The maths is;
6 inch = 0.5 foot & 24 inch = 2 foot therefore 0.5 (height) x 2 (width) x 75 (Sq ft) = 1/2 × 2 = 75
Wood is fine for your SUB-floor, but not as the substrate to which you intend to attach the tile. You still need to install a crack isolation membrane or tile backerboard on top of the wood subflooring. It's because wood has too much 'give' and will cause your tiles to track and possibly pop loose. Grout lines will crack and eventually chip out.I followed instructions exactly for installing tile to my plywood subfloor - I used a polymer-modified thinset mortar designed to work with wood, and my floor joists were 16" on centers. The only difference is that I had a double thickness of subfloor (1-1/2") instead of the recommended minimum of 3/4". Ten years later, I have several tiles which sound 'hollow' (loosened from the subfloor) and several others are cracked. These are high-density porcelain floor tiles. I'll not do that again.
Most ceramic tiles are laid over a wooden subfloor, except for those on the ground floor of a house with a slab foundation. I will add to the answer above by saying that you will need to use a polymer-modified thinset morter when installing ceramic tiles over wood. Most tile-setting morters available today are "modified", but check to be sure, because regular morters are designed to be used over concrete and will not adhere properly to wood. Also, if the floor area is large and there is more than a tiny bit of flex in the floor, you might end up with cracked tiles, especially if you or your family or guests are heavy. To avoid this, it might be necessary to build up the thickness of the floor by adding another layer of 3/4" plywood, or by using the older method of wire mesh and concrete over the existing wood (in which case you would not need a modified morter).
Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You will regret it later. Tile needs a cement base to adhere to. A wooden base is not good for ceramic tiles. I have seen tile floors where people have tiled over the wood. The tiles are loose, cracked and unlevel. The grout is coming out and water seeps through the floor.
You couldn't tile directly over a plywood sub-floor because over time, the wood will be expanding. There are products you can use in between the plywood and tiles to keep them in place such as cement backer board.
To determine how much laminate wood flooring you need to cover 132 square feet, you typically account for waste and cuts, which is usually around 10%. Therefore, you should purchase enough flooring to cover approximately 145 square feet (132 + 10%). Laminate flooring is often sold in boxes that cover a specific area, so check the coverage per box to determine how many boxes you will need.
Ceramic tiles are normally laid on a cement base. If the floor has any flexibility at all, the tiles will wind up cracking. But if you do have to install tiles on top of wood, then yes, the wood has to be sealed because the grout is mixed with water, which can damage unsealed wood.
it eamns the type of floor desired. it can be of wood, tiles, terazzo, marble etc.. :)
To install tile on a wood floor, first ensure the wood floor is clean and level. Apply a layer of cement backer board over the wood floor to create a stable surface for the tile. Use thin-set mortar to adhere the tiles to the backer board, spacing them evenly. Allow the mortar to dry before grouting the tiles. Seal the grout to protect it from stains and moisture.
Some popular trends in floor tile design for modern homes include large format tiles, geometric patterns, wood-look tiles, and textured finishes.
Maybe more than $250. Sometimes it cost a lot of money to pay for wood.
they are new vinyl strips with wood textured surface and adhesive backing for easy installation. please advice if it is applicable to the mosaic floors and will not bubble up due to moist underneath when the room temperature is low.
To lay tile on a wood floor, first ensure the wood is stable and level. Apply a layer of cement backer board over the wood to create a sturdy surface for the tile. Use thin-set mortar to adhere the tiles to the backer board, spacing them evenly. Once the tiles are set, apply grout between them and seal the grout lines for a finished look.
It depends on how many tiles of each length that you have.
To repair gaps in your wood floor, you can fill them with wood filler or use wood strips to cover the gaps. Sand the area smooth and finish with a matching stain or sealant for a seamless look.
I depends on what kind of flooring you are getting like 1x1 tiles or wood floor.
It seems that walking on a tile floor makes more of a pounding noise and kind of shakes the floor. More so than hard wood or carpet. At least that is my experience.
The ground of the woods wood have to be, the the floor in the desert.
