Is there an easy way using a calculator to work out how many tiles of any given size will fit into any given square metre size.

i.e .. suppose you measure up a single wall area, for example a wall 1.75m x 1.85m so you have 3.24m2 to cover.
Now you have a tile size of 22.5cm x 33cm.
Is there a simple way to work out how many of that size tile will fill your 3.24m2?


Am I correct in saying:
The tile @ 22.5 x 33cm = 0.0726 m2
And now divide the wall area of 3.24 by 0.0726 = 44.62 or rounded up is 45 tiles?
 
yes jimmy thats correct,but remember wastage,breakages etc m8.PMSL MUST BE TOO LATE AT NIGHT FOR U M8,GET TO BED AND RELAX.LOL
 
That will do...always keep spare tiles for the customer....under the bath..or kitchen plinth...they may well thank you......By the way...sorry JB..mathematical....Gaz

Jimmy Boy, if you ring up BAL, they can give you a pocket version of their Professional Fixing Guide. There is a table in there giving a rough guide for different tiles sizes (page 29).:thumbsup:
