Flooring

Whom ever wrote this problem, did not give the unit of measurement (yards, feet, meters, etc.) so, I am going to presume that the 12 by 12 tile is in inches, and the 15 by 15 is in feet.

If my presumption was correct the answer is 15 tiles. Because a 12 by 12 tile is = to 1 square foot. How many 1's fit into 15? 15!

Well, not exactly.....

You need to multiply 15 X 15 to get the square footage and that will give you

the number of tiles needed since the tiles are 1 ft square. 15 x 15= 225. So you

need 225 tiles. And add extra tiles for breakage...

No one removes their cabinets to lay new tile. If your stove isn't built-in it can be moved and tile laid under it. If it is built-in you would buy a new stove the same size as the old one. Most stoves & dishwashers only come in a few standard sizes so it wouldn't be a problem to find one that fiits.

27 cents a sq foot

No, bamboo flooring can't be installed in the bathroom. It is easy to get moldy.

225.

Flooring is major factor when it comes to design your living room. How you do the floors to make impression on guests. Choose floor that meet your requirements of design, color and material. Flooring should be comfortable to use, easy to maintain, durable and cost effective. With many flooring options you need to know which is best suited to you and your house interior.

It solely depends on the square footage you wish to replace and the type of flooring you wish to install, and whether you're doing it yourself or hiring a contractor

Installing a hardwood floor will vary in price depending on a few factors. One factor is the size of the room. Another factor is the type of flooring that is purchase.

144 square feet (12 X12) is normal for all except the master bedroom.

Master bed room is more like 250 - 300 square feet.

Standard wood floor joist spacing is 16" on center.

Generally speaking, the thickness of the plywood layed directly over floor joist.

A subfloor is a base floor for main floor like if you are willing to have under floor heating system then a floor is built first then the main flooring is made so basicall base floor of main floor is subfloor.

subfloors are generally made from at least two layers of moisture resistant ('AC' grade, one side finished and sanded flat) plywood or composite sheeting.

Plywood, fiberboard, or cement board is the best underlayment for floors, depending on the type of floor being installed. An underlayment provides more stability and a smoother surface to the finish floor.

I have never covered up floor tile before without removing the old tile but I have covered up an old back splash with new wall tile and did nothing to go over it just used the white pre mixed wall glue to install the tile right over top with no issues.

You can but I would lay plastic down and make sure that there is a 3/8 inch gap all the way around for expansion due to humidity changes, you can cover the gap with baseboard.

8 is the normal... Any landings? are the steps over a meter wide?

Your A/C is probably not level in the window and the water (or condensation) is running inside.

To fix it; Level the A/C in the window (or have the outside section angled slightly down) to avoid having a wet floor inside.

It depends on how thick the subfloor is. Travertine, marble, etc, are *heavy* and most modern buildings are inadequate - one sheet of ply over joists is not going to prevent the floor from bouncing as you walk over it. The more the floor moves - especially if we're talking a new house that hasn't settled yet - the more the tiles shift. This leads to grout cracking and, in the worst cases, tiles working loose or breaking when you step on them.

Check the thickness of the subfloor 'in toto' - you want at least a 1-1/2" depth to carry a load of heavy stone tile. If you need to, add plywood or (better yet) cement board (doesn't swell or shrink according to humidity) to make up the difference.

It depends on several factors not listed. Im going to assume you have wood floors with vinyl that was installed over the top of the wood? And im going to assume that you removed the vinyl and found wood floors but have vinyl glue spread all over.

Ok.. here are my thoughts and possible solutions.

First off is this is going to take alot of work most likely. So be prepared.

2nd, there are several factors you need to know. Is the wood a solid hardwood floor? Or is it an engineered wood floor. That is is the wood built like plywood.

If its a solid wood floor, i would try using a sponge to damping the glue residue with hot water. Remember all wood floors are extremely sensitive to moisture. And possible water damage may occur. However most vinyl glues are water based and can be released with hot water. I would use a stiff bristle plastic scrub brush.

If this doesnt work, you will need to sand and refinish the wood floors. which would make them look brand new again.

If you have an engineered floor, the scrubbing may work, however not all engineered floors can be sanded as the top ply of wood can be less than 1/8th thick and a sander could sand too much and destroy the wood.

Remember that if you try the water that you want the glue damp, not wet. you do not want the wood to soak up water.

Ive been a flooring installer for 10 years, im 25 years old and own my own buisiness, and am the 4th generation flooring installer in my family with a combined experience of over 150 years.

12ft X 16ft = 192 sq ft X $1.23 = $236.16

The wall, 4 ft x7 ft, is 28 ft2. Each tile, .5 ft x .5 ft, is .25 ft2. 28ft2 divided by .25 ft2 = 112. However, that doesn't account for the grouted spaces between the tiles which, depending upon the width of the spaces, would somewhat reduce the number of tiles required.

We have cheap (but sturdy, nice) tile floors - thanks to our former landlord... I tried some of the crazy crap, offered as "magic" solutions. Miracle Whip, for instance. I got nothing but a scuffed floor with salad dressing smeared all over it. SO glad I was home, alone... LOL Anyway... So - blushing and hurried, I wiped it up. Then I got a bright idea. I grabbed a pencil I didn't care about, turned it around - and used the eraser, right on the floor. Voila! Talk about magic. Those scuff marks came right up.

If the eraser gets a little slick, wipe it on your jeans or press a little firmer, as you rub back and forth. Hey, I thought while I was at it - I'd try it on a mild surface sciff (scratch)...worked for that, too. Don't worry, if the eraser seems to leave something behind. Your mop, or a little spit n'shine, will take care of that.

Got a big floor, with alot of scuff marks? Try a tennis ball on the end of your mop. Still a bit of work I guess...but wouldn't it be, anyways? At least you won't be on your knees, doing it. Good luck!

Water damage can do it.Termites can too.

68 but if you didn't include overage then get 75

Ok I am a designer so here is the basic formula to find out exactly how much of any form of flooring you should order except carpet. you take your 120 sqft and add 10% to that amount which should be 12 sqft. making your total 132. now you need to take that total and divide it by the number of sqft per box that the stone tile is sold in to figure out how many boxes you need to buy (reason for this is no one in their right mind will sell it to you per tile) lets say it comes 12.31 sqft per box. 132/12.31 = 10.72 now round this number up to 11 boxes (it is ok to round down if it is lower example- 10.12 can become 10 boxes) so if you want to know the square footage you take your eleven boxes multiplied by 12.31 and you get 135.41........Your squarre footage will always vary slightly depending on how many square feet there are per box. and on a further not I would add 15% to a squarefootage under 100 sqft
