Ceramic Tile Formula
Convert in Metric or Imperial, Formula the same for both...
Room Width (RW) x Room Length (RL) = Value, Take Value and convert to inches.
Different Tiles Available
| 12"x12" | = | 144 inch |
| 3"x12" | = | 36 inch |
| 4"x12" | = | 48 inch |
| 6"x12" | = | 72 inch |
| 4"x4" | = | 16 inch |
| 18"x18" | = | 324 inch |
| 12"x24" | = | 288 inch |
Divide Room value (converted to inches) divided by tile size = the number of tiles needed per size.
Eg. Room is 10FT x 12 FT = 120 square feet
Convert 120 square feet to square inches. 1 ft = 12 inches
(10 x 12) x (12 x 12) = 120 x 144 = 17280 square inches
Divide this 17280 by tile size in inches = number of tiles needed
17280 / 144 = 120 "12 x 12" tiles
17280/ 36 = 480 "3 x12" tiles
17280/ 288 = 60 "12x24" tiles
etc...
