room 8'x8'x6' using 16" tile how many needed to cover ?

Answer 1

No matter that you confused this by adding the 6 ft notation, and without doing 8th grade math for you; I suggest you consider the grout lines in your calculations. On a floor the usual is 1/4 inch. That equates to adding an inch to every 3 tiles you set @16 inches each. Hence 48 inches plus 1 for grout lines.

Answer 2

area of each surface is length times width
i assume the ceiling is 8 ft high (a 6 ft high room would be a very low ceiling).

so the floor is 8' x 6'
along the 8' dimension you need
8 feet divided by 16 inches
you can either convert the feet to inches or inches to feet, i'll do the latter: since 1 ft = 12 inches, 16 inches = 4/3 feet
so 8 / (4/3) = 6
similarly, along the 6 foot side, you need
6 / (4/3) = 4.5
so you'll need 4 full tiles and half a tile. rather than assuming you'll be able to reuse left over halves, consider you'll need 5

so we need 6 * 5 = 30 tiles to cover the floor (and maybe a few extras in case of problems)

if you were covering one of the 8 by 8 walls, you'd need 6*6 tiles = 36 tiles but there are two of these such walls, so double it to 72 tiles

the other two walls are the same size as the floor so you need 30 tiles for each = 60 tiles for both

likewise the ceiling is the same size as the floor, so another 30 tiles.

so if you are covering all walls, the floor ceiling, then you need
3*30+2*36=162 tiles (plus extras)

if you're not covering all surfaces, just add up the amount needed for the surfaces you are covering

Answer 3

Regardless of the number of tiles you end up needing, go ahead and buy at least a dozen extra in case of breakage and if one needs to be replaced at a later date--then you'll have the same dye lot.

As for figuring the grout lines for your small area, don't even worry about that part--in fact, narrower grout lines look great with tiles 16" and larger, especially if they have a high gloss finish and if you're doing a shower enclosure.

Answer 4

Sounds like you're doing a bathroom shower enclosure. 36 for the floor, 30 for each wall,(6' up, you have to cut the top tiles in half to 8")

Answer 5

if the width of the room is 8', divide it by 16" say 6 pcs, and your the lenght is 8' again, say 6 pcs, multiply 6 by 6pcs you've got 36 pcs of tile, you mention a 6' what it is a ceiling height, we'll just follow the formula above for the 6' which is 5 pcs, add spare tiles for cutting and repairs say 5 pcs extra

Answer 6

What???? What do u mean 8 x 8 x 6????? An 8 X 8 room equals 64 square ft. But no one know what that extra 6 feet is for unless you give us more details....

Answer 7

24

Answer 8

Um...why are you tiling the floor AND the walls?

Anyway, you need 36 tiles for the floor. I'm not doing your walls. This is either a bad math question, or you just gave an extra dimension.

Good luck!
