How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the total area you want to cover in square feet.
- Enter the length and width of a single slate tile in inches.
- Click the "Calculate" button to determine the number of tiles needed.
- The result will display the number of tiles required to cover the specified area.
Understanding the Formula
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the number of tiles needed:
Number of Tiles = Area to Cover / Tile Coverage
Where:
- Area to Cover is the total area in square feet that you want to cover.
- Tile Coverage is the area of one tile in square feet, calculated by multiplying the tile length and width in inches and then dividing by 144 (to convert square inches to square feet).
