we have 27 boxes of tile. each tile is 12 x 12. there are 11 tiles per box. how many sq ft will they cover?

Answer 1

Without reading any answers first, but after installing thousands of sqw. ft. of tile,,,This is a simple math Q,,, and you should be able to figure it out, if you have any notion of doing a DIY. The number of tiles on hand is 297

The size of each tile is a clue. Then to each course of tile, 1/4 inch for grout lines. That equates to adding an inch to every 48 inches of tile you install in any direction.

You seem to only want an answer from us, in doing the math for you,,,no offense, but there are factors you need to consider.

Tile should be installed from a center point, squared in two directions, and planned so that cuts, other than corners, columns, etc., be at the perimeter of the job/rooms. Then allow 1/4 or 1/2 inch at the edges, which will be covered by molding.

Apply the 1/4 suggestion, in grout lines, and figure it out. Allow that the number of tile you begin with may not cover every area you wish,,,or that there may be breakage,,,or that any cut for a corner should be planned to allow the waste piece to possibly be used elsewhere.

Once you've plotted the room, and the amount of tile you'll need, make all the cuts for the edges, if that is a need,,, at the same time.

Don't set the tile in mortar until you gone through the prep process, and know that in fact you will have enough.

Answer 2

27 x 11=297
about 30 ft x 10
not forgeting the grout

Answer 3

depends on how far apart they are spaced, 297 ft square with no grout lines, grout lines of a half inch can add square footage one foot for every 24 tiles

Answer 4

297

Answer 5

You need about 10% wast, so you have about 270 sq ft of coverage.

281
