Correct Measurements

To make calculations, you'll need figures. By taking measurements, you'll get the statistics you need to calculate the number of floor tiles you'll need in your Adelaide home. Your measurements determine the accuracy of your calculations.

What units of measurement are you using? First, you'll need to find out the square footage of all the rooms in your Adelaide home, or at least all the rooms you want to install tiles in.

Calculating the square footage of a room is easy; multiply the room's length by the width of the room. If the room size is 20 and the breadth is 16, it'll be 20 + 16 = 320 square feet.

Doing your measurements in feet is advisable, so the calculation is more effortless. However, when you measure in inches, you'll divide whatever measurements you get by 12 before you finally multiply to get your square footage.

Here are the different types of measurements you'll be taking:

• Vertical measurements: You'll measure the wall from top to bottom for wall projects in the kitchen or bathroom. Start your measurement from where you want the wall tiles to start. The same applies to floor tiles; measure the room's length you want the floor tiles to be installed in.

• Horizontal measurements: This measurement is from left to right and spans the breadth of the room you want them in. It applies to wall and floor tiles.

You'll use these measurements to get all your calculations; try to make them as accurate as possible.

The Number Of Tiles You'll Need

Tiles come in boxes; you'll need multiple tile boxes for your floor tiles. Let's say each tile box contains 12 square feet of tile. Using our former measurement of the 320 square feet of room, you'll divide the square foot of the room by the square feet of the tile boxes. So, for this room, you'll need at least 26 boxes.

Basic knowledge about calculating the number of floor tiles is okay; whoever you want to buy the tiles from will give you the accurate measurement.
