Having the right amount of Kerakoll Grout is very necessary for a tiling project. The correct amount will help you to seat your tiles properly in their place and will also help you give the right finish to the appearance of your project. However, in order to find out the ideal amount that you will need for the project, you will need to consider certain factors and calculations.
So, let’s see how to assess the right amount of Kerakoll Grout for your tiling project in Dubai.
- Take Measurements of the Project Area
The measurements of your tiles and project area are going to be needed in order to calculate the amount of Kerakoll Grout required for your tiling project. The first measurement you should take is of the area where the tiling project will take place. Measure the width and length of your space and calculate the area of the space.
- Measure Your Tiles
Once you have measured your project area, you can now proceed forward with calculating the dimensions of your tile. Make sure that the tiles are clean and then measure the height, width, and thickness of your tile. Once you have measured your tiles, you will need to ascertain the gap between the joints of each tile that you wish to install.
Take measurements of the height and depth of each joint. The tile dimensions can also be found on the packaging of the tiles, making their measurements easy to acquire.
- Calculate the Required Amount
With all the necessary measurements now you need to apply the right formula to calculate the Kerakoll Grout needed for your project. The formula and steps that you need to follow are mentioned below:
- Step 1: Tile width + tile height = V
- Step 2: Size of spacers x tile thickness = W
- Step 3: V x W x 1.2 = X
- Step 4: Width of your tile x Height of your tile = Y
- Step 5: X / Y = Z. This will give you the amount of grout needed in kg/sq m
- Step 6: Z x Total area of your project= Total grout your project requires
You can find the figures regarding your Kerakoll Grout on the packaging. Check them to ensure you are buying the right amount for your tiling project.
- Remember to Get Some Extra Amount
It is a wise decision to get 10-15% extra than your required amount in order to account for any wastage or spillage during the project. So, don’t hesitate to buy a little more Kerakoll Grout than you need.
Conclusion
