📐 Calculation Formulas

Area: L×W for floors, L×H for walls | Area per Tile: (L/12)×(W/12) sq.ft | Base Tiles: Area ÷ Area per Tile | With Wastage: Base × (1 + wastage% + pattern%) | Boxes: ⌈Tiles ÷ per Box⌉ | Adhesive: Area(m²) × 4.5 kg | Grout: Area(m²) × joint factor

💰 Practical Examples

Example 1: 15'×12' Living Room, 24"×24" Tiles

Area: 180 sq.ft | Tiles: 180÷4=45 base, 50 with 10% wastage | Boxes: 13 (4/box) | Adhesive: ~75 kg (4 bags) | Grout: ~5 kg (1 bag)

Example 2: 8'×6' Bathroom (Floor+Walls), 12"×24" Tiles

Floor: 48 sq.ft | Walls: 175 sq.ft (after door) | Total: 223 sq.ft | Tiles: 112 base, 129 with 15% | Boxes: 33
