Hi,

I have a room with the following dimensions: length=14 feet, width =20 feet and I'd like to pour a floor 6 inches high. What ratio of sand, stone and cement is needed to cover this area. I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Vijai

Vijai,

You can use our volume calculator to find the volume of material that you need but amounts of the individual materials will depend on the specific materials you use. I suggest that you calculate the volume and then talk to the dealer who is going to sell you the materials.
