Wall Tile Calculator

Tiles and boxes for a splashback, shower or feature wall.

How this works

Tiled area is width times height minus any window or niche. We add 10% for straight lay, 12% for brick bond and 18% for herringbone cuts (plus 5% for large tiles), then round up to whole boxes of about 1 m².
