My room is 10ft by 11ft, how many square meters of carpet do I need? I am trying to work out the cost!!!?
If your room is 10ft by 11ft you will need 10.21 square metres of carpet. You will need to buy more than this however, better to have some left over than not enough dont divide by 3 and get 36 square metres, 1 square foot is 0.09 square meters, you will need just over 10
900 sq ft plot is a lay out area. You are actually need a Good Building plan of 2BHK/3BHK with Car Parking on your square plot.Normally Square plot is a very rare case, Ok. Considering 30ft x 30ft plot, to arrive a final building plan, we need to consider the following.What is your budgetWidth of the RoadSoil conditionPlot Facing (EAST or WEST or N or S)Plot in the Metro, Urban, or RuralDo you need waterwell/borewell , if so what is the source in nearby areaDo you need Stilt + 1st and 2nd floor OR only the Ground floor Building OR G+1Do you need as per Vastu with room size also.Feed me all data to ravi.mechanic@yahoo.co.in and will sketch you a best available plan.
how many square yards do i need of carpet
10x14 and 12x12 will work for those 2 rooms, if you buy 12 foot carpet and roll it out 12 and 14'. but the 21x20 room will require at least 2pcs. of 12' carpet to only have 1 seam(12x40), if you roll it out the 20' wall. the nap of the carpet has to run the same direction in both pieces. it's about 85yds total.(yes, 9s.f. in a sq. yd.) if you use 15' carpet, you would be wasting on the other 2 rooms. if there is a pattern match, you have to also add that to the 40'. best bet is to take your measurements to your carpet dealer and have them figure the best use of the carpet. Hope that helps
How many square yards of carpet do I need for a 14 ft x 21 ft room?
W/O seeing the room to know where the seam lay out you can t get an exact S/F . If it were mine I d get a 15 foot wide carpet, no seams and then you d be looking at 315s/f w/ 21 s/f scrap, In 12 foot goods you d need a pc approx 12 x 25 or 300s/f. This is a guess, depending on the pattern and exact room measurement of course. All carpet ( floor covering) must be sold by the s/f . This is mandated by federal law. GL
How many 16x16 tiles will i need to cover 108 square feet?
16x16= 256 square inches 256 s/i divided by 144 ( inches in a square foot. =1.77 s/f per tile 108 s/f divided by your 1.77=61.06 pcs or a minimum of 62 pcs. Allowing for scrap , get the next box of tile over 62 pcs. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
How many 20x20 inch tiles would i need for a 500 sq ft room?
500 sq feet is 72,000 sq. inches. 20x 20 tile is 400 square inches so if you were able to use every lil piece with no cuts or waste you would need 180,,,,,,Now with that said you need to figure for cuts and waste. I always figure 10 to 15 percent depending on the pattern and some on the room dimensions. Plus you need to keep some extra to replace some that may break in the future. ( trust me you will never find a match from the same lot number 2 years down the road.) I could tell you closer if I had the exact dimensions of the room but go with 220 will be a good starting point. Good Luck hope this helps. Added: Facts to know; There are 144 square inches in a square foot. ( not 12 ) A 20x20 tiles is 400 square inches A 500 sq. ft room is 72,000 sq inches.
