How to work out Tiles per Square Metre
Posted by Tilestop on May 5, 2011 in Uncategorized |
Working out the number of tiles need to fill a square metre is pretty simple!
This is how you do it - Example:
- 1 Square Metre = 100 x 100 cm
- 1 Tile is (let's say) = 30 x 60 cm
To work out how many tiles you need per m2, simply do this:
Times the width x height of a square metre and the same for the tile:
- 100 x 100 cm = 10,000
- 30 x 60 cm = 1800
Divide the tile by the square metre:
- 10,000 รท 1800 = 5.55555556
Round that number up and you have 5.5 Tiles per SQM!
Thanks!!
So just to check: 100 Kitchen tiles at 10 x 10 cm = 100 Tiles?
When my tiler says buy 2.5 SQM, I need 250 tiles?
@SteveG That’s correct!
That was easy, great help! thx
