The Carpet Tile Count Estimator: Number of Carpet Tiles for Room with Squared Bump-out calculator computes the number of carpet tiles and the amount of adhesive needed to cover an area or room with a squared bump-out based on the area's dimensions and the size of the tiles specified.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (L) Area Length
- (W) Area Width
- (BW) Bump-out Width
- (BD) Bump-out Depth
- (TW) Tile Width
- (TL) Tile Length
- (SM) Safety Margin (percent added to estimate)
Tile Count (TC): The calculator returns the number of tiles required to cover the area. The calculator also returns:
- (A) Square Feet of Area
- (CA) Quarts of Carpet Tile Adhesive (Hi - Low Range)
The Math Science
This calculator computes the number of carpet tiles as follows:
- computing the total area of room with squared bump-out
- dividing the total area by the unit dimension of the selected tile.
- the safety margin factor is applied (default 10% to account for partial cuts and broken tiles)
- the number is rounded up
Adhesive Requirement
When not using self-adhesive tiles, Carpet Adhesive may be required. The Carpet Adhesive range is the low to high range of adhesive requirements for the area based on manufacturer recommendations that a quart of adhesive covers between 20 and 30 square feet per quart.
Common Carpet Tile Sizes
- 18 x 18
- 18 x 24
- 19 x 19

- 19.7 x 19.7
Carpet Tile Calculators:
- Number of Carpet Tiles (custom size) and Number of Carpet Tiles (standard size): These calculators estimates the number of carpet tiles needed for a rectangular area based on the area dimensions and the size of the tile (custom size or standard size). The calculators also returns the number of quarts of carpet tile adhesive needed for non-self adhesive carpet tiles.
- Number of Carpet Tiles for Room with Angled Bump-out and Number of Carpet Tiles for Room with Squared Bump-out
: These calculators estimate the number of carpet tiles needed for an area or room with a bump-out (angled bump-out or squared bump-out) based on the area dimensions and the size of the tile. The calculators also returns the number of quarts of carpet tile adhesive needed for non-self adhesive carpet tiles.
