How to calculate tile for kitchen

Have you decided to make wall decoration of kitchen ceramics and do not know what to begin with? First of all it is necessary to calculate tile for kitchen. As facing works demand high-class accuracy, it is necessary to adhere to technological process attentively.

It is required to you

  • — water level and if it is absent near at hand, then it is possible to use normal construction level;
  • — tape measure;
  • — pencil.

Instruction

1. First of all exempt the room from all superfluous. It is desirable to remove everything from walls, including regiments, pictures and another.

2. Check bathroom corners for compliance to vertical level. In case of verticality deviation on 0.5-1.0 cm on each meter of height, you will need preliminary alignment of walls. Therefore in such corners draw pencil vertical lines from floor to ceiling.

3. You carry out calculation of quantity of tiles for each wall separately. For this purpose measure distance from corner to corner on one wall across.

4. After that measure width of tile and add to it 2 (in case of use of cross limiters for seams 2 mm wide) or 3 mm.

5. Separate distance from corner to corner, on wall, into tile width, taking into account seam. Pay attention to the rest. If the rest more than 0.5, then it is possible to separate it in half and the received distance will be space distance from wall corner for gluing of the first tile. If the rest less than 0.5, then it is possible to begin to glue tile from the corner. In case you have absolutely small rest, then add unit and separate into two, and from integer among remove one tile. Now you know how many tile it is required on one row, taking into account cut pieces.

6. To find out quantity of horizontal rows of tiles on one wall, it is required to measure room height from floor and to separate this distance into height of one tile taking into account seam, in this case the face value of the rest will specify to you space distance from floor.

7. Multiply the obtained data, not including the remains. At you the quantity of the whole tiles on one wall has turned out. In case of calculation of tiles on wall with aperture, consider distance from corner to aperture, being guided by the principle described above.

8. After calculation of quantity of the whole tiles on each wall put all data together and receive the general purely tiles.

9. You carry out calculation of cut tiles separately, taking in attention possibility of cutting of tile on two parts with use of each of them for gluing.
