How to use it
- Enter wall length in feet.
- Enter wall height in feet.
- Click the Calculate button.
- Read the units needed and total area.
This calculator tells you exactly how many 16" × 8" pavers you need to cover a wall or floor of any size. You enter the length and height of the surface in feet, and the tool converts those dimensions to square footage, then divides by the 0.89 sq ft area of a single paver. The result shows the total units required and the total area you’ll cover. Knowing the precise count helps you budget, avoid over‑ordering, and keep the project on schedule. Read the “Units needed” number as the exact paver quantity; the “Area” line confirms the square footage you entered. No extra waste or mortar gap is added, so you can add your own contingency if desired. You can also copy the result to a spreadsheet for ordering or share it with your contractor.
Pro tips
- Add 5‑10% extra for breakage or cuts.
- Always round up to the next whole paver.
- Order a full pallet to reduce shipping costs.
- Double‑check measurements; a common mistake is mixing feet and inches.
