Palitada - Construction

[earthlyken]

Hello good morning,

quick question lang po, gaano po karaming bags of cement magagamit pang palitada sa pader loob labas sa box type na 8x10 (82 sqm) na bahay?

or gaano kalaki mapapalitada ng isang bag of cement?

hope to hear from you soon..

yuor answer will be greatly appreciated...ty

That depends.

Usually if the wall is "squalado" palitada or wall finishing should be minimal. Thickness may vary from 1/2 to 1 inch. This would be rough finish, followed by a smooth finish (surface ready for painting).

For the size given, its more convenient to order materials by bulk, like 1 elf of sand, and 25 bags of cement. Pag hindi lahat nagamit ang cemento, you can still use it for smooth finishing. Take note that it could take more materials, so its best if you have it estimated by a mason.

I also suggest you mix "sahara" or "morta-seal" into your palitada mix. These will act as waterproofing agents on the wall exposed to the elements.

Sir ung ratio ng cement to sand ay naglalaro sa 1 bag cement = 5 bags of sand (or 6 bags kung maganda quality ng buhangin).

Ung bag po ang simple measurement sa construction, 1 bag = 1 cu.ft. = 0.028 cu.meter

Hindi din po kasi maganda ung konti ang sand kasi po mainit ang cement during curing and may lead to cracking ng surface.

ung thickness po ng plaster ang mag determine kung ilan po ang magagamit nyo na cement at sand. kung pantay po ang pag asintada ng hollow blocks mga 15mm or 0.015m pwede na.

kaya sa 8m x 10m x 0.015m = 1.2 cu.m

1.2cu.m = 42.37cu.ft ito po ung magagamit mong plastering material. (43 bags of sand)

say 45 bags of sand ang gamitin mo, better na ung sobra kesa kulangin ka

45 sand / 5 = 9 bags of cement

pa check mo din sa mason na gagawa pero ung material na gagamitin mo hindi naman nalalayo sa estimate na yan.

saka kung wala kang sementadong lugar kung saan ka pwede mag halo, add ka ng 2 bag ng cement kasi un waste mo pag sa top soil ka naghalo.

Hello po, ty for the detailed breakdown..just a clarification lang po, when you say 9bags of cement then 45 bags of sand, it will covers all the walls ng 8x10 na bahay po? Inside and out na pader po? Or just 1 wall lang po? Sorry medyo slow ako..hehe
