HOW TO CALCULATE THE AREA AND ALL RELEVANT FACTORS
It is very important to correctly calculate the quantity of tiles to order, in order to avoid problems due to differences in tone or size in the case of order additions.
First you need to know the size of the surface area to be paved.
Once the square meters of the area have been determined, the percentage of waste must be calculated, this is to say how many tiles will be rejected due to any construction site cuts.
Usually 8 % of waste is considered for Atom Stoneware, but the percentage may depend on some factors such as:
- dimensions of the joints
- regularity of the area to be paved: rectangular or square areas imply less waste then irregular areas.
- presence of columns or low walls or other elements
- manual skill of the installer, this is a difficult figure to calculate, but important for recovering various tiles through cuts on site
These factors must be verified on the basis of site requirements with the designer and installer before placing the order.
TILES DEFECTIVENESS REQUIRED BY THE UNI EN 14411 STANDARD
In addition to these factors, a percentage of tiles that could be defective as set out in the UNI EN 14411 standard must also be considered.
This standard establishes a maximum tolerance of 5 % of defective tiles even in the first choice; some can still be recovered to make cuts on site, while other will have to be discarded.
QUANTITY OF STYLES TO KEEP IN STOCK
In addition to the aspects seen, which will determine the percentage quantity of tiles to add to the net surface, the opportunity to keep some spare tiles at the end of the work should be kept in mind.
This will allow us to repair the floor should the need arise. In the case of job continuations, there may no longer be the same shade or the same caliber as the used batch.
