1. What is the Mariwasa Tile Calculator?

The Mariwasa Tile Calculator helps determine the number of tiles needed to cover a specific area. It uses a simple formula that accounts for the area to be covered and the size of each tile.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( tiles \) — Number of tiles needed (rounded up)
• \( area \) — Total area to be covered (square feet)
• \( tile\_area \) — Area of one tile (square feet)

Explanation: The calculation divides the total area by the area of one tile and rounds up to ensure complete coverage.

3. Importance of Accurate Tile Calculation

Details: Proper tile calculation helps avoid purchasing too few tiles (leading to project delays) or too many tiles (wasting money). It's especially important for Mariwasa tiles which come in specific sizes and quantities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips:

• Measure the total area accurately in square feet
• Check the exact size of the Mariwasa tiles you plan to use
• Add 5-10% extra tiles to account for cuts and breakage

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why round up the number of tiles?
A: Rounding up ensures you have enough tiles to cover the entire area, as you can't purchase a fraction of a tile.

Q2: How do I account for tile wastage?
A: Add 5-10% to your calculated number to account for cuts, breakage, and future repairs.

Q3: What if my area isn't rectangular?
A: For complex shapes, divide the area into rectangular sections and calculate each separately before summing.

Q4: How do I convert square meters to square feet?
A: Multiply square meters by 10.764 to get square feet (1 m² = 10.764 ft²).

Q5: Where can I find Mariwasa tile specifications?
A: Check Mariwasa's official website or product packaging for exact tile dimensions and coverage information.
