international building code book says a 350S162 33ksi steel on 16" centers

It should take about 825 1 foot square tiles to cover a floor with those dimensions. This assumes roughly a 10% waste factor.

12X20 = 240 sq feet

12"x12" tiles are 1 sq foot each so must be 240/1= 240

If your tile is 16"x48" you will need to multiply them together.

16x48=768 square inches

There are 144 square inches in a square foot, so multiply 104 x 144 = 14,976

Finally take 14,976/768=19.5

You will need at least 20 tile to complete this. Likely with this size tile, you will have a lot of waste. Consider purchasing an additional 4 tile for waste, mistakes, and extra for an issue later.

Typically plywood is 4'x8'. 4x8=32 sf....

If your room is 11.5 x 11 = 126.5 sf

Divide your total by 32 --- 126.5/32 = 3.95

You will need at least 4 sheets of plywood. Remember to account for waste, you may need a 5th sheet.

According to the Janka Hardness Scale Acacia rates at 1750 lbs in a sq inch.

it depends . . . how big is your room, where is the light system? does it make one colour look darker than the other??

Engineered flooring is a type of flooring that comes under the wood flooring category. You can get engineered flooring done at your home as it is non susceptible to water and can withstand any pressure. It keeps a normal temperature irrespective of any weather conditions. Cleaning is also not an issue. Thus, engineered flooring is a great option if you have been planning to get flooring done for your house or office.

5260 (sq feet) = 488.66999 sq meters

150 without any waste - typically you should expect 10% waste so buying 165 tile would be a good idea.

25 will cover it. I'd get 28.

a 12 x 2 inch square tile is 1 foot by foot = 1 sq ft

you need 252 tiles

If you just multiply 11 x 18, you get 198 square feet. However, because carpet often comes on rolls with a fixed width, you can't always just buy the exact square footage you need.

A hydrocarbon based curing compound can be detected using infrared spectrscopy or FTIR. Usually this involves removing a sample from the floor and sending the sample to a testing lab.

Commonly this is done during a quality control requirement prior to flooring application if included in the specifications or later when evaluation of a flooring or coating failure is performed.

18" x 18" = 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft = 2.25 sq ft.

Number of tiles required = 700/2.25 = 311.11... so 312 tiles are required.

That is the mathematical answer to the question. In real life, you will need to make an allowance for your skill level and the awkwardness of the shape being tiled - which will affect the proportion of offcuts that can be used.

hardwood or vinyl . tile on a raised foundation will always crack in the grout lines

Laminates are made of a plywood/mdf board coated with a laminated veneer. The laminated surface is water proof, but the material it is bonded to is usually not. Water can work its way down into the fine spaces between each section of laminate and be absorbed by the board underneath. This can cause that material to swell and eventually warp the laminate surface. There can also be issues of mold. You can buy vinyl wood plank flooring that looks more like wood than many of the laminates. It is very waterproof, and easy to clean. This product is high quality and you can expect to pay anywhere from $3 to $5 a square foot.

The pedestal you should be able to slide it underneath it and then put glue down. The toilet, you can make a paper pattern and then transfer that to the linoleum. Split it in the back to go around the toilet. It is easy enough to pull the toilet, all you will need to do is replace the wax ring underneath it. Pick the toilet straight up and set it in the tub or shower so that water doesn't get all over the floor. Tip the toilet forward and back to get the water out of the drain in the base.

It's always a good idea to get extra flooring material. How much depends on the type of floor covering. If you are using linoleum, you want to make sure you don't have any awkward seams. If you have a room that isn't square, make sure that you have enough extra to avoid those unwanted seams. First measure all dimensions of the floor. If you are buying ceramic tile, buy enough for an extra few inches all around. This will offset any broken tile you may end up with.

There is no paint that won't wear off soon in this application. The best you could get would be an epoxy paint,and even that won't last long. -That's why they do floors with tile !

Math problem or Real life would make a difference in the answer. In real life you have to "break the joints" on the floor joists, in a math problem, not so much.

Plywood almost universally assumes 4'X8' sheets

so 4X8=X sq/feet/per sheet Hint more than 30 sq feet less than 36

13' X 14'= Y sq/feet for the room hint more than 180, less than 186

so looks like the formula will be room size divided by sq feet per sheet

Y/X= Answer more than 5 less that 8 sheets, if you are answering in whole sheets round up if not it does have a decimal.
