How to calculate the material for a flat plasterboard ceiling. Calculation of material consumption for a plasterboard ceiling. Using the calculator online

Currently, the process of finishing a room is rarely complete without the use of materials such as gypsum board (GKL) and gypsum fiber board. Structures made of these materials are not as simple at first glance as they seem. In addition to the finishing sheets themselves, for the device, for example, the ceiling, special metal profiles, connecting elements, hangers, screws and other trifles are required. therefore calculation of the cost and quantity of drywall, profile and other materials on the ceiling of at least one room is a very troublesome and long process.

To speed up the process, as well as so that you can decide if you fit into the budget, this calculator was created. He is able to calculate two types of premises:

  • Type 1 - rectangular room (ceiling). Here accurately calculated the number and cost of GKL (GVL) sheets, profile and basic elements required for installation. In addition, using this calculator mode, you can determine the dimensions of the profiles.
  • Type 2 - a room of arbitrary area. This is more rough calculation ... Here, only the number and cost of drywall sheets is determined exactly. The number of the profile and other elements required for installation is calculated using average values \u200b\u200b(how much is required per 1 m2).


Instructions

The calculator consists of three parts: a picture, a column where the original data is entered and a column where the result is shown.

Picture

The figure shows plans for the layout of profiles and sheets of gypsum board (GVL), a cross-section of the ceiling and a sheet diagram. Only those parameters are marked on it that are either set or determined after the calculation. If you look at the drawing of type 1 and type 2, you will see that they are very different from each other.

Also pay attention to the layout of the sheets. It shows how to stack sheets correctly from the point of view of specialists. And correctly stacked in a checkerboard pattern.

Initial data

Type 1

Number of layers - choose the required number of plasterboard layers for the ceiling. Plasterboard sheets are sometimes mounted in two layers to avoid unwanted cracks.

Length (L) and width (K) of the room - the size of the room (room) on the ceiling.

GKL sheets (GVL):

Length (A) and width (B) - the dimensions of the drywall sheet or gypsum fiber sheet.

Price for 1 m2 - the cost of the sheet, if it is indicated in sq. m.

Price for 1 piece - the cost of a sheet, if it is indicated for one sheet.

Guides:

Most often, the profiles UD-28 or PN-28 act as guides mounted along the perimeter of the ceiling.

Length - profile length upon purchase.

Price for 1 piece - the cost of one profile.

Main profile:

This is a supporting profile, which in most cases is attached perpendicularly to the long wall of the room. Usually it is a CD-60 or PP-60 profile.

Profile length - length before cutting, i.e. at the time of buying.

Profile step (P) - what is the main step with which this profile is supposed to be mounted. It is usually 600 mm.

Profile width - for CD-60 and PP-60 it is 60 mm.

Price for 1 piece - the cost of one profile.

Jumpers:

The lintel is a profile installed across the main profile. Their length is determined by the pitch of the main profile (P), the width of the profile and the clearance for ease of installation (usually 5 mm). Both CD-60 and PP-60 and UD-28 and PN-28 can be used as jumpers. In other words, you can take a smaller profile width.

Profile length - what size the profile will be purchased.

Profile step (E) - the step with which this profile will be installed. Most often it is 600 mm.

Price for 1 piece - the price for which one profile is bought.

Crabs and pendants:

The crab is the connecting element of the profiles. In other words, it connects the main profile to the lintels.

The suspension is the element that holds the entire ceiling. Usually it is installed on the main profile with the same pitch as the jumpers (E) are installed - see figure.

It only indicates price per 1 crab and 1 suspension.

You can familiarize yourself with the type of profiles and other elements for structures made of gypsum board (GVL), and find out their approximate consumption.

Type 2

Here everything is the same as in type 1. Only the length and width of the room are not indicated, but immediately area (S).
Also introduced in type 2 is such a parameter as perimeter (P)... For example, for a picture, it is P \u003d L1 + L2 + L3 + L4 + L5 + L6 + L7.

The profiles are labeled for clarity. And only profile length and his price.

Result

The calculated values \u200b\u200bappear in this column immediately after clicking on the "Calculate" button.

Type 1

Overlap area - ceiling area.

GKL sheets (GVL):

Number of sheets - the required whole number of sheets of AxB size.

Cost per 1 m2 and 1 piece - the cost of the required number of sheets, depending on what the price was indicated for.

Guides:

amount - the required number of guides of a given length.

