Vinyl Tile Count for Room with Squared Bump-out

Processing...

The Linoleum (Vinyl) Tile Count for a Room with Squared Bump-out calculator computes the number of tiles needed to cover an area based on the area's dimensions and the size of the tiles.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(L) Room Length
(W) Room Width
(BW) Bump-out Opening Width
(BD) Bump-out Depth
(TW) Tile Width
(TL) Tile Length
(SM) Safety Margin (percent added to estimate)

Tile Count (TC): The calculator returns the number of tiles required to cover the area. The calculator also returns:

(A) Square Feet of Area
(TA) Gallons of Tile Adhesive (Hi - Low Range)

The Math Science

This calculator computes the number of linoleum (vinyl) tiles as follows:

computing the total area of floor with squared bump-out
dividing the total area by the unit dimension of the selected tile.
the safety margin factor is applied (default 10% to account for partial cuts and broken tiles)
the number is rounded up

Adhesive Requirement

When not using self-adhesive tiles, Vinyl Composition Tile Adhesive may be required. The Tile Adhesive range is the low to high range of adhesive requirements for the area based on manufacturer recommendations that a gallon of adhesive covers between 160 and 350 square feet per gallon.

Linoleum and Vinyl Tile Calculators

Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl): This estimates the number of linoleum or vinyl tiles needed for a rectangular area or room based on the area dimensions and the size of the tile. The calculator also provides the adhesive requirement for the area.
Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl) for Room with Angled Bump-out and Number of Tiles (Linoleum or Vinyl) for Room with Squared Bump-out: These calculators estimates the number of tiles needed for an area or room with a bump-out (angled bump-out or squared bump-out) based on the area dimensions and the size of the tile. The calculator also provides the adhesive requirement for the area.
Tile Price Comparison: This determines which box of tile covers the most area per dollar based on the size of tile, number of tile per box and price per box of tile.
Tile Price per Square Foot: This computes the $ per square foot for a box or case of tiles based on the tile dimensions, number of tiles in the box or case, and price of the box.
Tile COST Estimator: This estimates the cost of tiles based on the dimensions of the area, dimensions of the tiles and price per tile.
