How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the room length and width in feet.
- Enter the cork tile or plank dimensions in inches.
- Set the waste factor (5% for straight, 10–15% for diagonal layouts).
- Indicate whether you are using glue-down or floating installation.
- Review the tile count, adhesive or underlayment quantity, and estimated total cost.
How the result changes with Tile width
| Tile width | Tiles / planks needed | Boxes needed |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 185 | 9 |
| 11 | 101 | 9 |
| 17 | 66 | 9 |
| 22 | 51 | 9 |

- Tile width
- Width of each cork tile or plank.
- Tile length
- Length of each cork tile or plank.
- Waste factor
- Extra material for cuts (5% straight, 10-15% diagonal).
