Frequently Asked Questions
Why add 10% to 15% waste margin for tiles and flooring?
Tiles and planks must be cut to fit along walls, corners, pipes, and obstacles. Damaged cuts and pattern matching require this safety buffer.
Should I keep extra leftover tiles?
Yes! Always keep 1-2 spare boxes for future repairs if a tile cracks or plumbing repairs require removing sections.
