A room is 1.8×2.4 m internally. Ceramic tiles are 300×300 mm. A 900 mm door is flush with the internal wall face and has no skirting across its opening. Skirting height is 600 mm. Find total tiles for floor and skirting, as an integer.
Floor requires(1.8/0.3)×(2.4/0.3)=6×8=48 tiles. Skirting length is 2(1.8+2.4)−0.9=7.5 m, or 25 tile lengths. Height 0.6 m requires two tile rows, adding 50 tiles. Total is 48+50=98. No extra wastage allowance is specified.
