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

About

Tiler Pro

Features
Read full description

Tiler Pro measures a bathroom and works out exactly how much tile you need. Walls and floor are counted separately, so you can quote a job from your phone. MEASURE THE ROOM - Bathroom scan: walk the room once and the floor outline, walls, windows, doors, niches, reveals, sills and the bath are detected and measured automatically, to about 2 cm - Type the dimensions: start from a rectangle and correct it with your finger WHICH IPHONE YOU NEED The scan needs the LiDAR sensor, so an iPhone Pro - iPhone 12 Pro, 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro, 16 Pro or 17 Pro, Max models included. On any other iPhone the scan is simply not offered and you type the dimensions instead; every other feature works exactly the same. iPhone only, iOS 17 or later. EVERY DIMENSION IS EDITABLE Tap any edge in the 3D model or the plan view and type the real number. The outline always stays closed, so changing one wall moves the opposite one with it. Height, wall lengths, openings and floor exclusions are all yours to adjust. YOU ALWAYS SEE WHERE A NUMBER CAME FROM Every measurement carries its source and a confidence level, and anything that still needs checking is marked in amber. You are quoting real money from these numbers, so the app never dresses a rough estimate up as a survey. TILE LAYOUT AND QUANTITIES Set your tile size, joint width and starting point. The grid is laid out on the model, every cut tile is highlighted, and you get net wall area, net floor area, tile count and pack count. OPENINGS SUBTRACTED PROPERLY Doors, windows and recesses are subtracted only where they actually fall inside the tiled band, so a door taller than your tiling never takes off more than it really covers. EXPORT Text, CSV, and a full PDF with the tile layout drawing, ready to hand to the client or the merchant. SEVEN LANGUAGES English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Simplified Chinese, including the PDF, the decimal separator and the date format. THREE DAYS FREE, THEN TILER PRO Install it and use everything for three days - no card, no sign-up, nothing to tick.
