Understanding the layout
I’m thinking through a 40 square meter building across 3.5 floors, each 2.8 meters tall, with 10 steps per floor. Considering stair and ceramic tile areas.
Figuring out stair area
I’m mapping out the stair area's size by multiplying the number of steps by the tread depth. Considering risers and the total height across the 3.5 floors.
Charting the course
I'm thinking through the stair's dimensions, aiming for a comfortable 0.25 meters tread depth and 1 meter width. Multiplying these by the number of steps calculates the floor area.
Mapping the layout
OK, let me see: I assume 3.5 flights with 10 steps each, tread depth 25cm, and 1m width. This gives about 8.75 sqm, factoring in landings too.
Calculating staircase area
I'm estimating the staircase's surface area, including treads, risers, and adjacent walls, by adding the dimensions of landings and considering tiling needs for all relevant surfaces.
Calculating tread and riser area
OK, let me see. With 35 steps, each 1m wide and 0.25m deep, the total tread area is 8.75 sqm. Adding riser area gives the combined step area.
Optimizing step dimensions
OK, I’m working through the riser height of 0.28m and tread depth of around 0.25m. These dimensions aim for a comfortable step ratio, but I’m aiming to optimize further.
Confirming riser dimensions
Plugging the riser height at 28 cm into standard staircase parameters. This helps in figuring out the tread depth and ensuring overall comfort and accessibility.
Deciding on horizontal run
Hmm, I’m thinking of setting the horizontal run at 3.0 m to make the tread 30 cm wide. This seems like a thoughtful adjustment for a more comfortable staircase setup.
Estimating staircase space
OK, I’m mapping out the staircase area, considering a 1.1 m width, 0.25 m tread, and 10 steps per floor. This seems to align well with the given preferences.
Calculating tile areas
First, I’m picking up the tile for each step (tread and riser). Then, I’m adding landing tiles. This results in a detailed total for all tiled surfaces.
Figuring out final tiles
Estimate 28.7 sqm for stairs and landings. Adding potential skirting tile areas, the overall estimate might inch toward 32-35 sqm.
Piecing together tiling
I’m estimating 30-40 sqm for typical tiling of a 3.5 story building with 10 steps per floor, including potential skirting. This aligns with standard local builder practices.
Breaking down the estimates
I’m working through tiling estimates, thinking landings and side walls might add up to 30 sqm. This provides a starting point for calculations.
Pulling together tiles
OK, let me see. I'm adding both tread and riser areas, from 25 to 35 sqm, for a typical staircase. This should help estimate the total tile area needed.
