Adhesive and Grout quantity calculator

[Bob McLean]

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?

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.

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

I always found that a bit odd, why would they underestimate how much grout was needed? Surely the other way round would be of more benefit to them.

Makes you go back and buy more I suppose. ...
No what you mean though, don't make sense to me either. .

I too have tried unsuccessfully recently to find the Bal quantity generator. A useful tool for grout quantities.
