Time includes all of what you just said with 1/8" gaps. From start to finish, how many square feet can you lay down working at a normal pace?That's a subjective question! Ceramic is faster to install than stone. Does the time include preparing the floor and bringing it up to industry specs? In 24 yrs. of installing tile and stone, there are few floors that are ready to install tile on. Will the ceramic tiles have tight joints like 1/16" or 1/8" or be wider like 3/16"? Does this time include grouting and cleanup? Anyone can go in and "slap em down". I'm not being cantankerous, just need to clarify things so no one gets the wrong impression of the time involved.
I used to work on a crew doing malls and J.C. Pennies where we were expected to install 100 feet per hour per man, so if I had someone spreading thinset for me, we'd better be doing 200 feet of tile per hour. Of course, that's wide open, all full tiles. My personal best is 1575 feet in a 12 hour day.
Stone's a little different. I'm happy if I can get 150- 200 feet in a DAY.
hey Adam-- trust me-- your stepdad keeps his eye on the joints, too.![]()
