Example Box Coverage Matrix
Examples only: these packing quantities are not verified Cevic specifications. Use the supplier-confirmed pieces per box in the calculator.
| Tile Size | Pcs/Box | Sq. Ft | Sq. M |
|---|---|---|---|
| 600 × 1200 mm (2×4 ft) | 2 | 15.5 | 1.44 |

Wastage Rules of Thumb
- 5%Straight Grid Laying: Minimal diagonal cutting on rectangular rooms.
- 10%Example Allowance: Accounts for doors, columns, bathroom fittings, and tile skirting.
- 15%Herringbone or Diagonal: High cutting frequency along borders and odd-shaped rooms.
How to Calculate Tile Quantities for Floors & Walls
Measure Net Area
Measure Length and Width in feet or meters. For L-shaped rooms, split the floorplan into smaller rectangles and sum the totals.
Add Cutting Wastage
Multiply your net area by 1.10 (for 10% wastage allowance) to determine the gross tile coverage required.
Determine Box Count
Divide gross area by square feet per box (using the supplier-confirmed packing figure) and always round up to the nearest whole box.
