Greetings...

I know 12x12 tiles is the nominal size. The actual may be 11 7/8". But
there
is usually some width for grout between the tiles. With these two factors
combined, how does one figure out the number of tiles needed? For example,
I
have a room of exactly 6' x 10'. 60 tiles enough?

Thanks.



As a general rule always buy 110% of the actual measurement to allow for
waste, a miscut, a defective tile, or future replacement. If I had a 6 x
10 room to do I would buy 70 square foot (usually 10 per box for ceramic)
and usually only sold by the box.
