The field guides

  1. Guide 01

    How many boxes of tile should you buy?

    Convert room measurements to whole cartons, then see how much material the rounding actually leaves for cuts and repairs.

  2. Guide 02

    How can you center a tile layout without skinny edge cuts?

    Compare a center seam with a centered tile using one measured span, actual face widths and the planned grout joints.

  3. Guide 03

    How do you measure an L-shaped backsplash and its trim?

    Separate wall area, extra height behind a range and exposed edges so every item is ordered in the right unit.

  4. Guide 04

    How do you make a floor tile cut list for a rectangular room?

    Follow a dimensioned floor plan from a 1,300 mm span to a piece-by-piece cut list and a sample carton order.

  5. Guide 05

    Can you cut two border pieces from one tile?

    Check the width left by a saw cut, account for a second pass and mark the factory edges and pattern direction each strip needs.
