How to Calculate Tile Adhesive Requirements

Knowing how much tile adhesive you need is crucial for a successful tiling project, whether you're laying bathroom wall tiles or installing large format floor tiles. Our tile adhesive calculator takes the guesswork out by giving you accurate estimates based on the surface area you're tiling.

Typical Adhesive Coverage Rates

Adhesive requirements vary depending on the tile size, surface, and trowel type. As a general guide:

  • Wall tiles: 3kg per m² (standard coverage)
  • Floor tiles: 4kg per m² (for full coverage using a 10mm trowel)
  • Uneven surfaces or large format tiles may require more
