A little understanding
goes a long way.
How much waste should I allow?
Allow 10% for a straight pattern, 15% for diagonal or herringbone, and more for small rooms with lots of cuts. Large-format tiles waste more on each cut.
How much adhesive and grout?
Wall tiles typically need about 3–4 kg of adhesive per m², and floors 5–6 kg. Grout depends on tile size and joint width; we estimate it from both.
How accurate is this?
It gives a good estimate for planning and ordering. Check the coverage and sizes on the products you buy, measure carefully, and keep receipts so you can return unopened extras.
