Adhesive and Grout quantity calculator

Not on there anymore Dan.

It's free to sign up to and gives you the QTY of adhesive you need doesn't it?

No way! I didn't look at that part of it the other day to be fair but I swear it used to have it.

When I was at college you had to work out your grout quantities by long winded mathematical formulae containing a GCF(grout coverage figure) then you arrive in the real world and none of the grout manufacturers have this on their bags of grout.

Www.powerspeconline.com still has it.

Powerspec removed the quantity calculator some time back but it was available via tilersworld now Bal have closed that as well.

Imo the bal calculator for grout coverage was laughable
Never achieved the kind of coverage they said I would.

It worked for me. How do you calculate?

 

[Bob McLean]

Tilemaster Adhesives have calculators and we would be happy to do the calculating for you. Just bear in mind though that they are set for our products but will not be far off someone else's similar product. We have grout,levellers and adhesive calculators.

I'm really looking for something on line to do calcs myself

They've closed TilerWorld.com down?

BAL have removed the tool for calculating adhesive and grout quantities. In my opinion it was very good in that it took the what the tile was made from, the surface the tile was to be adhered to, and the room condition before advising which adhesive. Then based on the tile size, thickness and grout space, combined with the surface area it would calculate how much adhesive and grout was required.
With the revamping of the BAL website this tool has gone.
Does any one know of an equivalent or better?

You may find it on here.
