Roughly 9 tiles (13"x13") to 1m squared 3m x 3m = 9m squared So 9 tiles x 9m = 81 tiles needed You may be lucky and get away with it lol usually if you don't get the extra tiles you'll need them and if you do get them you won't need them :laugh: Edited January 28, 2012 by mushroom 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

just jack 998 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 pinch a row that is not seen/really needed and screed it, then you might have a few spares for breakages Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulk73 151 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 move house to one where the floor is already tiled. that way, you will have by my recconing 78 tiles spare. you could put these on e-bay and sell em for a £each. hey presto. a nice tiled floor and enough money left over to go out for a few beers. :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
