In this
lesson, we will learn the process of estimating the quantity of number of tiles
needed for a room, cement and sand needed for the tile flooring job.
Let us
suppose a room of width 6 meters and length 10 meters. The size of one tile is
considered as 0.3 meters by 0.3 meters.
Let us assume
the thickness of flooring equal to 50 millimeters. For the area of calculation
of area of room to be floored, multiply the width of room and length of room.
That
is, 6 meters x 10 meters = 60 m2
The
proportion of mortar is 1:4, where 1 is cement and 4 is sand.
First,
let’s compute the wet volume of mortar which will be needed for the bed of
flooring. As a result, the formula will be thickness of flooring x area of
flooring.
Wet
volume of mortar = 60 X 50/1000 = 3 m3
Dry
volume of mortar = 25% more of volume of wet volume = 3 x 1.25 = 3.75 m3
Quantity
of cement required = Dry Volume / Sum of proportion X Proportion of Cement
Quantity
of cement required = 3.75/1+4 x 1 = 0.75 m3
Number
of bags of cement required = (0.75/0.035) = 22
Quantity
of sand required = Dry volume/ Sum of proportion x proportion of sand
Quantity
of sand required = 3.75/1+4 x 4 = 3 m3
We know
that 1 m3 = 0.354 brass
Therefore,
quantity of cement in brass = 3 x 0.354 = 1.062 brass
Number
of mosaic tiles = Area of flooring/size of one tile = 60/0.3x0.3 = 667
