| Format | Calculation | Area per tile |
|---|---|---|
| 750 × 1500 mm | 0.75 m × 1.50 m | 1.125 m² |
| 900 × 1800 mm | 0.90 m × 1.80 m | 1.620 m² |
| 800 × 1350 mm | 0.80 m × 1.35 m | 1.080 m² |
Calculate tile area, then allow for cuts
The calculations describe one nominal tile face. They exclude joints and the allowances for cuts or breakage. Confirm the packing specification separately for carton quantities and shipment weight.
For example, a 30 m² room divided by 1.125 m² gives about 26.67 nominal tile faces. That arithmetic is not an order recommendation: the actual room layout, edge cuts and agreed spare quantity still have to be resolved.
Draw the joints and edge cuts
Mark the main sightlines, doorways, corners and fixed furniture on a measured plan. Compare more than one starting line and orientation. Record the proposed joint width and use actual dimensions once confirmed.
Ask the installer to plan movement joints with the complete assembly. TCNA notes that their design depends on conditions such as exposure and the supporting construction; a tile format alone cannot provide the joint schedule.

Before final approval, discuss delivery access, safe handling, cutting equipment, substrate condition and compatible setting materials with the installer. A larger nominal face does not establish product thickness or a suitable adhesive.
For a wet area, resolve falls, drain geometry and waterproofing as part of the design. Use the model-specific documents and the applicable installation instructions to confirm the proposed assembly.
Keep alternative sizes separate
Choose a format after reviewing the layout alongside samples and installation constraints. If two sizes are alternatives, keep them as separate enquiry lines with their model references, estimated quantities and unresolved questions.

Common questions
Can I use these areas as carton coverage?
No. Carton coverage depends on the confirmed piece count and packing specification. Request the packaging data for the selected model.
Can large tiles be laid without joints?
Do not plan a joint-free installation. Have the installer define grout and movement joints for the product and assembly.
