To calculate the size of tiles needed for a particular area, measure the length and width of the space, and multiply them to get the total area in square units. Then, determine the size of the tiles and divide the entire area by the location of one tile. Round up to the nearest whole number to account for cuts or waste. For example, if a room measures 10 feet by 12 feet (120 square feet) and you plan to use 12-inch tiles (which cover 1 square foot each), you would need 120 tiles (120 divided by one equal 120).
With a narrow grout line of just 1/8 inch, the design will flow beautifully from one tile to the next.

Vitrified tiles, which are resilient and can sustain foot traffic, are the finest option for flooring. Tiles made of ceramic or porcelain are stain-resistant and ideal for use on walls since they do not absorb moisture. Choose tiles with a matt finish or anti-skid treatment for outdoor use to reduce the risk of falls.
