How many tiles do I need? Calculating a tiled area in square meters
First I had better point out that a square meter of tiles will cover an area 1 meter high x 1 meter wide.
If you already know how many square meters your bathroom / kitchen measure then you can ask in your tile shop for tiles in square meters.
Start by measuring the overall size of the wall, height by the width. So 2500mm x 5000mm = 12.50 square meters or m2
Next the window, height by the width again. So 1000mm x 1500mm = 1.50 m2
Now the door, height by width again. So 1960mm x 760mm = 1.489600 m2. Round this off as 1.5 m2 to make it easier.
So we've got to take away 1.5 m2 for the window and 1.5 m2 for the door equalling 3 m2.
12.5 Square meters minus 3 square meters = 9.5 m2.
Now we add 10% extra to allow for cuts and waste. 9.5 m2 + 10 % = 10.45 m2.
Total amount of tiles needed is 10.45 m2.
Hope this helps.
We understand this can be complicated and if you would rather we call out and do this for you just give us a call.
