Hey there! So, you're looking to tile your wall and wondering just how much subway tile you'll need. Well, you've come to the right place. I'm a supplier of all kinds of subway tiles, and I'm here to help you figure this out.
First things first, let's talk about why subway tile is such a popular choice. Subway tile has been around for ages, and for good reason. It's classic, versatile, and can fit into just about any style of decor, whether you're going for a modern, minimalist look or a more traditional, vintage feel. It's also durable, easy to clean, and comes in a wide range of colors, sizes, and materials.
Now, let's get down to the nitty - gritty of calculating how much tile you need. The first step is to measure your wall. You'll need to measure the height and the width of the wall in feet. For example, if your wall is 8 feet high and 10 feet wide, you're off to a good start.
Once you have those measurements, multiply the height by the width. In our example, 8 feet times 10 feet equals 80 square feet. This is the total square footage of your wall. But hold on, we're not done yet.
You need to account for waste. When you're installing tile, there will always be some pieces that get cut, and sometimes you might break a tile or two. A good rule of thumb is to add about 10% to 15% to your total square footage to account for waste. So, if your wall is 80 square feet, adding 10% (which is 8 square feet) gives you a total of 88 square feet of tile that you should buy.
But what if your wall has windows or doors? Well, measure the height and width of each window and door, calculate their square footage, and subtract that from the total square footage of the wall. Let's say you have a window that's 3 feet high and 4 feet wide. The square footage of the window is 3 times 4, which is 12 square feet. If your wall was originally 80 square feet, subtract 12 square feet from it, and you're left with 68 square feet. Then, add your waste percentage to this new total.
Now, let's talk about the different types of subway tiles we offer. We have some really cool options, like the 35x71 Light Grey Travi Silver Travertine Patterned Floor Tile Living Room Hotel Wall.

When you're choosing the size of your subway tile, it can make a big difference in the look of your wall. Smaller tiles can create a more detailed, intricate look, while larger tiles can give a more modern, seamless appearance. For example, if you have a small bathroom, smaller subway tiles might make the space feel more cozy and intimate. On the other hand, if you have a large living room wall, larger tiles can make the wall look more expansive.
The material of the tile is also important. We offer subway tiles in porcelain, ceramic, and even natural stone. Porcelain tiles are very durable and resistant to scratches and stains. They're a great choice for high - traffic areas. Ceramic tiles are more affordable and come in a wide variety of colors and styles. Natural stone tiles, like travertine, have a unique, organic look but may require more maintenance.
