Tile Size Tips
Standard tile sizes range from 6×6 inches for mosaics to 24×24 inches for large format tiles. Larger tiles mean fewer cuts but may require more precise installation.
Step 2: Cutting & Waste
About Waste & Cuts
Waste percentage accounts for cutting, breakage, and pattern matching. Complex patterns like herringbone typically require 15-20% waste, while straight layouts need 10-15%.
