The Polyblend Grout Calculator is a valuable tool designed to assist users in determining the amount of grout needed for a specific project. It simplifies the process by providing accurate calculations base on essential variables such as the Area you want to Grout, the depth of grout, and the grout coverage.
Formula of Polyblend Grout Calculator
The formula utilized by the Polyblend Grout Calculator is as follows:
Grout Needed (in lbs) = (Area to be Grouted (in square feet) × Depth of Grout (in inches) × Grout Coverage (in lbs per square foot)) / 144
Where:
- Area you want to Grout: The total area in square feet that requires coverage with grout.
- Depth of Grout: The thickness of the grout layer in inches.
- Grout Coverage: The amount of grout required per square foot, typically specified by the manufacturer.
General Terms Table
Here’s a table outlining example grout quantities needed for different areas assuming a grout depth of 1/8 inch and average Polyblend grout coverage of 12 pounds per square foot:
| Area to be Grouted (sq. ft.) | Estimated Grout Needed (lbs) |
|---|---|
| 50 | 4.2 |
| 100 | 8.3 |
| 150 | 12.5 |
Remember: These are general estimates and may vary depending on the specific Polyblend grout product you use and the actual depth of your grout application.
Example of Polyblend Grout Calculator
Suppose you have a tiled area measuring 100 square feet with a grout depth of 0.25 inches and a grout coverage of 0.5 lbs per square foot. Using the Polyblend Calculator:
Grout Needed (in lbs) = (100 sq ft × 0.25 inches × 0.5 lbs/sq ft) / 144 = 0.1736 lbs
