FAQ
How much waste should I allow for tiles?
Usually 5–10% for straight laying, and up to 15% for diagonal patterns or rooms with many corners.
How many square metres does a litre of paint cover?
It depends on the paint and surface, usually 8–12 m² per litre per coat. Use the figure printed on the can.
