Calculation method

Calculation method

Internal joint length (m)

Internal joint lines=(ceil(L/pL)-1)H+(ceil(H/pH)-1)L; perimeter=2(L+H).

Perimeter joint length (m)

Internal joint lines=(ceil(L/pL)-1)H+(ceil(H/pH)-1)L; perimeter=2(L+H).

Total joint length including perimeters (m)

Internal joint lines=(ceil(L/pL)-1)H+(ceil(H/pH)-1)L; perimeter=2(L+H).

Symbols and units
a
Panel length (m)
b
Panel height (m)
c
Tile pitch along length (m)
d

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Rectangular edge-cut grid; shared panel edges counted separately unless removed by user. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Rectangular edge-cut grid; shared panel edges counted separately unless removed by user.
