Will Counting the amount of Floor Tiles in my Apartment give me the Sq. Ft. of my Apartment.?

Answer 1

The only thing that will give you is a headache. Tiles come in multiple sizes. If you do have 12x12 tiles than it would be a rough estimate because of the gap inbetween each tile. The best way is to map out your apartment on a piece of paper and measure each wall length. Then using some simple multiplication and addition, you will be able to find out your square footage. Ask your landlord. They will have all of the information about each apartment.

Answer 2

Yes, as long as you know the size of the tiles. Any fill pieces along the walls, count as a full tile since the thickness of the walls are part of your sq. footage.
However, from one room to the next, do not duplicate the walls. If the fills are less than 3" or 4", count only once.
If you're speaking of ceramic, it will be off somewhat. Ceramics are sometimes in metrics, and you would miss the grout lines.

Geeze, it would be easier to use a tape line.
Measure into the center of doorways.
If you get feet and inches, you can calculate in decimals for more accuracy.
1"=.08, 2"=.17, 3"=.25, 4"=.33, 5"=.42, 6"=.50, 7"=.58, 8"=.67, 9"=.75, 10" =.83, 11"=.92, 12"=foot.

Kitchens and baths include cabinets. All closets are included.
Multiply width times length.

Answer 3

not really you need to measure the rooms all tiles are 1 sq foot and I'm sure you have cut ones on the edge just measure it out and times L x W = how many you need they come 30 per box so thats 30 sq feet if you want cubic feet LxWxH so if your room is 10 feet by 10 feet that 100 sq feet and each tile is 1 sq foot there you go you need 100 tiles and after you pull them up you may need a torch to heat up the glue to scrape them up next you need to get a floor primer or luon wood and screw it down then put your new tiles down glue will not stick to old glue prime the old floor or buy luon pannels and screw them down remember this when doing a new tile floor find the center of each measurment on both L and W and make a cualk line like a Plus and start in the middle and work your way to the walls this way all the cut peaces are at the walls

Answer 4

If you have 12" tiles and they go wall to wall then yes. Or just measure the length of the room and the width, say it's 12 x 15. just times 15 by 12 and you've got 180 sq. ft.

Answer 5

It can be done but why not just measure the length and width of your apartment. Take the L x W and you have square footage.

It you have 1 big room the floor tile method can work, especially if you have 12" square tiles.

Answer 6

to find the area just measure width and length of a room and then multiply. So if you room is 20 feet in length and 10 feet in width you have 200 sq feet. This is probably easier than counting tiles.

Answer 7

If they are 12"x12" tiles yes. Definitely the hard way. If you don't have a tape measure, Count the tiles on 2 perpendicular walls and multiply. I tape measure would be the easiest, and most accurate. Length time width. will give you the area.

Answer 8

Only if they are 12" by 12". Some floor tiles are not that size.

Answer 9

and only if every bit of your apt is tiled in the 12 x 12 tiles

Answer 10

Measure your ceilings across and length wise, 10 x12 is 120'--do not count closets or pantrys. after you have multiplied all the lengths by the widths add them together and you will have the square feet, or you might look at your lease agreement, most tell the square footage or the landlord should know.
