How many 600mm x 600mm slabs do you need to cover 55 sq meters?

Answer 1

You will need a minimum of 153 slabs. However, that answer assumes that the area to be covered is "well behaved" and that you are happy to use offcuts and chippings so that part of the area will look like a mosaic. If these conditions are not met, you should consider getting 5% extra slabs.

If, for example, the 55 sq metre area is in the form of a rectangle which is 550 mm wide and 100 metres long it may be easier to cover it using 167 trimmed slabs in a long line rather than use offcuts which are 5 mm wide.
