Calculate the number of tiles needed for floors, walls, and backsplashes. Includes grout lines, cuts, and waste factor.
Wastage
Straight: +10%। Diagonal: +15%। Herringbone: +20%। Same batch ज़रूरी — color variation between batches। Kajaria, Somany, Johnson: top Indian brands। 2×2 ft (60×60 cm): most popular format।
Indian Market
Ceramic: ₹25-60/sq ft। Vitrified: ₹40-100। Porcelain: ₹60-150। Italian import: ₹150-500+। Morbi (Gujarat) is the tile capital of India — factory direct prices 30-40% cheaper।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
The most common DIY tiling mistake: not back-buttering large-format tiles (12×24 and bigger). Apply thinset to both the floor AND the back of the tile, then comb one surface. This ensures 95%+ mortar coverage, preventing hollow spots that crack under foot traffic.
