Tip # 2 - Purchasing your Bathroom Tile Design
After you've selected your bathroom tile designs and are ready to buy it's important that you buy the right amount of trim and field tile the first time. You don't want to risk the store not having your same tile designs if you need to go back for more. Bathroom tiles are usually packaged in cartons that contain 20 square feet. The trim is often times sold by the linear foot or by the piece. Measure your selected area a few times to be SURE you get the quantity need correct.
I recommend that you bring your measurements and a drawing or blueprint of the bathroom with you to the tile dealer. The salesperson should be able to use that information to help you buy the right amount. If on the other hand, you are using a professional, have them go to the store and purchase the tiles themselves to avoid any confrontation if things are purchased correctly the first time.
I also advise that you buy 5-10% more than you need. Tiles do break and cuts do go wrong during installation. Also, it's nice to have extra tiles on hand in the event that a tile breaks or gets damaged in the years to come. If this is your first installation project get even more.
