To calculation of tile it is necessary to approach as important action. If beforehand to estimate amount of materials, you will manage to avoid repeated visit to hardware store, thereby you will save yourself from unnecessary overpayments for excess tile. To calculate tile, it is necessary to know some nuances.
Instruction
1. So, the tiled (ceramic) tile represents squared ceramic plates which differ by the sizes, thickness, covering and processing. Such tile can be used not only for covering of walls or floor, but even ceiling.
2. To calculate the necessary quantity of tile, it is possible to use several methods. For example, for calculation of floor covering, you have to have data on room space and the sizes of the tile preferred by you.
3. Let's assume, you have decided to decorate the room (bathroom) 3 m in size², at the same time the size of tiled plate is 30*30 cm. Now it is necessary to calculate the area of one tile, for this purpose it is necessary: 0.3*03 also receive 0.09 m, then calculate quantity of tile for your room, in this case the formula is simple: 3:0.09=33.33 also round these data to integer, the necessary quantity of tile, namely 34 pieces has turned out.
4. If you need to calculate tile for wall, then measure the room height, length of its walls on perimeter, and decide on the tile sizes.
5. Now it is necessary to summarize length of walls in running meters to define room perimeter. Separate value which has turned out into width of the tile chosen by you and round result. Now separate height of walls into length of necessary sample, and again round to whole. Multiply the obtained data.
6. Do not forget to make the correction on windows, doors or other design elements which you are not going to cover with tile, for this purpose it is necessary to calculate their area. After that transfer quantity of tile to square meters, for this purpose it is necessary to increase quantity of tile by the area of one plate, and already subtract the area of windows, doors from this received value and so forth. For example, to calculate length of borders, calculate perimeter in running meters, and separate into width of tile which you have chosen.
7. Of course, it is necessary to count tile stock. And it depends on laying method. If you have decided to stack diagonalno, then its expense is maximum and will make 10-15% of total number of tile. If you stack tile directly, then consider stock not less than 5%.
