Bath and Shower – Completing a Bathroom Remodel? Learn How to Measure For Tile

0

People generally avoid decorating the bathroom assuming that it is an extra expenditure. They have got a misconception that bathroom decoration is quite expensive. But this is totally a wrong perception, as you can easily decorate your bathroom with a cheap bathroom accessories set. If you search the Internet, you will be really astonished to see that so many themes are available in the market on cheap bathroom accessories set. All sorts of materials are also available on this theme and you can buy them quite easily, as they are quite affordable.

While choosing the theme for cheap bathroom accessories set, you must see that the theme matches your choice and taste. Some of the themes which are commonly in use include frogs, fish, beach scenes, flowers and tropical. Based on these themes, the items which you can easily decorate include soap, soap dish, drinking cup, toothbrush holder, shower curtain and soap with dish.

Children are perfectly designed for the walk in tub. With a configured seat and easy to use sprayer nozzle, bath time independence is just right around the corner. Furthermore, the easy and safe door entry can be secured for bath time while the water use is actually minimal. Because of the increased depths of the tub, it is not necessary to use as much water

Let’s start measuring the first wall:

  • 5′ wide (60 inches) by 6′ feet tall. 5 X 6 = 30 square feet.

Then you need to measure both end walls:

  • 3′ feet deep (36″) X 6′ tall. 3 X 6 = 18 Square feet.
  • 3′ feet deep (36″) X 6′ tall. 3 X 6 = 18 Square feet.

Then, you need to add the measurements of all three walls together:

  • 66 square feet of field tile is needed for the shower surround.

I recommend to my clients to account for a 20% waste factor when setting tile. Keep in mind the tile could be discontinued, the tile could be on back order for numerous weeks, or many other problems could arise if you run short of tile when remodeling your bathroom. An additional 20% of tile for 66 square feet equals an additional 13.2 square feet of tile. I suggest rounding up the tile to 14 additional square feet for the waste factor.

  • 66 square feet+ 14 square feet = 80 square feet of field tile.

Next you need to measure for the trim pieces to finish the edges of the tile. The trim pieces will finish off the edge of the tile running horizontally on each of the two end walls, and the top of the tile on all three walls running vertically. Trim pieces are sold in linear feet. Trim pieces usually range from 8 inches to 12 inches in length.

In our example, the one wall is 5 feet in length and the two end walls are each 3 feet in length. The tile is set 6 feet above the top of the tub deck; the tub is 14 inches tall. Again, I always round up the measurement to the next highest foot measurement. In this case, I would round 14 inches up to the next highest foot measurement, which is 24 inches (2 feet). Add these two measurements together:

  • 6′ + 2′ (14″ rounded up) = 8′

Remember, you have to finish off the edge of the tile on both end walls, so you need to double this measurement:

  • 8′ + 8′ = 16′

In this example, you need 16′ (linear feet) of trim tile to finish off the edge of the tile for each of the two end walls.

Because of the wide variety of colors and styles it is almost impossible to look for a walk in tub without finding exactly what suits your needs and budget. Safety considerations, water conservation, and space saving technology are just few of the features that you will find on these new versions.

You can pretty much add in whatever feature you’d like including water jets for an in bath massage, a stainless steel grab bar, or even a waterproof Mp3 player. With walk in tubs the sky is the limit for safety features and convenience that simply can not be matched with any other tub
