How can I figure out how much grout I will need for my project?

This is quite simple. Laticrete provides a coverage calculator on their website. All you need is to figure out which grout product you want to use, the tile size (both dimensions and thickness), as well as the joint width and plug this information into their Project Estimator.

The best grout for your project depends on more than just color — it depends on the environment, tile type, joint size, and durability requirements. LATICRETE offers one of the most comprehensive grout product lines in the industry, and whether you’re a contractor tackling commercial work or a homeowner upgrading a bathroom, there’s a product that fits your needs.
