or multiple rooms, measure each area separately and then total them before using the formulas above.
