Marble Calculator: Tiles, Slabs, Weight and Containers
Work out how much marble or granite to order for a floor or wall: square metres with waste, number of tiles, weight and containers.
Your estimate
- Area to order (incl. waste)
- 110 m² (1,184 ft²)
- Number of tiles
- 306
- Weight per m²
- 52 kg
- Approximate weight
- 5.7 t
- 20 ft containers
- 1
Estimates only. Weight uses a typical density of 2.6 t/m³ and the container load you entered; actual limits depend on the stone and the destination. See how to import marble from Egypt and packing and shipping.
Frequently asked questions
How much extra marble should I order for waste?
Around 10% covers cutting and breakage on a straight-laid floor. Diagonal or herringbone patterns, small rooms with many cuts and stairs need more, and it is wise to keep a few spare pieces from the same batch for future repairs.
How heavy is marble per square metre?
Weight is area x thickness x density. With a typical density of about 2.6 t/m³ for Egyptian marble, 1 m² at 2 cm weighs roughly 52 kg and at 3 cm roughly 78 kg. Granite is slightly heavier.
How much stone fits in a 20 ft container?
Stone fills a container by weight, not volume. Shippers commonly load about 24 to 26 tonnes per 20 ft container depending on destination road limits, so the calculator uses 24 t as a conservative figure.
