How to measure for a square when you complete your bathroom remodel

Imagine this, you think for a bath, you already have an established budget. They see a tile from tile that you like. The price of the tile is $5.00 square feet. How do you know if this 5.00 $ tile square feet is within your budget? In addition to the square, how much to budget for me, seal the grout?

The last article I provided information about the different types of available tiles for your bathroom remodel. Now is the time to learn how to measure for the project-and the cost for the tiles, with tile supplies.

There are different types of tile to tile the bathroom:

Field tile Cutting tile

Tile field is the main body of the tile for a renovation project. For example, if you tile the bathroom tile, the tile field is on the walls of the shower. Field tile covers the largest area of the tile project. Common size for a square is 12 inches by 12 inches. tile field is sold by the square footage, so you need to take the area for a square field and calculate the square footage.

Tile trim is divided into two categories:

Accent tile cropping (to be defined by using the tile field) Border tile cropping (to finish off the tile field)
How to measure

Let's go through for example to help you through the process of measurement of tile. In this example, we are going to install a tile for bathroom with shower surround.

For the bathroom with a shower, you will need to surround for three walls. The tile will be installed at a height of 6 feet (2) above the deck of the bath.

The first wall is 5 meters wide. At the end of the two walls as all 3 feet wide. To determine the square footage, tile needed to measure the width of each of the three walls, multiply it bagoba the peripheral.

We'll start measuring first wall:

5 ' wide (60 inch) by 4 ' in height 2.40 m. 5 X 6 = 30 meters square.

Then you need to measure two end walls:

3 feet deep (36 cm) w X 6 ' tall. 3 X 6 = 18 square meters. 3 feet deep (36 cm) w X 6 ' tall. 3 X 6 = 18 square meters.

Then, you must add the dimensions of all three walls together:

66 square feet of tile required for peripherals.

I recommend my clients into a waste of 20% when you set the tile. Can be manufactured in mind could tile, the tile order back for weeks, or many other problems may occur if you are running short of remodeling your bathroom tile when. Additional 20% tile of 66 square meters worth of additional 13.2 square feet of tile. I suggest rounding up to 14 meters square tile for the waste.

66 square feet + square feet = 14 80 meters square tile field.

Next you need to measure crop the edges pieces of tile. Trim pieces will terminate at the eastern end of the square runs horizontally on each wall has two, and the top of the card to all three walls running vertically. Trim pieces are linear bmatr. Trim pieces typically range from 8 inches to 12 cm in length.

In our example, one wall is 5 meters in length and two walls are approximately 3 meters length. The tile is 6 feet above the deck of the bath; Bath is at a height of 14 inches. Again, I'm always round the next highest foot measurement. In this case, you can round up to measure 14 inches below the highest, that is 24 inches (2 m). Adding these two dimensions together:

6 + 2 (14 "rounded up) = 8 '

Remember, you need to be completed at the eastern end of the two end walls, tile, so need to multiply this measurement:

8 + 8 = 16 "

In this example, you need 16 (linear feet) of the tile trim to finish on the eastern edge of the tile for each of the two end walls.

Next, you need to measure the top of the tile of peripherals. This is simply because we know already that one wall is 5 metres length and two walls approximately every 3 feet in length:

5 + 3 + 3 = 11 '

Finally, you can add up to two measurements for determining the linear feet of tile cropping is necessary peripherals.

16 + 11 = 18 ' of cutting tile

In addition to the square, has a budget for grout seal the I budget $ 1.00 for every square metre of the tile field must be ordered to cover the expenses of grout, signs the. this method is a quick and easy way to create a budget for your tile and to stay within your budget for remodeling the bathroom.

Now it's time to measure the area you are about to install tile. These measurements will let you know the cost of each tile you are thinking of installing a bathroom.
