\"How<\/a><\/h2>\n

Understandably, it’s a question we are asked a lot.\u00a0 Let’s look at some handy to know technical information to help with your calculations!<\/p>\n

In order to work out square metres (M2 for short), firstly measure the length and width of the space you are working with using metres and centimetres.<\/p>\n

Next you need to multiply the length and width to reach the area in square metres.<\/p>\n

Calculation for m2<\/h4>\n

For example:
\nWidth x Length: 3 x 3 = 9\u00a0M2
\n<\/strong>This is the total area.<\/p>\n

Calculating how many brick slips you require per m2<\/h2>\n

Brick slip tiles are sold per box.\u00a0 We have a multitude of different styles, textures and colours to choose from<\/a>.\u00a0 Regardless of the range, we sell the slips in the same box size.<\/p>\n

Each box contains 30 slips covering half a square metre (0.5m2)<\/p>\n

So for the above calculation, you would require 18 boxes.\u00a0 However, we always recommend that you add 10% for breakages and cuts<\/p>\n

Therefore 20 boxes<\/strong> would cover this area.<\/p>\n

Try before you buy!<\/h2>\n

Before you go ahead and order, why not look at a few samples.\u00a0 They are easy to order and delivery is around 3-5 days.\u00a0 Alternatively you can make a showroom appointment to view our range in store.<\/p>\n

We offer all our slips on sample boards, perfect for our customers to see the shape, colour and texture of the bricks.\u00a0 3 brick slips per board mean that you can see the colour variation in each batch.<\/p>\n
