How many 16 x16 tiles to cover 270 square feet?

First, find the square footage of an 16" x 16" tile. 16 x 16 = 256 square inches. There are 144 square inches in a square foot (12" x 12" = 144). So divide 256 by 144 to get the square feet per tile. 324 / 144 = 1.78 sq ft per tile.

You have 270 square feet, using tiles that are 1.78 sq ft each. 270 / 1.78 = 151.7 tiles.

Generally, you will want to add from 5% to 10% for waste, depending on your layout (is it one big room, or several smaller rooms with lots of cutting?) (are you doing a checkerboard pattern, running bond (brick), or diagonal?) and your skill level. If in doubt, add 10% to be safe.

152 tiles + 10% --- that's 152 x 1.1 = 166.9 tiles.

What is a good way to clean vinyl floor?

I've used NON-AMMONIATED FLOOR STRIPPER, if the floor has no scratches, it's left like brand new. In Canada you find it at Home Hardware.

How many 6x6 tiles do you need to make 100 square feet?

What is the average labor cost of carpet installation?

It varies greatly from product to product and from market

to market. The best way to get an answer is to put an ad on Craigslist

telling what you want installed, the more detail you can give the better the quote will be... ie..

"3/4 inch, unfinished oak hardwood over wood subfloor,

new construction, 400 sq feet, need it done this week, paying cash.".

The lesson here is that the more detail you put in the ad, the better the quote.. You will have to understand that not every installer has Golden Hands, some are thieves & butchers, so you may not always want the low bidder..

Can you put ceramic tile above the galvanized sheet?

That depends on what kind of support is underneath the sheet metal, and you will still need to install tile backerboard or cement board on top of the sheet. Generally, you'll need sturdy support to hold the weight of tile and backerboard so the tile won't move (at all). Any movement causes grout to crack and tiles to pop loose. Recommended support is at least 3/4" thickness of subfloor supported by joists no more than 16" on centers. If the span between joists is greater, then you'll need a thicker subfloor support. Then install cement board or backer on top of your galvanized sheet, with mortar troweled under the backerboard to support any gaps, and screwed into the subfloor. Then install tile to the backerboard.

How many 2400x600mm flooring would you need to cover 14ft x 13ft floor ares?

Can you install wood flooring in the basement?

Yes, you can...provided that there is not a water nor moisture issue.

If the basement is below grade (i.e. beneath the ground), then you need to use an engineered hardwood (rather than solid hardwood). Some engineered hardwoods can be glued and others click into place. It's best to consult a flooring professional on best structure/installation method and whether floor prep is needed (since many basements are uneven).

Oops...I forgot to sign in.

Engineered hardwood is real (and not be confused with laminate which is fake).

How many 16 x 16 tiles cover 350 sq ft?

  • 16X 16 tiles are 256 sq inches each
  • 144 sq inches in a sq foot