The cost - the total cost of the guides.

Main profile:

Length - the length of the profile, which is equal to the width of the room minus 5 mm for ease of installation.

amount - the required number of a profile of a given length.

Distance (X) - if you do not want to divide the length of the room into equal parts, along which the location of the main profile will be determined, but you want to take a certain value, for example, 600 mm, then most often there will be a distance not equal to the step between the last profile and the wall. This is the distance X.

The cost - the total cost of the required number of profiles of a given length.

Jumpers:

Lengths Dl1, Dl2 and Dl3 - the dimensions of the lintels located between the main profile and the wall, the main profile and the main profile.

Number of DL1, DL2 and DL3 - the required number of jumpers on the ceiling with lengths Dl1, Dl2 and Dl3.

Total number of profile - the required number of a profile of a given size, which is then sawn into Dl1, Dl2 and Dl3.

Distance (T) - the same as the X distance for the main profile, only here for the jumpers.

The cost - the total cost of a profile for lintels of a given size.

Crabs and pendants:

Number of crabs and pendants - the required amount of these elements on the ceiling. And I want to note that suspensions are not taken into account at the distance Y, since it can be different. For example, why hang a suspension there if Y \u003d 100 mm. Therefore, if you want to place a suspension in this place, then these new suspensions must be added to the resulting value.

Cost of crabs and suspensions - the cost of the estimated number of crabs and suspensions.

total cost - it consists of the cost of sheets, calculated for 1 piece, the cost of profiles, crabs and hangers.

Type 2

In type 2, almost everything is the same (depending on the initial data), only here you can still find out the number of other consumables besides sheets of gypsum board (GVL), profiles, crabs and suspensions. These are the so-called additional little things:screws, dowels, anchors, etc.

Also note that here one PP-60 profile acts as the main profile and jumpers.

In this section everything about drywall from A to Z, you will learn how to calculate and install single-level ceilings from drywall with your own hands, without having any installation skills before. Before proceeding with installation of plasterboard ceiling, the amount of material should be calculated.

First of all, you should measure the length and width of this room, in which we will install a plasterboard suspended ceiling with our own hands. Consider the example of a rectangular room with a length of 5600 mm and a width of 3100 mm. fig 1.
These dimensions are taken arbitrarily, as an example. Be sure to measure all four sides of the room. If the dimensions of the walls opposite each other are not the same, in that case, the width and length should be taken as a basis. This means that in this room the corners do not have 90 degrees.

If we take two large walls (width and length) as a basis, then when calculating the ceiling, we will already take this into account. In the section, you will see how important this is.

First of all, you should calculate the perimeter of our premises.
P \u003d (5600 + 3100) x2 \u003d 17400 mm (17.4 m / p). Let's calculate how much and how long, we need to take the UD-27 profile. If we decide to install it with a 3-meter profile, and our width is 3100 mm, in this case, on two sides, the whole profile will not be enough for us, and mounting a 100 mm piece is quite problematic! Therefore, we'd better choose 4000 mm.
17400/4000 \u003d 4.35 pcs.

That is, 5 UD-27 profiles of 4000 mm (4 m). Figure 2 shows the sequence in which the profiles are mounted. We consider only the calculation of profiles. In detail how to mount, we will analyze further in the section.

With the UD-27 profiles, we figured it out, let's now see how to calculate the CD-60 profile (frame). We come out of the fact that the size of our plasterboard sheet is 2500x1200x9.5 mm. Based on the fact that the width of the room is much less long, the main guides of the profile,
we will mount on shir not, that is, 3100 mm.
You can also mount the main frame profiles in length, this will also be correct, but the installation of longer profiles is much more difficult than short ones, despite their smaller number. You should also go out of the feasibility of installing gypsum plasterboards, so that there would be as little waste from drywall.
Remember! Sheets must be installed along the length of the main CD-60 profiles, fig. 3.

Starting from the wall ( for example from left to right) every 600 mm we will install a guide profile.
5600/600 \u003d 9.3 pcs, that is, in our case, 9 profiles came out in Fig 4. The last profile stands at 5400 mm, and the distance to the wall is 200 mm. The question will arise, should it be asked? If we take the distance from the 8th profile, it will be 800 mm, which is quite a large size. If the last profile is not installed, there will be nothing terrible, but when installing a drywall board, it will be quite ma
there is a place for fastening screws. Which in turn will weaken the entire plasterboard ceiling. So, the profile is still needed . And so we need 9 profiles of 4000 mm (4m). From each profile, we will have 900 mm. But do not rush to throw them away, these pieces may still be useful to us. After calculating the CD guide profiles, you should choose at what distance from the floor, you should install the plasterboard ceiling. Depending on the size of the span between the metal frame and the ceiling, you should select the required installation element.

