If i got 200 tiles at 15cm by15cm each how much m2 is this?

You Have 200 Tiles of 15 cm x 15 cm.

so the Are will be:

200 x 15 x 15 = 45000 Sq.cm

and in 1 Sq.m there are 10000 Sq.cm

So Devide 45000 to 10000

45000 / 10000 = 4.5 Sq.m

so You Have 4.5 Sq.m

So Did You Ger It Bro :)

How do you know if asbestos is in your vinyl?

How do you fix a leak that is coming from the upstairs shower drain into the basement ceiling tiles?

It depends on the origin of the leak. If it's just the drain you might be able to tighten some fittings. In many of the older homes, (20 years or more) there is a pan seal used on tile showers that keeps water from leaking past the drain. The pan used back then was basically a hard tar paper/rubber combination that failed over time and ends up leaking. The tar paper was folded such that it fit tightly into the corners and up the wall approximately 4 to 6 inches. If the pan sealer has failed, the only real option is to replace the shower since you'll need to pull the tile to get to the pan. The pan used today is vinyl and won't break down like the old ones did.

Can you stain laminate flooring to change the color?

no...laminates are basically a composite body with a photo type image of wood on body and are protected by a final coat of oxide protectant

Can you paint or varnish laminate floors?

The melamine and aluminum oxide wont let the finish stay long term and it wont look good in the short term either.

Explain the usage of Minwax polyurethane Polyshade on hardwood floors.?

As I just found out the hard way - Minwax Polyshade is NOT RECOMMENDED for floors.

My 'expert' at the hardware didn't mention this when he recommended it for my hardwood floors.

The manufacturer does NOT recommend it and I also see its written on the can 'not for floors'.

I should have checked that myself except the home hardware 'expert' assured me it was great and 'more durable'.

It is NOT more durable. In fact, the very problem is that it will be LESS durable. It might even look good but it will scrape and even peel and shred up the first time you move a chair back and forth,

or even a harder sole on a shoe or boot will tear it up.

It will leave you with a very soft 'plastic' coat that will easily scar, scrape off or dull!

IF you are like me and already made the mistake of staining a hardwood floor with Minwax 'one step' Polyshade then (Im told and will find out soon) the only solution (next to removing it) is to buy a very good and proper hardwood floor polyurethane 'top coat' and lay down 2 coats over top.

What is the ratio of 2 yards wide by 10 feet long?

3 feet in one yard

2 yards is then 2yards X 3 feet = 6 feet

so the answer looks like 6/10 or as we used to do it in the days when the earth was young, we reduced all fractions & 6/10 would be 3/5

and if you want to be ridiculously thorough; 2 yards is 60% of 10 feet.

The ratio is 3:5

How much is 20.00 per linear foot of 27 of carpet runner?

poorly stated question,
