             How to Calculate Tiles in Floor 

Tiles Flooring Calculation

Normally,

We calculate the tile flooring area in order to find the required number of the tiles for a given room, we have explained with an example.

Normally,

  

       The flooring is measured in Square meters and Square foot. 

Tiles Flooring Calculation :-

Tiles Flooring Calculation

• First, multiply the length and breadth of room to get the area

Total Room Floor Area = (1.2 x 1.2) + (1.2 x 2.4) m

                                     = 1.44 +  2.88 m

                      = 4.32 m2

• Second, calculate the total length of the room, to find skirting tiles requirement,

From the above image, we can find the total length

Total length of the room = (2.4+1.2+1.2+1.2+2.4) – Door Width assume 0.9 x 2.1

                                         = 8.4 m – 0.9 m

                                         = 7.5 m

We have assumed 0.100 m as skirting tiles height.

Skirting Tiles area= Total length of the room × Skirting Tile height

                             = 7.1 m × 0.100 m

                             = 0.71 m²

Total Area = Total Floor Area + Skirting Tiles area

                  = 6 m²  + 0.71 m²

                  = 6.71 m²

·         Third, calculate the area of one tile

               

                         Here We are going to use 0.6 m × 0.6 m 

(600 mm × 600 mm) tiles,

                     

                     Area of one tile = 0.6 m × 0.6 m

                                            = 0.36 m²

·         Finally, the total number of tiles required for the above room

Number of Tiles required = (Total Area  / Area of one tile) × Wastage*

                                         = (4.32 m² / 0.36 m2) × 10%

                                         = 12  + 1.2 (say 2)

 Number of Tiles required in room is = 14 nos.
