Project ticket

Tile for a 5x8 bathroom floor

The initial 5×8 ft bathroom floor is 40 sq ft. With 12×12 in square tiles and 10% tile waste, the example estimates 44 tiles. Thinset and grout use separate product-coverage assumptions.

What this estimate assumes
  • Square tile face area is used; joints do not reduce the tile allowance. Tiles per box are not known.
  • Waste (10%) applies to tiles only. Thinset and grout use installed area and your entered package coverage; confirm coverage for tile size, joint depth/width and trowel.

How to check this list before buying

Check cases and setting materials

The tile area including waste is 44 sq ft. Convert the tile count to cases using the actual pieces or coverage per case, then round up to the packages sold.

The initial thinset and grout results use the entered coverage values. Replace those assumptions with your products' data. Tile layout, joint dimensions, substrate preparation, and the wet-area assembly need their own checks.

Use the purchase PDF to keep tile, thinset, and grout quantities separate. See how to read a material shopping list.
