Material planning in the full workflow

Inputs, surface, and output are visible in one workspace, reducing rework and ordering errors.

From your layout to your order quantity

This calculator focuses on your purchase: count full tiles and tiles for cuts, add a reserve and round up to whole packs.

31 + 28 = 59 → × 1.10 → 65 tiles → 17 packs of 4

Example: L-shaped room 4.80 × 3.60 m minus 1.20 × 1.20 m, 60 × 60 cm tiles, 3 mm joints, grid offset 20 cm on both axes. No offcut reuse, 10% reserve. Four tiles per pack is an example assumption; use your product’s actual pack size.

What matters in practice

Result with clear quantity logic

Full tiles, cuts, waste, and total incl. reserve are shown transparently.

Practical input settings

Tile size, joint width, thickness, and reserve directly affect resulting quantities.

Examples from the tool

This is what it looks like planned out

The numbers above do not come from a spreadsheet but from a real layout. You can open these example projects directly – floor plan, laying plan and material list, exactly as the tool outputs them.

Three-room flat, one grid

Six rooms, eleven walls, five doorways – and a single herringbone grid running through every opening. Material is calculated for the whole flat at once.
