Grouting- The final stage of tile laying. The material consumption for the task is an economically important indicator of the repair estimate. Most masters of the building industry calculate the required amount of the mixture for grouting "by eye".This approach makes sense with small amounts of work and a standard tile format. The situation is much more complicated in the case of trowelling of the mosaic seams. In addition, not every apartment owner agrees to overpay.

Calculator for grouting grout for seams will allow to determine the required measure of trowel mixture with a minimum error in a fraction of a second. For the calculation, you need to specify the paving area, the format of the tile and the width of the seam in the corresponding input field, and then click on the "Calculate" button. Online calculator will give a calculation of grout for 1m2 and provide the necessary mass of material in kilograms. To determine the desired number of packs, the total weight in kilograms should be divided by the weight specified by the manufacturer directly on the package.

How to calculate the grout yourself?

The calculation of the trowel required for the jointing of tile joints is to measure the following tile parameters in millimeters:

  • A - length;
  • B - width;
  • C - thickness.

Next, determine the width of the tile joint( D) and the density of the grout( P), which varies between 1.5-1.9 kg / dm3.

The obtained data to substitute in the formula:

( (A + B) * C * D * P) /( A * B) = kg / m2

What does the consumption of the trowelling mixture depend on?

Note that the calculation of the amount of grouting in the provided calculations may contain a small percentage of the error. As a rule, it is up to 8%.This is due to the fact that the online calculation does not take into account the unevenness of the tile, the complexity of the lining, corners, joints with walls or stowage in hard-to-reach places. Of great importance are the professional skills of the master-tiler, which can significantly affect the consumption of material.

Calculation of the trowelling mixture provides compliance with the technology of its preparation. Violation of the proportion will lead to an increase in consumption. Therefore, during the preparation of the mixture you will need a building mixer, water and latex. The period of the grout is up to 10 minutes, after which it can be applied to the seams.

When performing self-supporting work, it is necessary to observe an intertice joint of 1.5-2 mm for walls, 2-3 mm for the floor, which will hide possible defects, avoid cracking of tiles and add aesthetics. From the design point of view, the trowelling mix in one tone with the tile will look like an integral composition, whereas its lighter version will emphasize the geometry of the surface.
