About this calculator
The tile area calculator for pools determines the total surface area of tiles needed to cover a rectangular pool. It uses the pool's length, width, and depth measurements, summing the areas of the sides and the bottom according to the formula A = 2(c + l)·h + c·l.
The calculation splits into two parts: the sides (2(c + l)·h) and the bottom (c·l). The sides account for twice the area of the length and width multiplied by the height (average depth). The bottom is the product of length and width. The top surface is excluded, as it's typically not tiled.
Use this tool when planning a new pool or renovating an existing one. Ensure exact dimension measurements and consider elements like steps that may alter geometry. The result helps estimate tile quantity, cement, and labor requirements.
Note: This calculator assumes a rectangular pool shape and doesn't include common loss areas (joints, cuts). For circular or oval pools, use a specific formula. Always consult a professional for technical adjustments or complex geometries.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't the formula include the pool's top surface?
The top surface is typically not tiled, only the sides and bottom. The formula focuses on effectively covered areas.
How to measure pool depth?
Use the average depth, calculated as the mean between the edge and the deepest point if the pool slopes.
Does the calculator work for pools with steps?
No, steps alter the geometry. Use a specific tool or consult a professional for adjustments.
Should I include tile gaps (joints)?
The calculator doesn't account for gaps. Add 10-15% extra to the result to cover losses and cuts.
