Great for walls and low-traffic floors. The glassy surface repels water and stains, making cleanup a breeze.
Ideal for high-traffic floors. Color runs through the entire tile, so chips are less noticeable—perfect for family bathrooms.
Excellent for shower floors and curved surfaces. The smaller format offers extra grout lines for slip resistance and easy contouring.
Trending in modern renovations. Fewer grout joints create a seamless look and faster maintenance, while CountBricks calculates special handling costs automatically.
1. Tile quality and size: Premium designer tile costs more per square foot and may require custom trim pieces.
2. Substrate condition: A flat, dry subfloor speeds up work; uneven or water-damaged substrates add leveling and repair charges.
3. Layout complexity: Diagonal or herringbone patterns increase labor time by 10–20%.
4. Waste allowance: CountBricks defaults to 10% waste, but intricate patterns may need 15%.
5. Accessories: Schluter edges, heated floors, and waterproof membranes all affect the final figure.
• Voice capture: Describe room dimensions, tile choice, and pattern while walking the site.
• AI parsing: Our engine converts spoken notes into measurable tasks—demo, prep, tile, grout, seal.
• Real-time pricing: We sync to regional supplier feeds every night, so materials reflect today’s market.
• Labor calibration: Crew rates adjust by ZIP code, travel time, and accessibility factors such as third-floor carry.
• Instant PDF: One tap produces a professional quote branded with your logo or “Powered by CountBricks.”
