How much tile do I need for my project?
Measure your space's length and width in feet, then multiply to get the square footage. Add 10-15% for waste and cuts (more for diagonal patterns or complex layouts). For example, a 10x12 foot room needs 120 sqft + 12-18 sqft waste = 132-138 sqft total. Use our tile calculator for instant estimates.
What is the best tile for bathrooms?
Porcelain tile is the best choice for bathrooms due to its low water absorption rate (less than 0.5%). It's durable, easy to clean, and available in hundreds of styles. For shower floors, choose smaller mosaic tiles with more grout lines for better traction. Natural stone like marble adds luxury but requires sealing.

What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?
Porcelain tile is denser and more durable than ceramic, with a water absorption rate below 0.5% vs 3-7% for ceramic. Porcelain is better for high-traffic areas, outdoor use, and wet environments. Ceramic tile is more affordable and easier to cut for DIY projects. Both come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes.
