Use our clever tile calculator and remove the guessing game of how many packs you require for your DIY project. Just follow these easy steps:
- Divide the area you want to cover in rectangular sections as pictured. Make all measurements in mm.
- We recommend to add a minimum of 10% wastage to your order. Select your wastage from the drop down menu. As a rule of thumb larger tiles and a more geometric look (e.g. the herringbone tiles that interlocks both horizontally and vertically) require a higher waste percentage.
- The calculator base the calculations on the tiles being applied in the direction as pictured of the hand holding the tile. If you intend to position your tiles in the opposite direction, simply swap width with height.
Phew! That number crunching was an exhausting exercise. (We hope we got it right!!)
Now it's up to you mate. You get the easy part and all you need to do is just to stick them to your wall (with the guidance of our awesome instructions of course).
Boring but required facts | 2.5mm Premium Tiles:
- You may be wondering how you calculate how many packs of tiles you need. Don’t stress it, our handy calculator above is designed to quickly find out approximately how many tiles your project requires. Of course you still need to measure the surface you intend to cover in mm but this should really help and make the buying process easy!
- When it comes to installation - don’t be a ‘know it all’. Read our full installation guide here. If you skip this step your project may not look top notch and you certainly won’t give us a 5 star review that we so desperately want. Do us both a favour and check out the guide!
- One of the positives to our wall tiles is that they are easy to install as they are self-adhesive. For anyone wondering, this means they have a sticky back and can just be stuck to a wall. That’s right; peel off the backing paper and stick them to your wall like a jigsaw puzzle. No extra glue is required and definitely no grout or tradesmen. The tiles can be installed by you or by any friend or family member you wish to bribe.
- The tiles are 30.5cm x 30.5cm and a whopping 2.5mm thick! That is thicker than any other low budget peel and stick tile on the market. Why so thick? Because they hide imperfections better!
- The tiles are hard wearing and scratch resistant and if we're getting technical they are made with a PU Gel. This gives them a squashy finish with a rich colour that is strikingly close in look to ceramic tiles. They won’t turn yellow from the sun or be scratched from cleaning. They’ll stay up until the day you decide you want to jump on the next trend. As an added bonus; the backing paper is degradable.
Happy peel and sticking!

Measure: Measure the area you are tiling correctly and mark guidelines on the wall ready for installation.
Cut: Mark the backing paper of the tiles using a ruler and pencil, then cut using a craft knife.
Peel: Remove a small section of the paper backing and align the tile on the wall. Once in place remove the remainder of the backing.
Stick & Interlock: You will need to butt join the tiles like a jigsaw puzzle. Once in place, press the tiles down firmly allowing the glue to bond with the surface. Remove the transparent protective film.
