You plan to lay tiles in your house or work as a tiler? This app helps you to plan the laying of the tiles. After entering all necessary information, the area with the tiles will be displayed. The tiles can be moved within the area with your finger. This makes it possible to optimally place the tiles to avoid very narrowly cut tiles. If you are satisfied with the positioning of the tiles, you can view the cut tiles with the dimensions. The total number of tiles and the number of cut tiles are also displayed. Only 6 steps are necessary: 1. Select area type 2. Input the area dimensions 3. Input the tile size 4. Enter the grout line width 5. Select the laying pattern 6. Enter the project name
