Flooring

28 * 18 / 9 = 56 square yards.

12" x 12" = 1 square foot

You need 250 pieces, plus a few spares

in case you break or chip one.

Total area = 72 * 16/12 * 16/12 square ft = 128 sq ft.

I'm guessing that you mean penny round tile. If so, no should never lay this over a laminate floor. Laminate floors are floating, so they move and your tile/grout will crack. You are also not supposed tile on top of any form of wood (laminate is recycled hardwood), because it expands and contracts so it will also cause the tile and grout to crack. You should remove the laminate. And then install on top of either smooth concrete, level it or add in cement board.

If, however, you actually mean vinyl, then it depends the condition of the vinyl. It's usually better to remove it, but you might be able to get instead pour 1/2 self leveling cement or put cement board on top and then install. Your floor should be smooth and level before installing the tile.

Yes, you should be able to. Most cork flooring tiles are floating - they click together. So, they can go on top of virtually any surface provided that it is level/flat and there are no issues of moisture.

18 x 18 (hope these are in inches)

18" x 18" is the same as 3/2 feet x 3/2 feet and the area of one tile is 9/4 sq feet.

To fill 160 sq feet you would need (160)/(9/4) = 640/9 = 71.11 tiles and you need to round it up to 72 tiles.

Area of each tile = 16"*16" = 1.33 ft * 1.33 ft = 1.77... sq ft.

You would, therefore require a minimum of 550/1.77... = 309.4 or 310 tiles.

That assumes that the shape to be covered is well behaved and that all offcuts are used - not a realistic assumption in real life. It is usually recommended that you get 10% extra to allow for wastage.

If your hardwood floor is not shining, it might need some polish. Or, it might just be old. I suggest investing in a new hardwood floor if yours is so ancient that it has lost its ability to be lucent.

Or you can have your floors refinished. If they have been sanded recently, you might have a satin sheen in the polyurethane that was applied. If this is the case, all you have to do is re coat it with a semi gloss or gloss polyurethane.

400 square feet = 400 x 144 = 57600 square inches

Number of 60 x 60 square inch in 57600 is 57600/3600 = 576/36 = 16

I assume you mean an 8ft x 6ft room, which is 48ft2. I assume you mean 12in x 12in tiles, which are 1ft2 tiles. I don't know how many tiles are in a box, but you would need 48 12in x 12in tiles.

You have

Assuming the floor is an ideal shape, it comes out to 2684/289~9.29, so the best answer is ten tiles. Although other certain shapes would change how the square tiles need to be placed.

First I would convert 16x16 inch tiles in feet

16x16 inch tiles = 1.25x1.25 feet tiles

To calculate the square feet that one tile takes up multiply 1.25 x 1.25

1.25 x 1.25 = 1.5625 sq feet

Now calculate 190/1.5625 to find the number of tiles that can fit in 190 square feet

190/1.5625 = 121.6

You will need 121-122 square tiles

If you're having a professional contractor install your floor they normally include that in the price with a line item, unless you're installing a specific type of finish or grout. If its highly unique then they normally give you a price with normal stuff and a price for the work for the specifics that you want. Calculating the price is pretty easy depending upon gap and, type of tile, and grout you plan on using.

The answer is 27 sheets.

One 4'x8' sheet is 32 Sq. Ft.

Total Sq. Ft. of the 24' x 36' floor is 864.

864/32 = 27 (Sheets)

Yes, but first remove the tile...:-)

Actually, the trick is to remove the tile without gouging the hardwood floor beneath. Some surface scratching is inevitable while removing the tile but you want to keep it to a minimum. The sanding process when refinishing will eliminate any blemishes that are not to deep.

It depends on where the flooring would be, but I would say that rubber flooring is the best. For indoors or outdoors, it's amazingly safe and lasts much longer. I'm very happy with the rubber flooring in our backyard and the local private school has it in their gym and I hear they love it too.

Yes.

18*18 = 324 tiles.

This depends on the brand/quality of cork. A good brand, such as Natural Cork (made by US floors) will usually have a 25 yr warranty. They do also offer a lower quality Eco cork w/ 15 yr warranty. Be careful of cork that is very cheap...it may have low warranty (15 yrs or less) or no warranty, and since it is an item that is imported, the quality can vary greatly.

It depends, first of all on the dimensions of each tile. The question states that the tiles are 12 x 12 but gives no indication whether those measures are inches or centimetres.

Assume, that the measurements ARE 12 inches x 12 inches.

Then each tile has an area of 1 ft x 1 ft which is 1 sq ft.

The minimum number of tiles required to cover 220 square feet = 220/1 = 220. However, that requires the further assumption that the area is well behaved and that there is no wastage. Unless the area is in the form of a rectangle with sides that are a whole number of feet, that will not happen. And when you need to cut tiles, you will have breakages, cut-offs that cannot be used and so on.

So, given two major assumptions, the answer is 220 tiles but, since neither assumption can be justified, I would suggest around 240 tiles.

18 inch x 18 inch tile is really (1 and 1/2) feet by (1 and 1/2) feet

That is (3/2) x(3/2) square feet = 9/4 square feet.

To cover 900 square feet we need (900)/(9/4) = (900) x (4/9) = 100 x 4 = 400 tiles

I charge $5 per foot with a 100 ft min.
