How many tiles do you need for a wall or floor?
- Flooring
- Tile
- Estimating & Takeoff
Tile takeoff punishes rounding. Order short on a discontinued lot and the last row never matches; order long and the overage sits on the job as dead cost. The T1R Range measures the room with its laser, holds each run in a named list, and adds area on the tool, so the field dimensions behind the count are the ones actually on site rather than a scaled drawing. Those numbers move into the app and out to the supplier order without being read aloud or retyped.
How the tile count gets worked out
- Measure the real tile module, not the box size
- T1R Range adds area on the tool
- Each run saved to a named measurement list
- Field dimensions beat a scaled drawing
- T1R sends counts to the app for ordering
The video works through a large-format tile order: one tile is measured face-on to confirm the real module, then the wall and floor dimensions are taken and divided into it. It is the ordinary problem behind every tile job, since the nominal size printed on the box and the finished module with a grout joint are two different numbers, and the count only works if you start from the measured one.
