PACKAGES AND LEFTOVERS

Tile grids and packs — tiles per pack scenarios.

How does changing tiles per pack affect tile grids and packs when the other inputs stay fixed?

What this decision changes

A package quantity is a purchasing denominator. It does not change the net requirement of the measured task. Method basis: Every grid position needs a tile; rows and columns round up before the purchase allowance. Rooms share the same selected tile and pack. Cut-off reuse is not optimised.

The focus is tiles per pack. All other shared inputs remain fixed for each evaluated range.

Tiles = Σ(ceil((L + joint)/(tile L + joint)) × ceil((W + joint)/(tile W + joint)))Tile Layout and Packs Calculator

Evaluate your supplied alternatives

Start with your measured plan and selected product data. The initial values and range are illustrative. Each scenario changes only tiles per pack; the other entered values stay fixed.

Display units

Measured plan and product inputs

Tile length

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Tile width

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Specified joint width

Where to get this value

Copy this specification from your supplied design or product documentation. This tool does not select spacing, fixing patterns or structural requirements.

Tile orientation

Tiles per pack

Where to get this value

Use the actual usable quantity or dimensions of the product you intend to buy. Check the label and the unit shown here.

Waste allowance

Shortcuts only; choose your own allowance above.

Where to get this value

Enter your own allowance. Presets are input shortcuts, not a construction recommendation.

Length

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Width

Where to get this value

Measure this dimension in your plan or on site and use the displayed unit. For irregular shapes, divide the geometry into the supported sections.

Supplied comparison range for tiles per pack

Lower supplied comparison value

Where to get this value

Use the actual usable quantity or dimensions of the product you intend to buy. Check the label and the unit shown here.

Upper supplied comparison value

Where to get this value

Use the actual usable quantity or dimensions of the product you intend to buy. Check the label and the unit shown here.

Nine evenly spaced values are evaluated. Whole counts are rounded to distinct integer scenarios. Values between the listed samples are not calculated.

9 evaluated scenarios

Baseline: Tile packs to purchase — 4 packs. Rejected combinations remain visible below.

Quantity to plot

Each bar is one actual calculated tile packs to purchase. Horizontal values: tiles per pack in the supplied count basis.

Read the evaluated results

Inspect the purchase staircase and the resulting quantity lines. Larger packages can reduce package count while increasing unused compatible stock.

Replace every illustrative baseline measurement and selected product value with the inputs for your actual task.
Enter a comparison range on the focused input's stated unit and quantity basis.
Review rejected combinations and use the exact detail lines to distinguish measured demand from whole purchases.

Keep the comparison within scope

Different package sizes can share an order comparison only when the selected contents and quantity bases are interchangeable.

Uses supplied geometry, product properties and purchasing specifications.

Does not choose or certify construction dimensions, spacing, loads or regulatory requirements.

Only the listed samples are evaluated. Intermediate values, alternate constraints and global cutting optimality are not inferred from the graph.
