Measuring For A Floor Installation
Nov 23, 2015
If you are installing glass tile on the floor, you should start by measuring the square footage. To make this easy, in the case of an irregularly shaped room, divide the room up into rectangles, calculate the square footage of each area separately, and then add them together. For example, if your room is 10 feet by 15 feet, the total area is 150 square feet. Ten percent of 120 square feet is 12 square feet, so add this to your area for a total of 165 square feet. Then, using the total square feet noted on the cartons of glass tiles, divide your total square footage needed by the number of square feet provided in a carton of tile, and you will know how many cartons of tiles you need to purchase.
