Determine the number of square feet of resilient flooring needed for the office building in Figure 16.15. Add 5 percent for waste. How many gallons of adhesive are needed using a coverage of one gallon per 150 square feet of floor?

What will be an ideal response?


The quantity of flooring and adhesive is calculated as follows:

Flooring = 11?9? × 28?4? + 11?9? × 11?6? + 11?9? × 11?10? + 11?9? × 11?10? + 11?9? × 15?10?

Flooring = 333 sf + 135 sf + 139 sf + 139 sf + 186 sf = 932 sf

Add waste.

Flooring = 932 sf × 1.05 = 979 sf

Gallon of adhesive = 932 sf / 150 sf per gallon = 6.21 gallons – Order 7 gallons
