Floor Tiles Ceramic tiles are generally based on clay and other additives formed and burned at high temperatures resulting in a hard and brittle shape. Here's how to calculate the need for ceramic tiles for the floor or wall of your house.
Stage 1 After you have selected the desired motif or design, pay attention to the number of ceramic tiles and the size present in units of the box. For ceramic tiles the number and size in units of box as follows:SizeNumber of tiles/boxesSize m2/box20 x 2025 pcs1.00m230 x 3011 pcs1.08m240 x 406 pcs0.96m250 x 504 pcs1.44m2
Stage 2 Length x Width Calculate the floor surface area of the room to which ceramic tiles will be installed.
Example: Floor: 3m x 4m=12m2
Stage 3 Floor surface area : size m2/box Calculate the number of ceramic tiles needed in units of the box by calculating the floor surface area of the room where ceramic tiles will be installed divided by the size of the m2 / box.
Example: Floor surface area: 3m x 4m = 12m2 Size m2/box: 1.44m2 Ceramic tile required: 12m2 : 1.44m2 = 8.3 boxes rounded up to 9 boxes
Stage 4 Also take into account the volume of plin/skirting material needs. Plin is a granite that is used as a list to show a clear boundary between the floor and the wall or between one granite and the other granite. Similar to granite tiles, plint also has various types of sizes but is calculated in units per piece. SizeNumber of tiles/boxes10 x 301 pcs10 x 401 pcs10 x 601 pcs10 x 801 pcs10 x 1001 pcs
Room Size : Plint Length Size Example: Room Size: 3m x 4m = 12m2 Plint size used: 10 x 30 Plint required: 12m2 : 0.3m = 40 pcs
Stage 5 To anticipate the presence of broken or damaged products and the need for additional ceramic tile pieces for the sides / corners of the room, provide additional calculations or waste of: • 6% for the calculation of area below 10 boxes • 3% for the calculation of area above 5 boxes
And also add a reserve volume of about 5% (optional) for inventory if in the future there will be cases that require replacing ceramic tiles with the same type and shading code so that they do not become striped if the installed ceramic tiles break. The burning process in the ceramic tile production process will produce different shades of colors or shades even with the same type of product, therefore this inventory becomes important in order to facilitate the process of finding and replacing suitable products with pre-installed products.
