How many 16 x 16 tiles to cover 10 square meters room?

Answer 1

Here is a quick step-by step:

Assuming that you are referring to a 16-inch tile: 1 inch = 2.54 cm

2.54cm x 16 = 40.64 cm

So, 1 tile = 40.64 x 40.64 cm = 1651.6 sq cm, or 0.16516 square meters

10 square meters / 0.1651 = 60.54 tiles

This would assume no waste of material. As a rule of thumb you could assume a 10% to 12% loss due to cut tiles.

Therefore:

60.54 tiles + 12% = 68 tiles, approximately.
