About 60x120 Tile Calculator
A 60 by 120 centimetre tile covers 0.72 square metres, so a square metre takes 1.39 tiles. A 4 by 3 metre room of 12 square metres needs about 17 tiles before waste and 19 with a 10 percent allowance. This page opens with the size already set, so you only enter the room. Large format tiles change the job more than the count suggests. Each tile is stiff and long, so the floor has to be much flatter than for small tiles: any dip shows as a raised edge where two tiles meet, which is why levelling compound and a clip and wedge levelling system are standard with this size. Long rectangular tiles are also slightly bowed along their length from the kiln, and the common guidance is to offset rows by no more than a third of the tile length rather than the half brick bond used with small tiles, which would put the high centre of one tile against the low ends of its neighbours. Expect boxes of two tiles, 1.44 square metres, and allow at least 10 percent waste, since an offcut from a tile this size is often too small to use elsewhere. For a smaller large format see 60x60 Tile Calculator: Tiles per m², Boxes & Waste (cm).

Frequently Asked Questions
How many 60x120 tiles per square metre?
1.39, since each tile covers 0.72 square metres. Multiply your area by 1.39 and round up for the raw count, then add the waste allowance.
How many 60x120 tiles for a 20 square metre room?
About 28 before waste and 31 with a 10 percent allowance. At two tiles per box that is 16 boxes.
How many 60x120 tiles are in a box?
Usually two, covering 1.44 square metres, though some thinner ranges pack three. Enter the number from the label in the tiles per box field to get the box count.
Can I lay 60x120 tiles in a half brick pattern?
It is usually advised against. Long tiles have a slight bow, and a 50 percent offset puts the high middle of one tile next to the low ends of the next. An offset of a third of the length or less keeps the joints flatter.
How heavy is a 60x120 tile?
Typically around 15 to 20 kilograms for standard 9 to 10 millimetre porcelain. Two people are needed to carry and place them, and suction lifters make it much easier to set them without damaging the edges.
