ATTENTION: DIYers, Tile Store Owners, Retailers, Store Managers, Employees and Contractors No special licenses or fees required for usage with your business services. Easy to use professional tile calculating app for floors, walls & counter tops. Make DIY Tile Calculator the Go-To-App for yourself and your customers. Thereby freeing everyone from repetitive calculations that must be done then redone again for tile size changes and/or price changes. Calculate the number of tiles and/or boxes needed and cost to cover multiple areas. Measure and subtract from total square footage non-tiled areas such as windows, sink, stove top island and etc... Use multiple tile sheets (FREE version limited to 2 tile sheets) to keep a running total of all tiles and cost for all areas. Then save all tile sheets (PRO version), as a project, using a descriptive name. An unlimited number of projects may be created and saved for comparing cost and material. Floors, walls, backsplash, counter tops or any other area can be divided into smaller squares to make measuring layouts a lot simpler. A circle, oval and triangle area can be calculated for number of tiles needed. Borders can now be calculated using only two tile sheets when subtracting non-tiled inner area. Border tiles will be much easier to calculate when using two or more tile sheets. Just measure each side as a rectangle and the app will keep track and total each area. Share the results with others via app generated pdf file (PRO version) and email. Then print the report to have a hard copy handily available. Also, each tile sheet may include a picture to show your favorite tile styles or work areas. Enjoy...