If you install the ceiling as high as possible to the ceiling, that is, the minimum size will be 27 mm (profile height UD-27), and the maximum size does not exceed 120 mm, in that case, it will suit us straight suspension.

But it happens that this plasterboard ceiling needs to be lowered by 500 mm, or even more, in which case a spring suspension with wire is used. The length of the wire is selected depending on how much it is necessary to lower the suspended ceiling. In our case, we will assume that this suspended ceiling will not be lower than 120 mm from the ceiling, therefore, a spring suspension will not be useful to us.

Let's calculate the number of direct suspensions of a single-level plasterboard ceiling.


Starting from the wall, at a distance of 300 mm, the first suspension is mounted. Further every 600mm, the remaining rice 5 is attached.
Suspensions are conventionally marked with a black cross. We need 5 suspensions for one profile. 5x9 \u003d 45 pcs. For this suspended ceiling, we need 45 direct suspensions.

After installing the guide profiles on the hangers, the lintels are mounted.

Installation of jumpers is also done from the CD-60 profile.
But before that, it should be fixed on the CD-60 profile guides, a single-level connector ( crab)
fig 6.
Blue squares, conventionally designated crabs.

The crab montage is detailed in the section. Crabs are mounted between hangers, at a distance of 600, 650 mm, from each other. On one profile in our example of a ceiling, 4 crabs are mounted. 4x9 \u003d 36 pcs. For this design, we need 36 crabs.

The next step in installation of a single-level suspended ceiling made of plasterboard, installation of jumpers. Jumpers are inserted both between crabs and between crabs and UD-27 profile.
Figure 7, in blue, shows all the jumpers from the CD-60 profile. How the jumpers are mounted, see section.

From Figure 7, you can see that, in contrast to the suspended plasterboard ceiling, is a kind of mesh made of metal profiles, with a cell measuring 600x600mm, or 600x650mm. This does not mean that the cell should only be of this size, but you should remember the size of 600x600 mm, it is ideal and, if possible, you need to adhere to these dimensions. Another very important nuance in the installation of jumpers. Crabs with jumpers at an elevation of 2500mm (2.5 m) from the wall, where the plasterboard will end, must be set strictly in size. That is, the center of the jumpers should be at 2500 mm (2.5 m). Details in the section. And so, the size between the centers of the main profiles is 600 mm, we subtract 30 mm from each side. 600-60 \u003d 540 mm. 540 mm is the distance between the profiles. For convenient installation, we will subtract another 5mm.
535 mm, final lintel size, between crabs.
Between the crab and the UD-27 profile, the size should also be measured.
In our case, there are two sizes.

On the left side 600-30-5 \u003d 565 mm and on the right side 200-30-5 \u003d 165 mm. Figure 8. But this is only when the walls are parallel, as in our example. If this is not the case ( as in most cases), then you should measure each bridge between the crab and the wall. These sizes will differ from each other.
We need 32 pcs. 535 mm each, 4 pcs. 565 mm each and 4 pcs. 165 mm each. If you haven't forgotten yet, we still have 9 unused pieces. profiles of 900 mm (0.9 m). 565 + 165 \u003d 821 mm.
From four of them, we cut off 821 mm each ( we will use for jumpers between the crab and the wall).
The remaining 5 pieces, cut by 535mm. Only 27 items left. 535 mm each.
27x535 mm \u003d 14 445 mm (14.445 m).
14 445/4000 \u003d 3.61 pcs. These are 4 profiles of 4000 mm (4 m).

The calculation of the metal frame of a single-level plasterboard ceiling with your own hands is completed.

Let's summarize:

To mount a metal frame, we need:
Profile UD-27 5 pcs. 4000 mm each (4 m).
Profile CD-60 13 pcs. 4000 mm each (4 m).
Straight hanger 45 pcs.
Crab 36 pcs .

