Wall ceramics/tiles work, what is needed?

Greetings, how are you steemit friends? Hopefully keep the spirit of the day, still continue the discussion on the needs of labor and materials on construction work. Today I will discuss the work of wallcoverings, or the installation of wall tiles.

Wall ceramic covering work is often found in toilets, operation / surgery and so on.

The use of ceramic on the wall is intended to prevent dirt / stains in the form of liquid or other does not stick to the wall and damage the wall.

As in the use of toilets intended for soap and water splashes are not absorbed by the walls, so does the operating / surgical room intended to avoid attaching dust to walls and damage operation / surgical equipment.

Ceramics derived from the Greek keramikos word meaning a form of clay through the burning process. [1]

At first ceramics only shaped pottery, tile, porcelain and so on so that the use of ceramic words on the floor and wall has not been so well known.

The floor tiles and walls are then developed made of clay and as a gloss coated with glazing, but there are two types of ceramics contained in the market are ceramic with glazing layer and porcelain tile (homogoneus tile). [2]

In the market we can find a variety of types and motives and sizes, each product offers their respective advantages, such as material that lasts cheap prices and so forth.[3]

Excess ceramic / tiles as wallcovering is. [4]

• Strong and durable.
• Not absorb water.
• Easy maintenance.
• Large selection of sizes, motifs and colors.
• Easy to find.

The shortage of ceramics / tiles as wallcovering is. [4]

• Brittle.
• The connection will affect the final result.
• Sometimes it is difficult for the same motif in use over the next few years.

Wall tiles is distinguished by floor tiles, in addition to price and size of wall thickness is also different. Wall tiles is relatively thinner than the floor tiles.

In accordance with its type, ceramics are divided into several qualities depending on precision and shine produced. [5]

Once we have a little knowledge about ceramics then it's time we make calculations and needs of labor and material on the wallcovering work.

ANSWER

---

To complete the calculation of the work then I will calculate the total area of wall tiles.

AREA CALCULATIONS OF WALL

---

Is known :

Items	Information	Amount
Area of area A	1.37 x 1.60	2,192 m2
Area of area B	1.37 x 1.60	2,192 m2
Area bisang C	1.37 x 1.60	2,192 m2
Area width D	0.59 x 1.60	0.944 m2
Area of A + B + C + D	2,192 + 2,192 + 2,192 + 0,944	9,712 m2

CALCULATION OF LABOR AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

---

I use technical analysis in accordance with Indonesian National Standard [6] to complete the calculation of labor and material requirements on wallcovering work.

To finish 1m2 wallcoverings using wall tiles the size of 25 x 40 cm is required.

Needed.

Items	Amount
Wall tiles dim. 25x40cm	1,060 m2
Portland cement	9,300 Kg
Sand plug	0.180 m3
Color cement	1,940 Kg
Workers	0.900 Person per day
Stonemason	0.450 Person per day
Foreman	0.045 Person per day
Overseer	0.045 Person per day

In accordance with the above coefficient then the calculation with the area of need is.

Items	Information	Amount
Wall tiles dim. 25x40cm	1,060 x 9,712 = 10,295 m2
Portland cement	9,300 x 9,712 = 90,322 Kg
Sand plug	0.180 x 9,712	1,748 m3
Color cement	1,940 Kg x 9,712 m2	18,841 Kg
Workers	0.900 Person per day x 9,712	8,741 Person
Stonemason	0.450 Person per day x 9,712 m2	4,370 Person
Foreman	0.045 Person per day x 9,712 m2	0.437 Person
Overseer	0.045 Person per day x 9,712 m2	0.437 Person

• Total number of wall tiles

Is known.

Items	Information	Amount
Ceramic size	25 x 40 cm	0.10 m2
Amount / m2	1.00 / 0.10	10.00 Units per meter
Needs x Units per meter	10,295 x 10.00	102,947 Units / pieces

Rounded 103 units / pieces, this rounding has taken into account the clipped and defective ceramic / tiles unit.

---

CONCLUSION

---

To finish the work of wallcovering with wall ceramic / tiles dim. 25 x 40 cm like the picture above is required.

Items	Amount
Wall Ceramic/Tiles dim. 25x40cm	103 Units / chips
Portland cement	90.322 Kg
Sand plug	01,748 m3
Color cement	18,841 Kg
Workers	8,741 Person
Stonemason	4,370 Person
Foreman	0.437 Person
Overseer	0.437 Person

After the calculation of labor requirements and the material is completed is calculated then to determine the amount of price, you can directly make the multiplication of the price of labor or material in your respective place.

This calculation is only an example and can be used by anyone, this calculation is in accordance with technical analysis of Indonesian National Standard and can be developed in accordance with the needs of the field.

After this calculation is complete it is expected that young engineers to continue to develop knowledge for the realization of a better civilization.

this is all I can write on this occasion for all the mistakes and lack of writing as a servant of God, I apologize.

Thanks to friends who have visited this blog and provided constructive comments and to scientists who are willing to sacrifice their time and provide knowledge to us.
