How much extra tile should I order?

We generally recommend ordering at least 10% additional tiles to allow for cutting, installation waste and future repairs. This is particularly important for handmade tiles, where natural variations in dimensions, edges and surfaces may require additional selection during installation. Projects involving diagonal layouts, intricate patterns or areas with numerous cuts may require a larger allowance. The appropriate quantity also depends on the tile format, layout and characteristics of the material. We recommend confirming the final quantity with your installer before placing an order.
