Do the same for length and multiply and you have the number of tiles for that section. Allow for a bit of wastage to be safe. Or just take your drawing into the tile shop and they'll work it out for you, that's what I did. dugimodo (138)
1339414 2013-05-02 23:07:00 I was allowing for breakages and using all the part tiles, i would add 10% for waste if I was measuring to do the job myself gary67 (56)

1339417 2013-05-03 02:56:00 Tile cutter, tile spacers, small cuts will need to done on a saw by a professional. It will take about 3 times as long as you think. Remember measure twice and cut once. You need a good base material (from you DIY store) Don't forget to start at the centre of a straight wall so last tiles on both sides are the same widths. Arnie (6624)
