It's no different on drywall than it is on any other surface. You spread the cement the same way, you apply the tile the same way.

First find how many square INCHES each tile has.

12x12 tile = 144 sq in (12times12)

16x16 tile = 256 sq in (16times16)

Then divide 256 by 144 to find out how many square feet a 16x16 tile has...= 1.7777..

Then divide 5500 sq ft to 1.7777777... and you get 3093 pieces of 16x16 tile to cover 5500 sq ft.

Add 5% extra for waste (could be 10% etc, ..depends on many factors).

Good luck !

paint or acid etch

A large bottle of pure sugar cane syrup broke on the kitchen floor. I am not sure exactly the type of flooring, but it is a ruddy red color like brick but smoother tiling. I don't think it's terribly delicate.

My first mistake was mopping with soap. That seems to have spread the disastrous mess to new levels. I have also hand scrubbed with a degreaser and mopped again with water. It is still incredibly sticky, like to the point where if you walk on it with flip flops you will not make it very far.

Sticky or oily substances are difficult to clean up. You've already done, it but wipe up the worst of the mess with a dry paper towel. Then, I suggest a two-bucket method. Wipe the floor with a rag moistened with water from the first bucket, wipe the floor, rinse it out in the second bucket. Do a portion of the floor, empty both buckets, start again. There is just no easy way to get the last of it up and this may require repeated efforts. If you have a floor cleaner, use tepid water rather than hot.

Method products are good. Simple Green. Seventh Generation. Any of the natural cleaners should be fine.

one square foot is 144 sq inches, your tile is 4 square inches, therefore 144/4= 36 pieces per square foot, so 36x120=4,320 tiles

however, it will be less then that depending upon the size of your grout line and if the tile is truly 2x2. (some tile says its 4x4 for example, but if you measure it will be 3 and 5/8 or something so its important to physically measure the tile

One easy way would be to buy the small tiles on the mesh backing, like mosaic, they come in 1 sq ft pieces so you'd need 120. They are easy to install and your grout lines will be very consistant.

Warm, natural, grounding.

The tile itself costs between 2-20 $/square foot. The installation is 5-10 $/square foot depending on layout and any custom design work. Also labor for removal of old floor and upgrading sub-floor to plywood instead of chipboard is extra, and there is some cost in the grout, sealer, don't forget your baseboards etc. Tile will also be ordered with an additional 10-20% for waste. So you can get a pretty good idea by getting your square footage, multiply that by 1.10, multiply that by 17 $/ square foot ( 7 for tile, 6 for install, 2 for backerboard, 2 for grout, morter/thinset, sealer etc) then add for removal of old floor (totally varies on old floor material and condition. Hope that helps

The advantage of a flooring staple gun is that carpet layers can staple the carpet to the wood underneath, ordinary staplers cannot do this since they are to weak to go through both the carpet and the wood.

It would help to know the size of the tiles!

Here in Oregon we get $6.50- 7.00 a sf for broomfinished concrete driveways/ patios. 4-5'' thick, #3 rebar 2' on center each way. Straight joints and flat. Excavation of old and all labor and materials for the new. Also includes a 4'' compacted rock base. Typical driveway is 20' x 30' approx. Pump is extra if needed

i used bleach ,it is fantastic......the tiles looks like new again

If your tiles are really 25 square feet, you will need 7 of them to cover that area. Might as well get 8 to be safe. I don't know how many are in a box.

You cannot dissolve thinset in place. Remove any grout with MultiMaster power tool and diamond grout blade. Remove ceramic tile with a margin trowel carefully tapped under the tile with a hammer all around. Soak the tile in cheap white vinegar for 3 days to render the thinset and grout friable. Scrape it off, and repeat for tenacious deposits. Chip loose thinset off the wall, then smooth it reasonably with a MultiMaster and rasp attachment, also using the dust vacuum attachment and a shop vacuum. Wear a dust mask and goggles for all operations.

the right amount is £70.90

NEVER, The heat will break down the finishes over time. The same is true with vinyl flooring, hardwood, laminate, LVT and grouting. Steam is meant for carpet only!

Concrete- I remember when concrete nails were made of a forged tungsten steel.

It depends on whether the tile is glazed or unglazed and what you are trying to clean off. If you are trying to clean a liquid that had seeped into the tile you may be out of luck. It may be permanently stained. If you are trying to do routine maintenance you can use a mop and warm water with a mild tile cleaner.

12x12 is a square foot

15 of those would be 15 square feet

120

The following are not covered, "Settling, shrinking, bulging or expansion, including resultant cracking, of pavements,patios, foundations, walls, floors, roofs or ceilings;"

Sorry the answer is no.

if your grout line is less than 1/4" you use smooth grout, above that you use sanded grout.
