how many square feet equals 1 foot, want to tile my kitchen its 20by20 feet?
Answers:
manybarrels is correct. Multiply 20 times 20 and you have your answer.
Other answers:
20X20 is 400 square feet. So you need at least 400 tiles.
20X20 is 400 square feet. So you need at least 400 tiles.
you will need 400 tiles. 20x20=400 sq.ft.
Length-X-Width=Sq.Ft.
1 ft = 12 inches
20 x 20 = 400
So 400 tiles are necessary get a few more just in case they brake or need to be cut
That is quite a large kitchen! Is there an Island in the middle?
Then you can subtract a few tiles.
20ft x 20ft is 400 square feet. A tile that is 12 inches (1ft) by 12 inches (1ft) is 1 square foot. 400square feet divided by 1 square foot is 400 tiles.
You will need 400 tiles (20 x 20), plus about 10% for irregular shaped pieces or mistakes you make in measuring and cutting.
you would need 400 tiles.
ALRIGHT NOW THAT EVERYONE AGREES THAT IT'S 400 TILES YOU BETTER BUY MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE MISTAKES,TRUST ME ON THAT
if you know the exact size of you lay out, just count. 400 tiles yes, but if you have cuts then more. for example, if buy a tile that says 12x12 with grout but is actually 11 3/4" and you only want a 1/8" grout line you are losing 1/8 inch every foot. therefore 20 tile across come to 20 feet minus 2 1/2" so you would have to slide the whole grid over half a tile to avoid a 2 1/2" tile against the wall meaning you have 21 by 21 equals 441. lay it out first and count. thats the most accurate way. or add 10% and hope it comes works out. any way buy extra and you can take extra back if you need to.
