Calculate your pieces
Enter the length and width, or the total area, to see how many pieces you need.
How the calculator works
It uses the same two steps for every design:
- Pieces for the area = area in square feet × pieces per square foot.
- Spares = 5% of those pieces, rounded up to a whole piece.
The number to order is the two added together, so it is always more than the area strictly needs. The spares cover pieces cut at edges and corners, any that break, and repairs later on with pieces from the same batch. The pieces per square foot for each design are listed in our coverage chart.
How to measure your area
| Shape | How to work out the area |
|---|---|
| Rectangle or square | Length × width |
| L-shape | Split it into two rectangles, work out each, and add them |
| Triangle | Base × height ÷ 2 |
| Circle | 3.14 × radius × radius |
- Measure in feet. If you measured in metres, multiply square metres by 10.76 to get square feet.
- For walls, measure the height and width of the wall and subtract doors and windows.
- Round up, not down: running short holds up the job, and a later batch can differ slightly in colour.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate how many pavers I need?
Multiply your area in square feet by the pieces per square foot for your design, then add spares: 5% of the pieces, rounded up. The calculator on this page does this for every design we make.
Why order more pieces than the area needs?
Some pieces are cut to fit at edges and corners, a few can break, and spares from the same batch let you repair the surface later in a matching colour. That is why the calculator always adds 5% more pieces, rounded up. Areas with curves or an angled pattern may need a few more.
How do I measure an L-shaped or irregular area?
Split it into rectangles, measure the length and width of each, multiply them, and add the results together. Enter the total as your area.
Is the calculator result exact?
It is a close estimate. We confirm the exact quantity when we measure the area on a free site inspection.
