In this civil engineering article, you will learn how to calculate tiles required for a floor and wall in a house.
A tile stands for a thin substance normally available in square or rectangular shape. A tile belongs to a manufactured piece of hard - wearing material like ceramic, stone metal, baked clay or even glass. The tile is normally utilized for casing roofs , floors , walls or other objects. As per construction requirements, different sizes and shapes of the tiles are found.
In this article, you will learn how to work out the quantities of tiles in floor and wall areas.
Wall Area: The calculation is done based on the following dimensions -
Size of the bathroom is taken as 7 x 6 feet Height of the bathroom is taken as 9 feet The size of each tile is assumed as 30 x 30 cm The size of the door is taken as 3 x 7 feet
The following formula is used for the calculation :- Wall Area / Area of tiles
Therefore, it is required to work out the area of wall initially as follow :- Area of wall = Length x Height Total length of the walls = (7 x 2) + (6 x 2) = 14 + 12 = 26 feet [for both side walls] Area of wall = Total length of walls x Height of the wall = 26 x 9 = 234 sq.ft
Method of Concrete Slump Test:
Area of the door = 3 x 7 = 21 sq.ft Total wall area = Wall area – door area = 234 – 21 = 213 sq.ft Area of one tile = 30 x 60 = 1800 cm2 After converting the measuring unit to square feet, we get 1800/1000 = 1.8 sq.ft So, the number of tiles = Total wall area /area of each tile = 213/1.8 = 118 So, the numbers of tiles necessary for the bath room = 118
Floor Area Suppose, the size of the floor = 11 x 10 = 110 sq.ft Size of each floor tile = 60 x 60 cm = 3600 cm2 = 3.6 sq.ft (after converting to sq.ft) So, the numbers of tiles required = Floor Area / Area of each tile = 110 / 3.6 = 30.5 tiles = 31 tiles
Therefore, total numbers of tiles required = 31 numbers
