How to calculate the tiles on the bathroom

Cleared and leveled the walls, primed and prepared the necessary amount of glue, grout, and even the tiles have already chosen. And how to tile a room? How to calculate how much to curb (frieze), the decor, dark tiles on the wall, how much light and outdoor? In fact, nothing complicated, you only need to correctly measure the room and recall some mathematical calculations. Variants of calculations may be different, depending on the mathematical knowledge and ingenuity, in this example, the easiest way to calculate the tile. For calculations, we take the example of a standard bathroom on the perimeter of 1,7 m x 1,7 m, height 2,7 m, with a doorway 0.7 x2, 0 meters Perhaps an example will not specify the additional protrusions and recesses in the walls, we believe only smooth wall in the simplest matimaticheskoy puzzles. And choose a collection of tiles, where the size of one tile is 20x30 cm Also in the collection we have the decorative elements in the size of the tiles, borders horizontal 8h20, pencils 1.5 x20 and floor tiles measuring 33.3 h33, 3. We present a collection in my room like: ceramic floor tile in one color on the wall of the bottom few rows of dark tiles, a number of border are finished at the top and bottom two rows of decorative pencil, then higher up to the ceiling light with a built-tile decorative elements in the tile size. To make it easier to take no more than draw a plan of the room, check the dimensions of all walls, door opening and the other planes of interest, which must be calculated. So draw up a list of accessories collections for the calculations: 1. Tile mural dark 2. Tile wall light 3. Tile floor 4. Decor 5. Border 6. Pencil start counting Simply start with the floor tiles. You can simply count the total area of ??1.7 * 1.7 = 2.89 m2, roughly rounded up to 3 m / sq, prevodim in pieces - get 27 pcs. But true and accurate would be to count on the tiles. The size of the floor we have a tile 1.7h1.7 0.333h0.333 Divide the width of the floor to the tile size 1.7 / 0.333 = 5.1 rounded is always a big side, fold the whole or half (half can also be used in the next row). Subtotal in row now we have 5.5 bars in the horizontal and the same vertical. In this case: 5.5 * 5.5 = 30.25 Rounds, obtained the total number of 31 pieces. As a result, we see that the amount differs from the first result that we obtained by counting the floor area in meters. Mistake turned into a difference of four tiles, because of which would once again go to the store. Why get the difference and why the tiles were missing in the first calculation? almost always turns out that the length of the series is not a multiple of the length of the tiles, and, consequently, it will have to cut, ledges and niches in the walls, faucets, sinks in the bathroom and so on, also create the need to cut the tiles; So, the first result is obtained - for floor coverings, we need 31 pieces of floor tiles measuring 33.3 h33, 3, see Write. From the practice on the calculation of floor tiles already have experience and knowledge of the multiplicity and cutting ceramic tile - is useful in the calculation of wall tiles. We believe the wall will be lined with wall tiles, decor, borders and pencils. Since all these components have the same width 20cm. Hence we divide the width of each plane (wall) on the tile size. Since we have all the walls are the same size - it will be easier. 1.7 / 0.2 = 8.5 pc The result is a multiple of half, so it suits us. A total Number of turns 8.5 * 4 (wall) = 34sht the overall perimeter. The only thing that we must also take into account - one of the walls has a doorway width of 0.7 m, which must be subtracted from the total perimeter, only to leave in the memory area above the door, which we must be obiltsevat tiles. O.7 m aperture is obtained by 3.5 pc in this case is rounded down, because in the calculation of the tiles is better to have a small margin, than not enough. of 34sht perimeter deducted 3pc by the doorway, a total of 31 pieces is obtained in width. After that, everything is easier. A number of curb along the perimeter and get 31sht. Write. Pencil, we will have two series - the top and bottom border, for a total 62sht. Write. Dark tiles, which will have lower border is best put in three rows. It has a height of 30cm, three rows are obtained by 90 cm - optimum total height. Bathtub itself is 60cm, it turns over it will be a series of dark tiles, which is also optimal. Means to identify - three rows of dark tiles. Three series multiplied by 31 (number of tiles in width) - get 93 tiles. record. We believe the bright tiles. It will have vykleena from the curb with a pencil to the ceiling, occupying the main area of ??the bathroom. Room height 2.7m. Dark tile is 90cm from the floor, plus the border with pencils 11cm, total overall height of 1.1 m subtracted from the total height of the bathroom is the height of the busy area The calculated dark tiling and decoration. 2.7 - 1.1 = 1.69 m Now 1.69 divided by the height of one tile. 1.69 / 0.3 = 5.63 pc Here we recommend round downward, at least for a half, at least one multiple tiles. Why? Surely you will have a beautiful modern ceiling, which can be lowered to any height by means of suspension. So you can even save a number of other tiles, unless you want to leave a high ceiling. This is a matter of taste and individual solutions for each. But in our case, let's round Number of bright tiles in height to 5.5 units. Now consider the height of 5.5 to multiply by 31 in width. 5.5 * 31 = 170.5 = 171 units (rounded) Do not forget about the space above the door, which keeps in mind. A subtracted from the total perimeter then three tiles wide. A high turns 2.7 - 2 = 0.7 m 0.7 m / 0.3 = 2.33333 = 2.5 2.5 in height multiplied by 3 in width, a total of 7.5 = 8 tiles. Total Number of light-tiles get 171 + 8 = 179 pcs. Write. Remained decors. Vykleivayut and place them around the room to the taste and discretion. One by one on each wall, you two. Possible through the tile and can be in a checkerboard pattern. In our case, we take them just five pieces. Write. It seemed it would be appropriate to deduct from the total amount of light tiles five pieces, instead of which stand decors. But it is recommended to leave them because Number is not great, for a total cost of collection will not be affected much. And in the process some of the tiles can be damaged, and some tiles are best left for the subsequent repair of damaged surfaces in the process of exploitation. " Again - when calculating the tile is better to have a small margin.