30 cm = 0.3 m.1 tile is 0.3 m x 0.3 m.1 tile is 0.3 x 0.3 = 0.09 sq. m.18.9 sq. m. divided by 0.09 sq. m. = 210You need about 210 tiles.Joints may take up area. The thickness of joints may reduce the number of tiles needed to cover that area. If the tiles are carpet tiles the joints are practically 0 mm. Therefore the area is covered by 210 tiles.If the tiles are ceramic tiles the joints may be 1 mm to 1 cm thick. if you had two rows of tile you would have 105 tiles x 2 tiles, with a long joint of say 1 cm x 30 cm x 105 = 0.315 sq. m. + 106 cross joints x 0.3 m x 2 x 1 cm = 0.636 sq. m. = 0.951 sq. m. That area is about equal to 10 1/2 tiles, so then you would need about 200 tiles.As you can see, the minutia can vary the outcome. I haven’t even asked the question about whether there is a joint around the perimeter (further reducing the number of tiles needed) or the overlap at joint intersections.Some would say buy 220 tiles (adding 10% for waste, breakage or miscounting) and return the unused tiles.Another method is to draw the pattern accurately (maybe in a computer program) so that you can find an exact number.This now raises other more philosophical questions:I only live once and why do I obsess over a couple of spare tiles? Haven’t I better things to waste time on? [like Quora?]Is waste unethical? Should I try to buy the exact number of tiles to avoid waste at all cost?Tiles are relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of my time and labour. Should I buy 300 tiles to avoid the unhappy event of my buying too few tiles? Will the supplier be out of tiles when I return to by extras? Then what? (Panic is the correct answer). Disposing tiles therefore shouldn’t take up my time either. Shouldn’t I dispose of the unused tiles by throwing them in the garbage bin to save time, rather than returning unused tiles?Should I keep the unused tiles I purchased to replace future damaged tiles? Should I store them in the open so they age like the other tiles or keep them in storage so they look like new?This sounds obsessive, however you might be surprised what goes through an architect’s, engineer’s, or tile-setter’s mind.Over and out.
If your measuring a room the best thing to do is get a tape measure and measure the longest parts of the room, including the recesses in the doorways. Measure one length, then another.For yards measure how many feet along both lengths of the room. Times the amount in feet by each other. So length a x length b, then divide by 9 to get how many square yards.Your carpet supplier will understand metric as well and it's easier to work with. So if you use the metres or centimetres on the tape measure, it's simply length a x length b. There's 100 centimetres in a metre and 1000 centimetres in a square metre.P.S. Always remember to measure into doorways.My website answers many questions like this, simply click the link. I also have a specific Q and A section.
How many 18x18" tiles do you need to cover a 360 sq ft area?
Alyssa's answer is absolutely wrong. 18"x18" is NOT a square foot. *** 12"x12" is a square foot. *** First of all, when shopping for tile, no matter the size of the individual tile, the label (or description printed) on the case of tile should tell you how many square feet that individual case holds. 18"x18" is 1.5 sqft. (19 feet x 19 feet is 361 sqft.) My construction math escapes me but if you do 360 sqft divided by 1.5 sqft, the answer is 240. If I'm correct, you would need 240 tiles to cover 360 sqft. (hint: if you used 12"x"12 tiles, you would need 360 tiles to cover 360 sqft because 12"x12" is a square foot). Soooo because an 18"x18" tile covers more space per tile piece, you would need fewer tiles than if you had 12"x12".) Also, it is best to ALWAYS buy a little more tile than needed for future use. ALSO, if you are buying a tile with a pattern that matches up to another tile to continue the pattern, you need MORE tile because of a certain amount of waste. If you are buying tile that is its own individual pattern or a solid color or print (or splatter) over solid, all you need to figure in is extra tile for future replacement. As for either situation...been there, done that. We had to buy MORE tile because 4 pieces completed a pattern. HomeDepot.com and other home improvement stores have How-To links on how to measure (might have one on how to measure) for square footage as well as will have a how-to on how to lay tile. Also, those kind of stores frequently have free hands-on lessons. You'll need to check your local store for more information. Also, check out the schedule of episodes for the TV show DIY (Do It Yourself). They also have a great website: www.diynet.com My husband and I went to a tile store for a 3 hour free seminar on laying tile. After leaving, I felt like I could go home and lay my own tile. I could be wrong on my calculations but tell your parents to please consult with a tile store where they can get the correct information. You did good by asking here too. This forum has been immensely helpful to us too. Take care.
Hi Aisha! Very interesting question. I don't know if there is a right or wrong answer or if it is really a matter of preference. But here's my two cents - I prefer a square room over a rectangular room for a couple of reasons. First of all, a square room has slightly more square footage than a similarly sized room that is rectangular in shape. For example, a room that is 14' x 12' will have less square footage than a room that is 13' x 13'. So in terms of space, you'll have a bit more if your room is square. The second reason I prefer square rooms is that I am all about symmetry and I find that when decorating a space it is easier to keep things symmetrical when the shape of the room is square rather than rectangular. Hope this helps! Cheers!!
