Buy all your tile from one lot/batch — colors can vary between production runs. Keep a few spares for future repairs.

Estimate only. These figures help you plan how much to buy — they are not engineering or structural advice. Actual needs vary with site conditions, waste, and installation method, so order a little extra and confirm final quantities with your supplier or contractor before you buy or start the job.
