It's easy to do. Just follow these steps.
- Measure Your Space. Grab the length and width of the area you're tiling and multiply them to find your square footage.
- Plan for Extras. Break and cuts aren't always perfect. To keep it safe, add about 5-7% more materials to your total for regular shapes. This covers any oops moments.
- Consider More for a Funky Layout. If you're laying pieces diagonally or dealing with a non-standard shape, bump that extra up to about 15%. This helps make sure you don't run short when dealing with those tricky cuts and corners.
It's always better to have a few extra stone pieces left than to stop the project in the middle to buy more. Not sure about the numbers? Chat with a pro to get them spot on.
