How much you need.
The arithmetic uses Mapei's published consumption for Mapeset and the pack sizes we stock. Set your own wastage allowance.

- With 10% wastage
- 55-66 kg
The figures behind it.
- small size tiles in general (trowel No. 4; size 4X4 mm): approx. 2 kg/m²
- normal size tiles (trowel No. 5; size: 5X5 mm): 2.5-3 kg/m²
- external floor and wall coverings (trowel No. 6; size: 6X6 mm): approx. 5 kg/m².
- for mosaics up to 5x5 cm, the use of MAPEI No. 4 square-toothed trowel is recommended (consumption 2 kg/m²)
- for normal ceramic coverings, the use of MAPEI No. 5 notched trowel (consumption 2.5-3 kg/m²) is recommended
- for substrates that have an irregular surface or tiles with a very rough back, the use of MAPEI No. 6 or notched toothed trowel (consumption 5 kg/m²) is recommended
Consumption on site depends on the substrate, the tool and the applicator, which is why wastage is yours to set. The result is a quantity to plan and quote with, not a guarantee of coverage. Confirm the system against the current Mapei technical data sheet before ordering.
