Configure a product
| Setting | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Tile width and length | Positive physical dimensions from the manufacturer. |
| Dimension unit | The unit of those stored numbers. |
| Pieces per box | A positive whole number for the sold box. |
| Box coverage | Optional manufacturer-published coverage, with its matching area unit. |
| Waste allowance | An allowance appropriate to the project; custom control depends on the plan. |
A saved unit change does not convert the stored numeric values. If you change inches to centimetres, convert and update the numbers yourself before saving. Shopper-facing unit switching is separate: the calculator converts the shopper’s measurements for its calculation.
When valid manufacturer box coverage is supplied, the calculator uses it in preference to the dimensions-derived coverage. Without published coverage, it calculates the required pieces and rounds up to whole boxes using pieces per box. Review variants individually when their dimensions or box specifications differ; variant-level controls require the relevant plan.
