NEWSetting-out dimensions and cut sheet

Tile calculator,
down to the last tile.

Tiles, boxes, adhesive, grout and every cut, worked out from your real room — then a laying plan ready for the job site.

A real architect’s plan, laid out. The ground floor of a detached house: the PDF imported, scaled on a known dimension, then laid out room by room — here under five patterns. The figures below are those of the exported report: half-offset pattern, 600 × 600 porcelain, 3 mm joint.

Ground floor — Zone 1Pattern: Half offsetExport report
The same ground floor laid out with a half-offset pattern
Every other row shifted by half a tile. The offset absorbs out-of-square partition walls.

Tiled area

80.48 m²

Tiles to order

285 at 600 × 600

Cuts to make

130, 23 of them narrow

Skirting boards

Setting-out axes

The two red lines are the chalk lines to snap on the slab. The whole layout starts at their intersection.

Partition walls

Partitions are subtracted from the tileable area: you do not order tiles for plasterboard.

Perimeter cuts

Every edge cut is labelled and dimensioned in the report, ready for the saw.

The report from this project

How it works

From measurements to a laying plan in three steps.

Draw your room to the millimetre, choose tile or wood flooring, and let Tilelico calculate the layout, cuts, quantities and setting-out dimensions.

01

Draw

Reproduce your room to the millimetre: rectangle, L shape or a point-by-point outline with each wall length entered from the keyboard.

Wall snapping, live angles and partitions that split a whole floor into rooms.

02

Configure

Choose the flooring and pattern: size, joint, orientation, starting point and cut distribution.

Twenty-seven sizes, fourteen patterns, multi-size opus and wood flooring with expansion clearance.

03

Lay

Tilelico calculates the layout, cuts, quantities and, above all, the setting-out dimensions to mark on the floor.

Grouped cut sheet, adhesive and grout quantities, and a job-site PDF.

Laying patterns

14 patterns, calculated for real.

Every preview below comes from the Tilelico engine, not an illustration. What you see is what your room will produce.

Straight

Aligned joints in both directions: the most common and economical pattern.

Straight at 90°

The same grid rotated by a quarter turn.

Half offset

Every other row starts half a tile further along.

Third offset

A one-third offset suited to elongated formats.

Quarter offset

A subtle shift that softens the staircase effect.

Random

Each run of boards starts at a random position, with a guaranteed minimum stagger between neighbours.

45° diagonal

A straight grid rotated by 45 degrees.

Offset diagonal

A half-offset grid rotated by 45 degrees.

Herringbone

Perpendicular elongated pieces aligned with the walls.

45° herringbone

The same pattern pointing into the room.

Roman opus travertin

A repeating multi-size module calculated piece by piece.

Roman opus 4 sizes

A repeating multi-size module calculated piece by piece.

Roman opus 3 sizes

A repeating multi-size module calculated piece by piece.

Alternating bands 2 sizes

A repeating multi-size module calculated piece by piece.

Chevron, random opus and cabochon patterns are not available yet: tell us which one you need.

Surface area is not enough.

A square-metre figure does not show where cuts will land, how many tiles to buy or where to mark the first line.

Features

A real laying plan, not an estimate.

Millimetre-accurate geometry

Non-parallel walls, recesses, columns and openings: the area is a real polygon measured wall by wall, not an approximate rectangle.

Cuts calculated, not estimated

Every tile is actually clipped by the room boundary. The result never relies on dividing one surface area by another.

Narrow cuts highlighted

Tilelico flags cuts below your threshold, suggests a better distribution and shows the result before applying it.

Continuity between rooms

Living room, kitchen and hallway share one grid so grout lines continue naturally through thresholds.

Partitions and whole floors

Split a volume with a partition line. Wall thickness is removed from the covered area without shifting the grid.

Tile, wood and opus

Tile joints and wood expansion gaps are handled differently, while multi-size modules are counted size by size.

On site

Everything needed to start laying tomorrow.

Three practical documents turn a good-looking plan into a useful job-site tool.

Setting-out dimensions

Two offsets from a known corner, plus the repeating grid pitch.

Start from west wall288 mmStart from north wall291 mmGrid pitch603 × 603 mm

Without these dimensions, a layout remains a picture. Tilelico measures them from the calculated grid and reports the expected cut along each wall.

Cut sheet

Identical cuts grouped, labelled and sorted by quantity.

Prepare identical cuts together. Dimensions remain tied to the grid coordinate system, including diagonal patterns.

Yields are editable inputs, never hidden constants. The selected product data sheet remains the reference.

Job-site report

A PDF built for the job site.

Nine sections to set out, cut, order and brief the team.

Pro reports carry your logo, business details, client and job reference on the cover. Free reports carry a Tilelico watermark but contain the same calculations.

Frequently asked questions

Does Tilelico replace an on-site survey?

No. Tilelico prepares the layout from the dimensions you enter. Measurements taken on site and the manufacturer’s instructions remain the reference.

How is the tile quantity calculated?

From geometry: the real grid is clipped by the room outline and every source tile touched by a cut is counted. A simple area division is only a rough reference.

Do I need an account?

Not to try it: you can draw a room, compute the layout and see the complete result without an account. But nothing is saved that way — closing the tab discards the work. A free account keeps one project and restores it on any of your devices.

Is wood flooring calculated like tile?

No. Tile uses grout lines between pieces, while wood flooring uses expansion clearance around the perimeter and different offcut reuse rules.

Is the displayed waste guaranteed?

It describes the calculated grid. Tilelico can show potential offcut reuse, while the safer order quantity remains based on a conservative assumption.

Can I plan a whole floor?

Yes. Rooms can share one grid so the flooring continues across thresholds without grout-line breaks.
