TILE SETTING:

CEMENT MORTAR SETTING (50MM OR 5CM)

Wet Volume of the cement mortar required = Area of the room × Cement Mortar Thickness

SAMPLE = 12 m2(AREA OF ROOM) × 0.05 m

Wet Volume of the cement mortar required = 0.6 m3

We need 1.5 m3 volume of wet cement mortar that means, we need this much volume after adding water to cement
and sand mix.

Dry volume of mortar is considered as 25% of more of wet volume.

In order to calculate the dry volume,

Dry Volume of cement mortar = 0.6 m3 X (1+0.25)

= 0.6 m3 X 1.25

Dry Volume of cement mortar = 0.75 m3

Cement and Sand Calculation

Calculate cement and sand for tile flooring, (1:4 ratio)

1 Cement : 4 Sand = Dry Volume of Cement Mortar

1 part of cement : 4 part of sand = 0.75 m3 (Total 5 parts)

So, Cement = 0.75 m3 /5

= 0.15 m3

We know 1 bag of cement = 0.035 m3

Required Cement Bags = 0.15 / 0.035

= 4.29 Bags

Required Cement Bags = 4.3 Bags (Approx)

So, Required Sand = (0.75 m3 / 5) X 4

Required Sand = 0.6 m3

TILE ADHESIVE= FLOOR AREA DIVIDED BY 3m² COVERAGE = TOTAL BAGS ADHESIVE (20KG)

TILE GROUT= FLOOR AREA DIVIDED BY 4SQ.M COVERAGE FOR 60CM TILES = TOTAL TILE GROUT(2KG)
