Tiles Calculation
For the tile Estimate calculation, The total number of tiles
needed to cover & area of room should be installed with a gap, grout line
between the two tiles make it a better appearance, the gap between the two
tiles is the range of 0.25inch to 0.5 inch
Grout is nothing but concrete or other material.
What are the sizes of flooring tiles?:
The size of tiles ranges between smaller to larger it comes
in the shape of square & rectangular but square tile is most popular &
is being widely used.
The size of tile may be (Inches)
- 8×8
- 10×10
- 12×12
- 16×16
- 24×24
We should use larger tiles having less grout line to make the smaller room look
larger.

Different types of flooring tiles
The classification of tiles includes
- stone
tiles - ceramic
tiles - porcelain
tiles - glass
tiles - Quarry
tiles
In the above-mentioned tiles, porcelain & ceramic tiles
are so costly & glass tiles may be break under pressure so it can be better
to use stone tiles like marble & Granite for the flooring site of any
room.
Procedure for flooring tiles calculation
(1) Take the measurement of one side of the room
(2) Take the measurement of another side of room
(3) Calculate the area of each room & add the total area
of room
(4) Calculate the area of 1 tile which are being used
(5) To get the number of tiles required for any room divide
the total area of room by area of one tile
(6) suppose the wastage of tiles is 5% add it in the total
numbers of tiles hence total numbers of tiles calculate in the flooring site.
Example for Tile calculation
-
For A1 room = 18’×16′ =288 sqft -
For A2 room = 16’×12′ = 192 sqft -
For A3 room = 16′ ×12′ = 192 sqft -
For A4 room = 18′ × 16′ = 288 sqft
Size of one tile= 24”×24” = 4 sqft
24″ = 2 feet
Total area of all room = 288 +192 +192 +288
Total area = 960 sqft
The total area of 1 tile = 4 sqft
Number of tile require = total area of room/ area of one
tile
Number of tile = 960 /4 = 240
Lat us consider 5% wastage of tile
Wastage tile = 240×5/100 =12
Hence total tiles require for flooring sites of the house
having for 4 room
Number of tiles
=240+12 =252 Ans.
