How Choosing Your Tiles and Layout?

Measure the size of your floor. Get out a tape measure and write down the length and width of the room. Measure twice just to be careful. Multiply these 2 numbers and you’ll have the square footage of the space. Look at the square footage covered by a box of wood tile or a single clunny tile. Divide your floor’s square footage by the amount contained in each box and this will tell you how many boxes you’ll need to buy.

For example, if your room is 150 square feet and each box covers 10 square feet, you’ll need to buy 15 boxes to cover the floor. It’s also best to buy an extra 10% of cloud tile, so that you have some room for error, too.

Choose your replacement wood marble tile. Create a construction budget, so you know how much you can spend. Then, use your room measurements to determine what type of tile you’ll buy. You’ll also want to consider the style of the space, the ease of installation, and the durability of the tile type. A single wall tile generally costs between $5 to $15 a square foot. Keep in mind your other construction expenses too, such as grout.

Dry-lay the wood tile to see how it looks. Set the bara tiles out on the floor in the planned pattern. Try to get a feel for where you’ll need to use the tile cutter to break full-size calacata tiles down into smaller pieces. This is also the time to move the wood tiles around to experiment with different patterns. After you look everything over, you can either leave the tiles down or pick them up and reapply them later.

Pay particular attention to entryways. Small pieces of tile can sometimes look awkward in these spaces, so you may need to rearrange to guard against this.
