How to Calculate Ceramic or Granite Needs For Your Home.

When you want to renovate a building, either a home or office building finishing floors using ceramics or granite becomes an important thing to take seriously.

Why is that? Because of the wrong finishing then the design of the room will be uncomfortable to see.

When going to do floor finishing will certainly do the calculation of the needs of ceramics or granite installed in the building. This calculation is based on the room's area that is the length x width of the room. However, if the room concept requires a wall, then the calculation of material needs becomes a length x width + width x height. This becomes an important focus when you will renovate the building because it will greatly affect the number of materials needed and the costs that must be spent to do the renovation.

The amount of beautiful ceramics or granite for the renovation of the build, the timing of the location of some fine things:

Calculation by Product Size

We know that ceramic and granite products have various sizes, for ceramics usually start from sizes 20x20, 25x40,30x30,30x60 to 60x60, etc. While generally, granite has sizes ranging from 30x60, 60x60, and 120x60, even up to 320x160. By knowing the various sizes of ceramics and granite circulating in the market, you can decide which products you will use.

Calculation by Room Size

Surely, determining the amount of material needs ceramic or granite must be adjusted to the size of the existing room. Let's say the size of the room 3x5 will certainly be different needs with a room size of 4x6. Also, to which areas will be installed, ceramics or granite will determine the bathroom's wall area.

Calculation Based on Installation Pattern

This is not always the case and becomes the main reference for calculating material needs. Still, in an increasingly creative era, the installation of ceramics or granite no longer has to be always symmetrical and neatly arranged. It can also be made patterns according to wishes, for example, made zigzag or abstract. Then, of course, the number of material needs can also change according to the installation pattern made.

From the calculation above, we can draw conclusions and simulations on calculating the material needs for finishing the floor of your home. 

Living room size 4x6 meters = 24 m2, If you use ceramics measuring 50x50 (4 pcs / box) then the calculation is 0.5m x 0.5m x 4 = 1 m2 / box, Then the number of needs is 24 boxes. This way, you can easily determine the amount of ceramic or granite material needs for your home.
