How to use it
- Calculate area per tile: 0.30m x 0.30m = 0.09m² per tile
- Calculate tiles without waste: 25m² ÷ 0.09m² = 278 tiles
- Apply 10% waste: 278 x 1.10 = 306 tiles
- Calculate boxes: 306 ÷ 8 = 38.25 → 39 boxes
Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Not accounting for cutting waste (10% straight lay, 15% diagonal)
- ⚠️ Not verifying all boxes are from the same batch (color variation risk)
- ⚠️ Not planning starting tile position to optimize edge cuts
Worked example
Calculate boxes of 30x30cm ceramic tiles for a 25m² floor (8 pieces per box).
For {area} m²: {piezas_ud} tiles needed, {cajas_ud} boxes or {area_merma_m2} m² with 10% waste.
