How many 600mm x 600mm slabs do you need to cover 55 sq meters?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a happy little question! To cover 55 square meters with 600mm x 600mm slabs, you would need around 192 slabs. It's like painting a beautiful landscape - just measure twice and lay those slabs down gently, and you'll have a lovely space to enjoy!

Answer 2

To determine the number of 600mm x 600mm slabs needed to cover 55 sq meters, you first need to calculate the area of one slab. The area of a single 600mm x 600mm slab is 0.36 sq meters (0.6m x 0.6m = 0.36 sq m). To cover 55 sq meters, you would divide 55 by 0.36, which equals approximately 152.78. Therefore, you would need 153 slabs to cover 55 sq meters.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, let me break out my calculator for this riveting question. So, if we have 55 square meters to cover and each slab is 0.36 square meters (600mm x 600mm), you'd need around 152 slabs. But who's counting, right? Just buy a few extra and call it a day.

Answer 4

You will need a minimum of 153 slabs. However, that answer assumes that the area to be covered is "well behaved" and that you are happy to use offcuts and chippings so that part of the area will look like a mosaic. If these conditions are not met, you should consider getting 5% extra slabs.

If, for example, the 55 sq metre area is in the form of a rectangle which is 550 mm wide and 100 metres long it may be easier to cover it using 167 trimmed slabs in a long line rather than use offcuts which are 5 mm wide.
