Calculation of tiles is an important stage in the repair of the premises. If you do not calculate the necessary amount of material for walls and floors in advance, you can ruin the whole appearance of the room, not to mention the fact that you have to buy the necessary.
Calculation of the tiles for the bathroom is not complicated, because this material has the correct geometric shape. Preliminary calculation of the required number of tiles allows you to correctly fold the picture, make neat joints between the floor and walls. In order for the room to look beautiful and tidy, it is necessary to smooth out all the seams and make a joint in the drawings. Otherwise, the result may turn out to be sad and even the most professional styling will not save it.
How to calculate the tile?
Calculation of ceramic tiles is individual for each particular bathroom. The calculations are based on the dimensions of the room and the dimensions of the tiles.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the places in the room that are in sight and are evident first. On such places should lie only the whole tile, seams and joints - are inadmissible.
Unfortunately, many bathrooms do not always have the right geometric shape. If on the floor the seam of the tile passes close to the wall, then the curvature of the room will be emphasized.
Be sure to join the wall and floor tiles. All joints must be in the same places. Tiles on the wall should be placed only after the floor - this gives the room a neat appearance.
The next step is to calculate the amount of tile for each wall of the bathroom or other room. When calculating, do not forget about the width of the seams. In order for the walls to look beautiful, the size of the cutting along the edges should be at least 30% of the size of the tile. To do this, the most prominent wall should start with a whole tile, and less specific - with a cut. The same must be done on the floor. It is desirable that the wall starts and ends with a whole tile. But, since it happens rarely, the wall from the floor should be started with a whole tile, and at the top to lay a cut, the size of at least 50%. If the tiles need to be laid not to the end, but to half the wall, then the wall should be started with the cut, and the center of the wall to lay whole. All these features must be taken into account when calculating tiles before laying. Only in this case the room will look neat and complete.
When calculating tiles in the bathroom, do not forget to take into account the size and height of the shower and bath.
If there are decorative elements and drawings on the tile, then they should be placed symmetrically, taking into account all the items of sanitary ware in the room.
When calculating tiles for the bathroom you need to consider all the walls at the same time. Tiles should be docked on walls in the same places. The same goes for windows - stitches that do not coincide on the door slopes or on the windows, instantly spoil the beauty of the room.
The program for calculating tiles
It is much easier for modern people to calculate the number of tiles for a bathroom or any other room thanks to special programs. The most popular programs
When using programs for calculating tiles, do not forget that the computer can not take into account some important nuances: the location and the combination of the drawings, a combination of colors. The program considers only the optimal number. Therefore, in order not to be mistaken, one should not neglect own calculations.
