How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Room length = 20, Room width = 15, Tile size (edge) = 24, Thickness = 8 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Tiles needed
    Tiles needed
    83 = 83
  3. Calculate Material cost
    Material cost = areaWithWaste * costPerSqFt
    1485 = $1,485
  4. Calculate Room area
    Room area = roomLengthFt * roomWidthFt
    300 = 300
  5. Calculate Adhesive needed
    Adhesive needed
    7 = 7
