FORMULA FOR THE COVERAGE CALCULATION: (A + B) kg x C x D x 1.6 = (A x B) m² An example of a grouted battery room = length of tile (mm) = width of tile (mm) = thickness of tile (mm) = width of joint (mm) For sizes not covered by the table, our website www.mapei.com has a calculator available to estimate consumption rates according to the size of the tiles and the width of the joints. are left on the tile surface because it will be very difficult to remove. It is therefore necessary to frequently rinse the sponge with clean water during the cleaning process. When finishing large floor surface...
