Tile calculator

Plan and optimize terrace tiles digitally.

From format and joint width to reserve and orientation: every input updates area, cuts, and quantities immediately.

Tile calculator overview

Planning in one workspace

Layout, variants, and results stay in one flow without switching tools.

Plan terrace slabs on your floor plan

This calculator focuses on your outdoor area: slab size, joints and cutouts define the grid. Calculate slab quantities first, then plan the supporting structure.

Floor plan → slab grid → cuts → reserve → supporting structure

Slab quantity and pedestal quantity are different results. Support points depend on slab size and construction. Permitted spans and support conditions must match the manufacturer’s specifications.


What matters in practice

Optimization across up to 50,000 variants

Optimization tests many orientations and offsets to find a layout with lower waste and tile demand.

Detail down to edge zones

Cut zones at transitions are visible early, before ordering material.


Why this calculator works in practice

You can instantly see how settings, pattern, and orientation change cuts and material demand.
