What will it cost to tile a floor that is 12 feet wide by 20 feet long if the tile cost 8.91 per square yard?

20x12=240 sq. ft; Divide by 9 ( 3x3= 1 sq. yard). 240/9= 26.667 sq. yards; 26.667 x 8.91= $237.60. Add some (usually about 5% of what you need to account for broken/cut tiles) So do the following... 26.667 x 0.05 = 1.33 yards. So add this to your value of $238...so for a little than than $10 more your safe on supplies.

Answer:

$237.60 + tax <-- Exact price/quantity

$247.60 + tax <-- Safe Price/extra material

Do you need to put a sealer on sanded grout?

You don't necessarily "NEED" to seal it, but it is a wise choice! Grout is a cementitious material just like concrete and both absorb water unless they are waterproofed. Absorptive concretes develop structural issues and require repairs with chlorides and other contaminates which enter and cause reinforcing steel to corrode.

Grouts merely absorb stains and discoloration becomes an eyesore. Mop water that isn't changed often enough when cleaning will be absorbed and turn grout joints dark, and spills are wicked into a grout within seconds.

I have beige tile and grout in a kitchen/family room area that is six years old and looks brand new. Sealed with a product called StableCrete to waterproof the day after it was installed. Common response to visitors walking in, "What a beautiful tile job, is it new?"

Then covering 427 sq ft will require 427/2.0069 = 212.76 = 213 tiles.

This number assumes there are no breakages, there is no wastage and that every offcut is used.
