Q4: Should I measure the area before or after installation?
A: Measure the actual floor area to be tiled before installation for accurate calculations.
Q5: Can I use this for different room shapes?
A: Yes, as long as you accurately calculate the total area in square feet, the calculator will work for any shape.
