How to Plan Your Tile Project
- Measure your space. First, multiply length × width for each wall or floor area to get square footage.
- Add overage. Next, plan on roughly 10% extra for cuts and breakage — 15% or more for diagonal or herringbone layouts.
- Buy it all at once. Many of our tiles are closeouts and special buys, so buying your full quantity up front keeps your dye lot consistent. Learn more about tile types from the Tile Council of North America.
- Grab your supplies. Finally, thinset, grout, trim, and Schluter edging are in stock at both stores.

Tile — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have tile in stock in Louisville, KY?
Yes. Builders Surplus stocks backsplash, wall, mosaic, porcelain, and floor tile at our Louisville store on Poplar Level Road and our Florence, KY store. Most tile is ready to take home the same day. Selection varies by store, so call ahead to confirm quantities.
How much cheaper is tile at Builders Surplus?
We buy overstock, closeouts, and special purchases, so our tile is typically priced 40–60% below big-box stores for comparable products.
What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?
Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water than ceramic, making it the better choice for floors, showers, and high-traffic areas. On the other hand, ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, and works well for walls and backsplashes.
How much extra tile should I buy?
Plan on about 10% extra for cuts and breakage, and 15% or more for diagonal or herringbone patterns. Also, because many of our tiles are limited-quantity buys, it is best to purchase your full quantity at once.
Do you sell tile installation supplies?
Yes. We carry thinset and mortar, premixed grout, Schluter systems, and tile edging and trim at both stores.
Do you offer financing on tile?
Yes. Low- and no-interest financing is available for qualified buyers. Ask either store for details.
