How do I calculate how many tiles I need?

With the CTM Tile Calculator, we make figuring out the exact measurements and total area needed to tile, easy. Our nifty calculator simply asks you to put in a few measurements, and it’ll calculate the total area for you. Here’s how:

When you want to know how to calculate number of tiles needed, whether it be for a floor, a wall, a feature wall, or even an outdoor space, you always need two measurements; length and width. To begin you will need to:

  • Get yourself a good quality measuring tape
  • Decide which unit of measurement you’ll be measuring in, i.e. metres or feet. 
  • With the CTM calculator, we offer you several options for taking these measurements including metres, centimetres, inches, feet, and yards
  • For a floor area, first measure the length and then measure the width.
  • The same applies for a wall, but if you have more than one wall to tile, simply measure one wall at a time and once you have the total area for each wall, you can add those all together to get the final total.
  • Then measure the width of the space or room.
