How to Calculate Ceiling Calculator
What is Ceiling Calculator?
A ceiling calculator estimates materials needed for a suspended ceiling system (grid and tiles) or for a plasterboard ceiling, including the grid runner lengths, cross-tees, tiles, and perimeter trim.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Calculate room area: length × width
- 2Divide into 600×600mm or 1200×600mm tile grid
- 3Main runners run across the shorter dimension at 1200mm centres
- 4Cross-tees at 600mm centres create the grid
- 5Perimeter trim around all walls
Worked Examples
Input
Room 6m × 4m · 600×600mm tiles
Result
~40 tiles · 5 main runners · 30 cross-tees · 20m perimeter trim
6×4÷0.36 = 66.7 → 67 tiles with cuts
