How To Use The Backsplash Tile Calculator
Installing a backsplash is a great way to add visual interest and protect your walls. Our calculator makes it easy to figure out exactly how much tile you’ll need.
Here’s how it works: First, carefully measure your backsplash area and enter the dimensions.
You’ll need: – Wall length – Distance from countertop to bottom of cabinets – Size of any openings like windows or appliances – Tile dimensions.
Next, decide if you want to estimate the project cost. If so, check the box and enter: – Price per box of tile – Number of tiles per box.
Once your measurements are entered, click “Calculate.” The calculator will automatically factor in 10% extra for wasted tiles. It will tell you: – Total backsplash area – Area of the openings – Backsplash area excluding openings – Recommended number of tiles needed – Total estimated cost if you included pricing.
The results give you the exact materials required. For best results, double check room dimensions and tile sizes. Consider layout patterns that require diagonal cuts which may need more tiles. Use the reset button to clear the calculator and start a new project. With the material estimate from our backsplash calculator, you can shop confidently and budget accurately. Then enjoy your stylish new backsplash.
Considerations:
Confirm the exact size of the tiles, including any spacing for grout lines as the calculator assumes tiles are measured in full inches. In addition, Plan for edge tiles or finishing pieces, which may not be fully accounted for by the waste factor.
If you plan on using a specific layout pattern (e.g., straight, diagonal) be aware that this may affect the number of tiles needed. Layouts requiring diagonal cuts or intricate designs usually need more tiles that are not included in the calculations.
