Tile Coverage Estimator
Estimate how many tiles you need to cover a room, including layout-aware waste (straight, 45° diagonal, herringbone, basketweave), boxes to buy, grout volume and weight, and an optional cost total. Enter room and tile dimensions plus joint width to get a ready-to-order material list.
