Generally, Paver Blocks or Chip flooring is used as parking tiles. Size of the Room: The size of the room is calculated and the exact number of tiles required can be calculated. Number of Tiles required =Total Area of the room / Area of Single Tile. Area of Room = L X B = 3.5 m X 4.0 m = 14 m2. Area of Single tile = L X B = 600 mm X 600 mm = 0.6 m X 0.6 m = 0.36 m2. Number of Tiles = Total area of room / Area of Single Tile. = 14.0 / 0.36 = 38.88 ~ 39 Tiles. It is always advisable to take at least 5% extra tiles just in case if any of the installed gets damaged, these extra 5% can be used for replacement. Good Grouting: Use of good tile grout is necessary to keep tiles intact with the slab and this will also enable the correct levelling of the tiles. In traditional ways, the levelling is done by the help of sand then the cement mortar is used as binder between the tile and the sand level.
