Tile Care

Proper cleaning of tiles should be carried out without the use of abrasive powders, metal and other hard brushes. Such surface treatment will lead to the formation of microcracks, where dust, dirt and soap will constantly accumulate. In the resulting damage, pieces of metal scrapers can get stuck, which will lead to rust. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the recommendations of the manufacturers before washing the surfaces. These formulations should be immediately purchased after repairs and constantly used for cleaning.

  2. Multiply the length of each trim element by its height;
  3. Divide the number obtained in paragraph 1 by the number of 2 points.

When dividing walls, using different types of finishes, such a calculation must be carried out for each type. If masonry with an offset will be carried out, then it is better to use a special program for work. Counting can be carried out both in meters and in centimeters. The calculation of the amount of flooring is done by dividing the floor area by the area of ​​one tile. For direct laying, 5% should be added to the resulting number, and for non-standard laying (offset, diagonal) - 10%. Such a safety net will help to acquire a sufficient amount of materials.
