This seems a real headache for many people, but
when you know the right way it is simple.
Unless
you are measuring up for a large single area, it is not
a good idea to work in square meters (or square anything
else) as it is likely to be inaccurate. We always
calculate the number of single tile.
Extras
Don't forget that you may also need a brass angle strip
to put along the edge of any finished tiling where it butts
up against another type of flooring.
On
steps you may need an edging of step treads. We always allow
an extra 10% for cuts, breakages and spares.
At
SOGO Vitrified Tiles we have dozens of people each week
chasing old tiles to replace where a pipe has burst, or
to repair an area. It pays to keep spares. Put them in your
ceiling space or in the shed.
Always
make sure that the tiles selected are suitable for the area
to be tiled. SOGO Vitrified Tiles are here to assist.
Expansion
Joints
Floors and walls of all buildings are subject to some movement.
Always contact your local SOGO Vitrified Tiles store for
advice on expansion joints, their positioning and placement.
