How do I measure for square footage in my kitchen or entry way. Also, how do I measure for trim or border pieces?
It’s simple. To find the square footage of any room or wall, just multiply length X width. If the area is small, like kitchen backsplashes multiply length X width in inches and divide by 144 (the number of square inches in a square foot.) This will give you square footage. Remember to subtract for areas that are not going to be tiled (doorways, windows etc.) Trim pieces, borders and liners are measured in a straight run of inches or feet. Just divide the total length by the length of the trim, border or liner piece. If you are unsure, a Tile Source Associate can assist you.
