Question

How to calculate the tiles measurement in computer?

Answer 1

Buying ceramic tile for floors requires measuring and math. Estimate how many ceramic tiles to buy by calculating the total floor area you plan to cover and dividing that number by the size of one tile. Ceramic floor tiles typically come in 4-, 6-, 9-, 12-, and 18-inch squares.

1. Determine the square footage of the room (don’t forget the closets!); just multiply the room’s length by its width.

[Length of Floor] x [Width of Floor] = Total Area.

Choose your tile size from the following list and use the accompanying equation to figure out the number of tiles to buy:

4-inch tiles:

Total Area ÷ 0.1089 = Number of 4″ tiles needed

6-inch tiles:

Total Area ÷ 0.25 = Number of 6″ tiles needed

9-inch tiles:

Total Area ÷ 0.5625 = Number of 9″ tiles needed

12-inch tiles:

Total Area = Number of 12″ tiles needed (You’ve measured your room in square feet, and a 12-inch tile is 1 square foot)

18-inch tiles:

Total Area ÷ 2.25 = Number of 18″ tiles needed
