Why Calculate Tiles Accurately?
Accurately calculating the number of tiles needed for your project is essential for several reasons:
Cost Efficiency
Buying too many tiles means wasting money on materials you don't need. Buying too few means additional trips to the store and potential color mismatch between batches.
Project Planning
Knowing the exact quantity helps with budgeting, scheduling, and ensuring you have all materials before starting your project.
Minimize Waste
Calculating accurately helps reduce material waste, making your project more environmentally friendly.
