Tile and plank planning

Plan a tile or plank layout

Enter a rectangle or an L-shaped area with one rectangular notch, add the tile and pack details, then review the layout count, your chosen allowance and the whole-pack estimate.

Start with an example or your own measurements

Enter the room and tile details

The layout and quantity estimate update together, so you can see which measurements changed the answer before you compare it with the room and product label.

1. Choose units
2. Describe the room
3. Add the tile or plank
4. Add your allowance and pack size

Tile estimate updated: 131 tiles after your allowance, 17 estimated packs.

Tile layout and cut mapFull tiles are blue. Tiles that cross the room edge or L-shaped notch are amber with diagonal stripes.
Blue: full tile. Amber stripes: a tile position that needs a cut.
Read all calculation assumptions
  • The layout starts square at the room's top-left corner.
  • A half-bond row moves by half of one tile-and-grout module, rounded to the nearest whole millimetre.
  • Each visible cut is treated as using a separate tile. Offcuts are not optimised, and the plan does not promise that an offcut can be reused.
  • The grout value is used between tiles. Perimeter movement joints, thresholds and substrate conditions are not included.
  • The extra allowance is added to the drawn layout count. The separate face-area reference excludes grout and does not override the layout.
  • For an L-shaped room, the rectangular notch is shown at the bottom-right; rotating the sketch does not change its area.
