Divide your total area by 2.38 and add 5–10% for edge cuts and waste. For example, a 10’ x 10’ space needs approximately 43 tiles (100 sqft ÷ 2.38 = 42.0, round up). Use our tile estimator: measure length × width in feet, divide by 2.38, add 5% overage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I mix 18” and 24” tiles in the same floor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the interlocking edges on 18” tiles are sized for 18” tiles and won’t connect with the 24” tile edge profile. However, you can butt the two formats up against each other as a border treatment or use them in separate zones of the same facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs 1\/4\" thick enough for a treadmill?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — for most home treadmills and ellipticals, 6mm provides adequate vibration damping and floor protection.

For outdoor use, the loose-lay installation means water can flow under tiles; periodic cleaning is recommended. Heavy rainfall areas may benefit from using the tiles with slight spacing to allow drainage rather than fully interlocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat’s the price per square foot?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack tiles run $1.55\/sqft ($3.69 ÷ 2.38 sqft).
