Planning your tile calculations...
This seems a real headache for many people, but when you know the right way it is simple.
Unless you are measuring up for a large single area, it is not a good idea to work in square meters (or square anything else) as it is likely to be inaccurate. We always calculate the number of single tile.
Extras
Don't forget that you may also need a brass angle strip to put along the edge of any finished tiling where it butts up against another type of flooring. On steps you may need an edging of step treads. We always allow an extra 10% for cuts, breakages and spares. At Excel Ceramic Floor Tiles, we have dozens of people each week chasing old tiles to replace where a pipe has burst, or to repair an area. It pays to keep spares. Put them in your ceiling space or in the shed. Always make sure that the tiles selected are suitable for the area to be tiled. Excel Ceramic Floor Tiles are here to assist.
Expansion Joints
Floors and walls of all buildings are subject to some movement. Always contact your local Excel Ceramic Floor Tiles store for advice on expansion joints, their positioning and placement.
