UncategorizedHow to Measure the Area for Tiles and Calculate the Required Quantity

Measuring the area accurately to match the tile size is crucial for cost-efficiency and ensuring tiles are laid out neatly and appropriately. Here’s a guide for measuring the area and calculating the quantity of tiles needed for both floor and wall tiles, considering the available tile sizes: 20×120 cm, 30×60 cm, 60×60 cm, 80×80 cm, 60×120 cm, and 75×150 cm.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Measuring the Area

  1. Gather Necessary Tools:
  • Measuring tape or ruler
  • Notebook and pencil for recording measurements

2. Measure Dimensions:

  • For the floor: Measure the length and width of the entire area and record in centimeters or meters.
  • For the wall: Measure the height and width of the wall and record.

3. Calculate the Total Area (Square Meters):

  • Floor: Calculate the area by multiplying the length by the width.
  • Wall: Calculate the area by multiplying the height by the width.

Example Calculation

Assuming you need to tile a floor area measuring 300 centimeters (3 meters) by 400 centimeters (4 meters):

  • Area = Length x Width
  • Area = 3 meters x 4 meters = 12 square meters

Calculating the Number of Tiles Required

For the various tile sizes (measured in centimeters), calculate the required quantity as follows:

  1. Convert Tile Dimensions to Square Meters:
  • Tiles 20 x 120 cm = 0.2 x 1.2 = 0.24 sq. meters per tile
  • Tiles 30 x 60 cm = 0.3 x 0.6 = 0.18 sq. meters per tile
  • Tiles 60 x 60 cm = 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.36 sq. meters per tile
  • Tiles 80 x 80 cm = 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.64 sq. meters per tile
  • Tiles 60 x 120 cm = 0.6 x 1.2 = 0.72 sq. meters per tile
  • Tiles 75 x 150 cm = 0.75 x 1.5 = 1.125 sq. meters per tile

2 . Calculate the Number of Tiles Needed:

  • Number of tiles = Total area / Area per tile
  • Add extra 10% – 15% to account for cutting or breakage.

For example, calculating for 60×60 cm tiles for a 12 square meter area:

  • Number of tiles needed = 12 sq. meters / 0.36 sq. meters per tile ≈ 33.33 tiles
  • Adding 10% extra: 33.33 tiles x 1.10 (10% extra) ≈ 37 tiles

Example Calculations for Other Tile Sizes

For 20×120 cm tiles:

  • Number of tiles needed = 12 sq. meters / 0.24 sq. meters per tile ≈ 50 tiles
  • Adding 10% extra: 50 tiles x 1.10 ≈ 55 tiles

Important Considerations:

  • Double-check your measurements and calculations to ensure accuracy.
  • Consider the design and color compatibility of the tiles.
  • Order extra tiles to avoid shortages, especially for future repairs or additions.

By accurately measuring the area and calculating the number of tiles required, you can ensure a smooth installation process and efficient use of resources.
