average m's out of a bag

[Russell brown]

I tend to work on 4m2 stick to a 8/10mm notched trowel but everydays a school day for me.

 

[Spare Tool]

Sod it I'm going with 30 bags, not me paying for it just need to get the estimate somewhere near..better off having too much than messing around on last few meters..

 

[andyb1]

Weber adhesive is good stuff, you won't have a problem with that, you should be getting 4-5m per bag.

 

[peteablard]

On a good floor 5m but when calculating for a biggish floor I base in on 4m. Then I only get 3m and have to go and buy more!!:mad2:

 

[Andy Allen]

4.26 exactly !!!!..:smilewinkgrin:

I wouldn't use an 8mm on that size tile, 10mm minimum, try your 8, pop the tile and see what the coverage is like, so often the tiles are bowed so you'll get no to next to no coverage on anything but the edges.

 

[Dash J]

You should be able to safely get 5 meters from an average 20kg bag of adhesive.

I have never had 5m2 out a bag of adhesive in my life

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I'd base quote on 4m2 per bag

I'd say about [emoji113]. [emoji113] this much , maybe just a tad over [emoji106]

 

[Mouldy]

"A tad". Is that the same as "a gnats"? :lol:

 

[kevsalt]

i usually work on 3sqm a bag if its on the walls i like using granfix cfta white standard set ..good gear imo

 

[CJ]

A Tad is a tiny bit more than a smidge.

Thanks for that helpfull reply Craig, when we run out you can go the tile shop and get some more while I stay n keep my meterage up..perhaps you might stay a 'tad' later than 3 oclock a couple of days eh

That's a coincidence, I'm just doing a bathroom with 600x300 porc and an 8mm trowel n back skimming tiles, got there yesterday and had to take 2 off id stuck on the day before due to pipes in wrong place and they wouldnt come off for love nor money, had to replace the plasterboard as they ripped it off the drywall..

Fair enough, I was just making a point about bowed tiles from experience, out of interest, what was the contact like on the back of the tile ?
