Answers:
Ok I know what you want !!
To complete your bathroom you need 18 Square metres of tiles.
You have 1.5 square metres.
You need another 16.5 square metres.
Total area 22 square metres minus 4 for window etc.
Buy extra 2 square metres for cuts etc.
2 x 10 litres of tile adhesive
5kg bag of grout (mix yourself using empty adhesive tub).
1 tube Silicon to seal bath (before and after tiling)
3 tile trims if you are taking of the window and door frames.
1000x 2mm wall tile spacers.
Get all this and you have all you need to do the job.
Oh and if you have no tools then add--
Tile cutter.
Tile nibblers.
Grooved tile trowel (5mm).
Grout pad.
Pencil.
Level.
Sponge.
Hacksaw or Plastic cutters.
Hope all this helps.
even though you didnt pick a best answer to the previous one?
you dont tile in the windows, or the door, so the measurments are confusing?
I guess you mean, to minus these areas? then add the bath panel area?
But you havnt measured the height of the room!
Lets assume, an 8 foot high room or just under, so the walls roughly are 26,800sq inches.
Less the door/window, (4784) gives 22016"sq.
Thats roughly 14 square metres.
We already know, youve got enogh tiles, for 1.5 sq metres.
you need about 900 tiles.
Alowing for cuts, you'll have to buy 100 tiles, and make sure availability of another 100 of same pattern, just in case.
You will need adhesive, grout, and spacers, to cover 14 square metres.
(the bath panel is not used in sums, as the wall isnt tiled behind it)
are you tiling the floor only or the walls too?
bath 5'10" x 1'9" ?
thats skinny!
Definitely not. You have about 13 square feet of tiles; but one wall alone (the one without the bath) is almost 36sq ft in size.
You need to measure each space individually multiplying the width by the height to get the area. The get that area of tiles plus about 25% more for cutting and breakages.
Come back with all the measurements and I'll tell you how many tiles you need.
In short No. as you will be !
assuming the room is 8' high you will require 19 sq yds this is allowing 10 % wastage your tiles @ 6x4 = 54 tiles / sq yd and you require 1026 tiles, start saving. Tile adhesive 3 x10 lt tubs ( 2 1/2 if the walls are good ) 2 tile trims for the window and spacers .
need to know the height of the room if you are tiling all the walls
its easier if you calculate in metric your tiles are 100mm150mm
an average room height is 2300mm
2300 x 1800 x 2 = 8.28 + 2300 x 2000 = 4.6 = area of wall 12.88 sq metres
less window 1.48 sq metres less door 1.6 sq metres less bath .94 sq metres
+ 15% for cuts means you need 10.5sq metres 100 tiles is 1.5 metres you need another 600 tiles hope this helps give me the exact room measurements including height and i will tell you how many tiles you need see my e mail address
It is difficult to give you a sensible answer. First, tiles do not come in a standard size. Sizes can vary from 4x4 to 32x12 - and beyond! Second, it isn't clear whether you intend to tile all the walls from floor to ceiling or whether you want a pattern, boarders, more tiling in the shower area than around the bath/walls generally, etc. Third, without knowing the layout of your bathroom and all the measurements (for example, you are missing a measurement for the bath), it is impossible for anyone here to give you an answer that isn't going to confuse you further. From what I can see though, 100 tiles might not be enough - but it does depend on the size of the tiles, as stated.
My advice to you is to do 2 things. First, go into your bathroom and decide exactly what you want tiled and where you want the tiles. Are you looking to tile the entire room or do you want more tiling in some areas than others? In terms of helping you get the measurements right, it might help you to draw marks on the wall, with the pencil, so that you have reference points to help with the measuring. Next, use a metal tape measure and some graph paper to plot out the areas you want tiled. Measure each area and write down the measurements on the graph paper - width AND height. Write down the measurements for each wall separately. So if you want an entire wall tiled, measure the width and height of that wall. Doesn't matter if it is in feet, inches or centimetres, write it down. Do the same for each wall.
If you decide you want more tiling in some places than others (i.e. in the shower area, for example), mark out the pattern on the wall and then measure it - again, ensure you measure the width AND height. If you want a splashback around the bath, decide how high you want it - and, again, measure the width and height BUT remember - do not overlap the measurements otherwise you will end up with far too many tiles! If there are windows and doors, exclude them but do not exclude things like wash basins. The extra tiles will help with wasteage (there will be some). I recommend that when you are calculating the number of tiles you need, you add an extra 10% to allow for breakages. Most places will buy back any unused tiles.
Finally, before working out the number of tiles you need, you need to decide if you want the whole room tiled in one colour or a pattern. Plotting the pattern (if you want one) on graph paper will help you to determine how many of each tile to buy.
To work out the number of tiles you need, you need to calculate the area encompassed by each measurement. Remember all those width and height measurements? You need to convert them into whatever medium is used on the pack of tiles. So if your tiles give you coverage in sq metres, you need to convert your measurements into metres, then calculate the areas separately to get the sq meterage. Once you have done this, you need to add each section together to get the total sq metres.
If you are unable to do this, my advice to you is you get some help, perhaps from a friend who is good at DIY.
