Stone, Zellige and Parquet Quantities
Choose stone or marble slabs, zellige or parquet and enter the area. For stone and zellige, enter the piece size and the joint: PRAXAO gives the pieces to buy with the waste, the pieces per square metre with the joints, the adhesive and the grout. For parquet, enter the board size and the coverage of a pack: it gives the boards, the packs, the underlay with its overlaps and, with the perimeter, the skirting. Joints, consumptions, coverage and waste are starting values to replace with the maker’s data. The tool counts quantities: it does not check the substrate or the laying rules.

Frequently asked questions
Is the joint counted in the piece size?
Yes. Each piece takes its own size plus one joint on each axis, so the number of pieces per square metre accounts for the joints.
Why more waste for zellige or diagonal laying?
Cuts at the edges, breakage and diagonal laying use more material. Raise the waste in the form to match your layout.
Does it check the substrate?
No. The substrate, its flatness, the expansion gaps and the load of a stone floor come from the maker and the installer.
