Question

How much tile will I need for a 16'x16' room?

Answer 1

282s/f that gives you an extra 10% for waste and cuts.

Answer 2

If the tile is 12", what is 16x16? They'll figure it out for you whereever you buy it.

Answer 3

Are you serious?  If you were asking how much tile would be needed for a 16' ROUND room, OK, I can see you forgetting how to do that.  But really, this is simple multiplication.

Answer 4

it depends how large the tile is.

if the tile is a standard 1' X 1', you will need 256 tiles...

Answer 5

Just 1 tile (assuming the tile is 16' x 16').

Answer 6

The area is 256 Sq. Ft.

Boxes are generally packed 45 sq. ft.

You will need 6 boxes @ 45 = 270 sq. ft.

If packing  differs, re-calc.

The overage should take care of waste factor.  Usually 5% extra.

Answer 7

Depends on what size tiles you choose 18X24, 16x16 13x13 12x12 6x6 4x4 2x2 etc.

Which ever tile you choose, add a minimum of 10 percent more. each cut has waste and you will want to make sure you have enough in case it is a hard to come by order, not to mention that dye lots are not always the same. Be sure to keep extra on hand even after install in case of chipping or breaking or replacement is necessary for one reason or another

Answer 8

I can only think your asking about flooring.

16 x 16 = 256 sq ft.

Length times width equals square feet.Select your tile and ask for amount to cover that area.I would allow extra for waste.

Good Luck

Answer 9

256 tiles will be needed

Answer 10

No offense but it would help for you to add detail, ESPECIALLY a SIZE tile you have in mind. It will make some differences in how you calculate.

   I'll give you a scenario however. I tile every day of my life, and consider this in your notion. Using 1/4 inch spacers, and 1 ft. tile, you can assume to use up 1 inch of floor space for grout lines, over every 4 ft of space/tile.

   Cove base molding should be removed if it exists, tile should run to within a 1/4 of the perimeters, and again, not knowing your size intent, the math is relatively easy once you have decided.

   Then and in any case you should have no less than 10 % over, for oops and saving to replace, later, should any tiles ever need that.

   Using a 1 ft. tile size as the example, you'd need 256 pieces, but would have to cut those at the perimeter.
