3ft = 1 yard : 9 sq ft = 1 sq yd

Area of cover = 15 x 24 = 360 sq feet = 360 ÷ 9 = 40 sq yd

Cost = 40 x 50 = 2000 cents = $20.00

342 of them.

You will need 140 tiles (10 x 14 = 140)

Armstrong Vinyl Floor Cleaner is a great cleaner; it leaves a very thin film of acrylic, preserving your vinyl floor's finish. I personally avoid vinegar or ammonia as they exacerbate this author's asthma.

You can mop them with a solution of 1/2 cup vinegar and a gallon of warm water, which is a very effective cleaner, and no rinsing required. Vinegar is safe on floors, as well as being safe for children and pets. It's also safe for the environment, so it is a great alternative for those "going green".

Or, if you prefer, you can also clean them with Murphy's Oil Soap. Mix 1/4 to one gallon warm water, mop as usual. No rinsing required.

8x6=48 12 inches in a foot.

6x8=48

A square foot is 12" x 12" space. You have 4 ea of 6"x6" tiles in a square foot.

If the tiles measure 12 inches square then the area of each tile is 1 sq foot.

Therefore 1400 tiles are needed to cover an area of 1400 square feet.

However, the actual dimensions of the area being tiled can affect the number of tiles required so closer examination is needed.

It is best to remove the wall tiles. You need a flat service and a lot of times old tile will not be perfectly flat. If you remove the tiles you will have a good base to tile on. If you don't want to remove the tiles you may be able to add a backer board on top of the old tile and then tile on that.

yes it is, if that is the bottom floor

Now that's a loaded question !! It would depend on a lot of things. What type of flooring do you have now and what type are you putting in, will there be a lot of prep work to do, or is it a new building? Are there a lot of jogs or angles to deal with? You would be far better off to phone a few flooring companies, have them look at the site and get some free estimates.

as long as it is dense and not thicker than 3/16" (the thickness of a nicklel)

Convert the tile length to feet : 12 inches = 1 ft then 15 inches = 15/12 = 1.25 feet

Then the area of each tile = 1.25 x 1.25 = 1.5625 sq ft

The number of tiles required = 378 ÷ 1.5625 = 241.92 (round up to 242)

However, the actual dimensions of the area can affect the number of tiles required.

If the length is 21' then a strip of 17 tiles along the length will result in 3" wastage on the final tile.

If the width is 18' then a strip of 15 tiles will result in 9" wastage on the final tile.

If, because of the tile pattern, the wastage cannot be used then the tile requirement increase to 15 x 17 = 255.

Every manufacturer makes many different models and all of them are different dimensions, no standard dimension. I would go to Home Depot or Lowes website & pick one I like & they will have the specs on there so you would know.

The answer to this question depends upon several criteria:

1. The span of the floor framing members

2. The 'on center' spacing of the floor framing members

3. The nominal dimension of the floor framing members (2x12 etc.)

4. The grade and species of the wood

5. Size and location of any holes or notches in the framing members

A typical residential floor designed for a 10 psf Dead Load, 40 psf Live Load and a deflection criteria of L/360 (mid span deflection limited to L in inches/360):

2x12 joists at 16" on center spacing, Spruce-Pine-Fir #2, will have an allowable max span of 17'-10".

2x12 joists at 16" on center spacing, Southern Pine #2, will have an allowable max span of 18'-10".

2x10 joists at 16" on center spacing, Spruce-Pine-Fir #2, will have an allowable max span of 15'-5".

Random thoughts: Thinset ceramic tile with mortar will add about 10 psf dead laod. Location of very heavy objects can be critical when determining a floors capacity.

9 sq. ft. in 1 sq. yard. divide 9 into $8.00 gives you .88 per. sq. ft.

100

This all depends on how "unlevel" it is. Assuming this humps or valleys are not larger then 1" in a 6' radius, than yes most definitely. You of course will still be able to feel this unlevel floor beneath you. The vinyl will only telegraph to the shape of the floor it sits on.

If the level issues are greater than this, you still may be able to install vinyl, but it would be hard to say for sure without having a professional looking at it.

Since a 12" x 12" tile is 1 sq ft, you would need 40 tiles. Generally speaking you always want to add 10% for waste, so you will need to buy 44 tiles.

No.

use $2. per sq foot as a base & you will get a lot of choices and pretty good product. YOu can always spend more or less, but $2 is a good budget.

Laminate floors are made with a plastic or polymer based material. If you speak of the finish of the laminate itself, it cannot be resealed. The surface itself is nonporous, making it impossible to create a new bond that will give you an ascetically pleasing appearance.

If you are speaking of resealing the perimeter of the flooring, you only need to buy a tool meant to pull caulk out and reapply new.

Either way, there is a metal strip available that has a groove in one side for the tile and a lip that goes over the carpet.

The most common brand name for these metal strips is Schluter.
