Repair — business costly and there is a strong wish to avoid excess expenses. But also to face the shortage of materials happens extremely unpleasantly, in this case problems can arise insuperable. Material which you have bought insufficiently can unexpectedly disappear from sale and everything should be remade anew. To avoid similar situations, whenever possible precisely calculate quantity of all necessary. In particular it concerns tile.
It is required to you
- - tape measure;
- - level;
- - plumb;
- - rail;
- - calculator.
Instruction
1. Define what surface you are going to paste over. To calculate quantity of tile of PHV for floor, it is necessary to know room space. Measure its length and width and multiply. It is previously best of all to remove plinth.
2. Having come to shop, find out the tile sizes. It makes sense to take just in case ruler and to measure sample. The sizes have to be written on the price tag and in the supporting documentation, but happens differently. It is necessary to face square tile most often, it is enough to measure one of the parties. Square it and receive thus the area of one tile.
3. Separate surface area into the area of one tile. Thus, you learn how many tiles are necessary for you to cover any given surface. It can turn out so that the number will turn out fractional. Round up it to the next integer. The tile of PHV is very easily cut therefore nothing terrible happens if in one of ranks it is necessary to stack not the whole tiles, but halves or even chetvertushka.
4. The quantity of ceramic tile for floor (for example, in the bathroom) pays off likewise. Floor usually represents rather plain surface therefore problems with measurements in this case do not arise. If you have to cover with ceramic tile wall, at first prepare surface.
5. Level wall. Define surface where you will paste tile. Draw 2 vertical lines on wall. It is the most convenient to make it by means of plumb. These lines will be useful to you not only for calculations, but also actually for repair therefore make it qualitatively. At the necessary height draw horizontal line.
6. Measure height and width of future surface and multiply the sizes. Act just as in case with PHV tile further. Find 10% of the received result and add on to total if you are going to stack tile directly. For laying at an angle the stock has to be more, 15%. Add couple more of percent on the fact that how many and that tiles can break.
7. To define how many packings of tile are necessary for you, learn how many pieces are in one pack. Separate total number of tile necessary for you into this number. Round up result to the next integer.
