How to calculate number of tiles for a floor

A tile is mainly a thin object usually square or rectangular in shape and it is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material like ceramic, stone, metal, baked clay or even glass which is generally used for covering roofs, floors, walls or other objects like tabletops. Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings and can range from simple square tiles to complex or mosaics.

Floor Tiles are mainly used in Residential buildings to make every possible thing beautiful; engineers used them almost everywhere like in stairs, lobby, apartment, roof etc. Though floor tiles are used everywhere but wall tiles are mainly used in bathroom and kitchen.

So, calculating tiles for bedroom and bathroom are not similar so there are some things required to keep in mind while calculating tiles. While calculating floor tiles three things need to consider which are:

• Skirting is a pillage of tiles which is laid in walls and adjacent to the floor.
• Any apartment different tiles may be used in an apartment, while calculating it is need to check.


The basic of calculating floor tiles is to get the area of tiling floor, for that just needed to get the dimension of two opposite direction and multiply them.

But depending on the situation there are two different methods that can be used while calculating tiles, those are: Average method and Counting method.
