Optimize tile layouts, minimize cuts and waste, and deliver stunning patterns with AI built for tile contractors.
Specialized Solution: Pattern & Cut Optimization AI
AI analyzes room geometry and tile dimensions to calculate the optimal starting point, layout direction, and cut pattern that minimizes waste and avoids small sliver cuts at edges — producing professional results with less material.

The Problem in Tile
These are the challenges AI solves for tile contractors every day.
Tile waste from bad layouts adds up across every job
Starting a tile layout in the wrong position creates thin cuts at walls and wastes expensive material. AI calculates the optimal starting point and direction that minimizes cuts and maximizes full tiles.
Complex mosaic and pattern layouts take hours to plan
Intricate tile patterns require careful planning to ensure symmetry and proper alignment. AI generates precise layout maps for any pattern, including mosaics, borders, and mixed-format designs.
Estimating tile quantities for irregular spaces is error-prone
Bathrooms, showers, and niches have complex geometry that makes manual quantity calculations unreliable. AI accounts for every cut, bullnose piece, and trim tile to produce accurate material lists.

Frequently Asked Questions: AI for Tile
Answers to the most common questions about AI in the tile trade.
How does AI optimize tile layouts?
AI analyzes room dimensions, tile sizes, and grout joint widths to calculate the starting position and layout direction that produces the most balanced appearance with minimal waste. It ensures no wall edge gets a sliver cut and that the pattern is symmetrical in focal areas.
Can AI reduce tile waste on jobs?
Yes. By optimizing layout starting points and cut patterns, AI reduces tile waste by approximately 8% compared to standard estimation methods. On jobs using expensive porcelain or natural stone, this translates to significant material cost savings.
How does AI handle complex tile patterns?
AI pattern engines support running bond, herringbone, basketweave, pinwheel, mixed-format, and custom mosaic patterns. They calculate exact piece counts for each tile size in the pattern and generate installation maps showing where every piece goes.
Can AI help tile contractors with shower and bathroom layouts?
Yes. AI handles the complex geometry of showers, tub surrounds, and niches, accounting for waterproofing details, bullnose pieces, shelf tiles, and transitions. It generates material lists that include every trim piece and accessory.
What is the ROI of AI for tile contractors?
Tile contractors using AI report 8% less material waste, 60% faster layout planning, and fewer callbacks from layout symmetry issues. Monthly savings range from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on the value of tile materials and project volume.
