One unit of every priced item, which is a floor rather than an estimate — a real room needs more than one box of tile.
Why it was specified this way
Book-matching means two adjacent slabs are cut from the same block and opened like a book, so the veining mirrors across the seam. It only works if the layout is set before anything is fixed, and if the centre joint lands where the room wants it rather than where the tile happens to run out.
Honed marble is softer than porcelain in both look and behaviour. It wants sealing before grouting and a grout that will not stain the stone, which is why the sealer is part of the specification rather than an afterthought.
