What percentage of extra tile squaring is usually required to order?

Before ordering tiles, it is necessary to know how much surface to tile.

It should also be noted that even premium quality tiles can contain some deviations (standards allow for 0.5%), factory error, transport damage, etc.

Some tiles have to be cut, some need installation holes, so this should be taken into account when ordering extra tile squaring.

Experience has shown that the same tile can hardly be found in a few years, so we need a certain percentage to keep it in reserve for future adjustments. And when ordering we have this in mind. It is also very important to have a sample of tiles that we can show in case of complaints.

All in all, we should be ordering 5 to 10% extra of the tile quadrant we will need at the moment, and that should be a reserve for exactly the things we listed above.

Advice – Get 5-10% more than the required tile size, you won’t go wrong.
