To calculate the total volume of grout needed:
\[ \text{Grout Volume per sq ft} = \frac{(\text{Tile Length} + \text{Tile Width}) \times \text{Joint Width} \times \text{Tile Thickness}}{\text{Tile Length} \times \text{Tile Width}} \]
\[ \text{Total Grout Volume} = \text{Grout Volume per sq ft} \times \text{Total Area} \]
Grout coverage refers to the amount of grout needed to fill the joints between tiles over a specified area. It is essential for ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing tile installation[^1^][^2^].
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Grout Volume per sq ft} = \frac{(12 + 12) \times 0.125 \times 0.25}{12 \times 12} = 0.0052 \text{ cubic inches} \]
\[ \text{Total Grout Volume} = 0.0052 \times 100 = 0.52 \text{ cubic inches} \]
The total grout volume needed is 0.52 cubic inches.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Grout Volume per sq ft} = \frac{(24 + 24) \times 0.1875 \times 0.375}{24 \times 24} = 0.0059 \text{ cubic inches} \]
\[ \text{Total Grout Volume} = 0.0059 \times 200 = 1.18 \text{ cubic inches} \]
The total grout volume needed is 1.18 cubic inches.
