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
Tile is a good conductor, which is exactly why an unheated tile floor feels cold and a heated one feels better than almost anything else underfoot. The cable is set in self-levelling compound so it is fully encased and the surface above it is dead flat.
The detail most people notice afterwards is the threshold. A flush metal transition between tile and engineered oak keeps the two floors at the same height, so there is no lip to catch and no strip standing proud of either surface.
