Tile Measurements

This is the time you have to get out the math you learned in school, you know those formula you though you would never use. Well for tiling you just need a simple length x With formula to get square feet in order to order the amount of tiles needed So...


I measured my area as 47"x60"=2820sq.ft.
2820x5%(for errors)=2820x.05=141
Total Square feet tiles needed: 2820+141=2961

I will also need backer board. You can use plywood but since this is under a heavy stove and have heat I am going with the Concrete backerboard.
Now to decide on the tile........
