TEC® Skill Set™ Launches Coverage Calculator on Website

New Online Calculator Tool Makes Tile Installation Easier for Contractors

Publish Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2015

AURORA, IL…TEC® Skill Set announces the launch of its Coverage Calculator tool to help professionals accurately estimate the amount of installation materials needed for tile projects. 

The TEC® Skill Set Coverage Calculator allows professional contractors to calculate the estimated amount of surface preparation products, mortars and grouts necessary for a customers’ project. It also calculates mastic, underlayment and membrane coverage to tell users exactly what to buy among the many variables involved. Contractors simply enter the project’s specifications – including square footage, tile size and size of grout joint – and product estimates are reported in pounds and gallons or bags and pails.

The Coverage Calculator also links to more information about each product, giving the user a better idea of their specifications. All products on the Calculator can be found at select Lowe’s Home Improvement stores, and the tool includes a convenient feature to find the Lowe’s nearest to the user.

With the Coverage Calculator, estimating and bidding for jobs is easier and more accurate. Not only does it save time, the calculator reduces waste of product and money. The tool is mobile friendly for smartphones and tablets so contractors can plan projects from virtually any location.

“We are excited to provide this new TEC® Skill Set Coverage Calculator tool, which reflects our commitment to help contractors plan and install tile jobs more easily and efficiently,” says Kristin Fritts, Marketing Director at H.B. Fuller Construction Products Inc., the manufacturer of TEC® Skill Set® brand products.  

The Coverage Calculator is available at tecskillset.com/coverage-calculator
