For tile installers

Price tile jobs with wastage that survives the offcut bin

Mark each wet area and dry area independently, set the wastage that matches the tile format, and get area plus perimeter for every room on the plan.

Tile wastage is rarely a flat number. A 300x600 rectified tile in a square ensuite is one figure; a 600x600 diagonal in an open-plan living room is another. AreaSum lets you measure each room as its own polygon so you can apply the right wastage where it counts and stop padding the whole job to cover a bathroom.

Why tile installers use it

Built for the way you quote

Wet areas treated as their own room

Bathrooms, laundries and ensuites each get their own measurement with their own wastage figure. The total comes out as separate line items, not one rolled-up sqm with a guess on top.

Perimeter for tile trims and skirting

Every room reports its perimeter in linear metres alongside the area, so quad, listello, schluter trims and skirting tiles are in the quote from version one.

High-wastage materials, properly accounted

Set a wastage percentage per material. Mosaic, large-format and patterned tiles each get their own figure. The exported report shows raw area and area-with-wastage side by side so the customer sees the maths.

Questions, answered

What tile installers ask first

Can I set different wastage figures for different tiles?

Yes. Assign a flooring type per room and set the wastage per type. A bathroom with mosaic at 15 percent and a living room with rectified format tile at 8 percent come out as two line items in the same job.

Does AreaSum count grout or adhesive?

The report gives you area and perimeter. Adhesive coverage and grout bag count come from your supplier specs and tile gap width. We are scoping a tile + grout calculator under /calculators if you want one button for everything.

Can I measure floor and wall tiles in the same project?

Floor tiles are the primary use case. For walls, treat each wall as its own room with the wall height as one dimension, set scale per page, and the area calculations still hold. Wall tiles get their own line in the totals.
