Calculating how many tiles in a room
· 12"X12" is DUH 144 sq inches & 1 sq foot
· so multiply any tile size by its 2 dimensions ie 12X12 or 16X16 & that = the sq ft per tile.
· 13"X13" is 169 sq inches divided by 144 sq inches in a sq foot =1.174 per tile
· 18"X18" is 324 sq inches per tile divided by 144 sq inches per sq ft= 2.25 sq ft per tile
· 20"x20" tiles are 2.778 per tile
· 24X24 tiles are 4 sq ft per tile
Formula would look like this
(Tile L"x W"= sq inches)divided by 144 sq inches=sq ft per tile) room area divided by sq ft per tile= how many tiles
Soooo once you know the sq feet you need, add a little for waste & breakage & ooops cuts & you will have enough..
6' x 9' (54 square feet) = 6 square yards of tiles needed.
56 16x16" tiles are needed.
240 square tiles are needed
22.2 tiles so buy 23 tiles.
Floor area = 12 ft x 18 ft = 216 square feet. There are 4 six-inch square tiles needed for each square foot, so 864 tiles are needed.
5,184 2-square-inch tiles are needed.
236 18-inch tiles.
Four tiles are needed.
157 18 by 18 tiles are needed to cover 352 square feet.
266.666666666 so rounding up 267 tiles.
If the tiles are 12 inches square... 8352 tiles ! However if they're 12 feet square... 58 tiles
18..