The next step would be calculation of gypsum plasterboards... For details on how to properly join gypsum plasterboards, see the section. Let's get down to the calculation of gypsum plasterboards. In our example, we will use sheets of 2500x1200x9.5 mm. The sheets should be displaced relative to each other, at a distance of not less than one transverse profile, that is, not less than 600-650 mm, in a checkerboard pattern. Starting from the upper left corner, you should calculate the number of sheets in Fig. 10. For this suspended ceiling, you need 5 whole plasterboard sheets, as well as two sheets, cut into 4 pieces, 600x1200 mm in size. And from the 8th sheet we will cut out a piece measuring 800x600 mm. In this case, we need
i 8 drywall sheets.

This completes the calculation of a single-level plasterboard ceiling.

To mount the profiles to the wall, we need hammer-in dowels, more often a 6x40mm or 6x60mm dowel is used, depending on the quality and thickness of the wall onto which the dowel needs to be driven. Dowels are attached to the wall at a distance of 300-400 mm. The profiles are connected (among themselves), ( to direct suspensions), (profile with crabs), self-tapping screws type LN 9, LN 11 ( self-tapping screw, with a sharp end), or LB 9, LB 11 (self-tapping screw with drilling end). To mount the profile to one suspension, 4 self-tapping screws are used. Also for mounting a crab, use 4 pcs. To fix one profile with a crab, use 2 self-tapping screws.

The main attribute of almost any repair, especially European renovation, are plasterboard structures. This is not surprising. After all, from the gypsum board (GVL), now you can "blind" practically any partition or ceiling... For example, drywall is most often used for the device of a multi-level ceiling.

In addition, these structures are quickly erected and are relatively inexpensive. True, there is one drawback - a rather large nomenclature. So, if you decide to independently build partitions and a ceiling made of gypsum plasterboard sheets in your apartment, and at the same time comply with all technology, then you will have to stock up on more than one type of profile and screws. You will also need dowels, reinforcing mesh, putty, primer, hangers and connecting elements.

All this must be purchased in the amount required (or with a small margin) for a given design. And for this you need to calculate the required amount of drywall and profile for the ceiling or wall (partition). Therefore, for those who want to build such structures, this page was created, on which an approximate material consumption for the most common drywall structures:

  • ceiling;
  • wall structures;
  • partitions.

Initially, the implementation of a certain complex of construction and installation work requires a calculation of the material consumption. At first glance, calculating drywall to the ceiling is not a difficult task.

To determine the required number of drywall sheets, you will need to measure the perimeter of the room and calculate its area. This is all, of course, correct. But, do not forget, the installation of a suspended ceiling involves an additional calculation of the number of metal profiles, screws, suspensions, anchors and crabs.

Among other things, the dimensions of drywall sheets differ significantly from the parameters of the room. Therefore, you should take into account their trimming or cutting out the necessary structural elements. The gypsum plasterboard calculator for the ceiling will allow you to calculate the required number of sheets, as well as fasteners for their installation: dowels, profiles, extensions, screws and anchors.

How to calculate drywall ceiling?

Installation of a single-level ceiling provides for the calculation of a profile for plasterboard on the ceiling. To do this, you need to take measurements of the room: measure the width and length of the walls, and then calculate the perimeter. The amount of profile required is determined by a simple formula. The value of the ceiling perimeter should be divided by the length of the produced metal profile. As a result, we get the required number of material in pieces.

The calculation of the profile for the frame depends on the size of the drywall sheet. Considering the fact that the profile should be placed on both edges and in the middle of the sheet, with its width of 1.2 m, the step will be 0.6 m.Next, the width of the wall should be divided by 0.6 m, and the resulting value in pieces should be multiplied again by 0, 6 m. The initial value should be equal to the width of the wall.

When calculating the required number of suspensions, it is important to consider that the first element is installed 0.3 m from the wall. In the future, their step coincides with the step of the metal profile. Installation of crabs is carried out at a distance of 0.6 m between the hangers.

When calculating the required amount of dowels, the step of their fastening is taken into account, which is 0.3 -0.4 m from each other. To mount one metal profile, you will need four self-tapping screws. The same number will be required to install the crab plus two self-tapping screws to attach it to the profile.

The given example of calculating a single-level ceiling is much simpler than calculating the consumption of building material for more complex structures. An online calculator for a plasterboard suspended ceiling will allow you to quickly determine the required number of gypsum plasterboard sheets, metal profiles and fasteners. To do this, you need to specify the value of the area and perimeter of the ceiling in the appropriate input field, click the "Calculate" button. The online calculator will give the required calculations within a few seconds, eliminating the need to perform long independent calculations.
