To calculate the amount of drywall, profile and related materials for ceiling sheathing, we recommend using an online calculator.
It will allow you not only to choose the right amount of material and related components, save money, but also prompt the assembly technology.
You will not need to think about how much and what to buy in order to sheathe the required surface with sheets of drywall. The online calculator will do all this for you.
The online calculator allows you to calculate the number of drywall sheets, the number of profiles, screws, dowels and related materials.
Of modern facing materials, drywall is considered the most popular in recent years.
With its help, you can independently obtain a surface that does not require additional preparation for further finishing.
But, starting to clad any surface, it is necessary to correctly calculate the need for the required material in order to prevent overspending of funds.
The proposed online calculator describes the principle of calculating the plasterboard surface in one layer.
Knauf sheets are used as facing material.

Calculators from wpcalc.com
The online calculator is a program that allows you to make the necessary calculations for consumables, knowing the dimensions of the surface to be coated.
By entering the required parameters, you get a calculation of the need for all the basic and related materials that provide the ceiling sheathing.
Payment
In order for the program to start calculating, two parameters must be entered into its fields: the length and height of the surface. When trimming a ceiling surface, measure the length and width of the room's ceiling.
Calculation of the amount of drywall, profile begins with measuring the length and width of the ceiling of the room in which the ceiling sheathing is planned.
Convert the resulting values into meters and insert into the appropriate fields.
Do not forget that values must be converted to meters with decimal places.
Having filled in the fields with the dimensions of the surface, it remains to click the "Calculate" button.
The result is given instantly.
The table will indicate the number of gypsum plasterboard sheets required in m², the number of linear meters of profiles, the number of dowels, screws, and various related materials.
To clarify the number of sheets, profiles, you need to know the dimensions of the materials that you plan to purchase.
Example:
If you are using Knauf gypsum plasterboard, then do not forget that the sheets are produced with a size of 1.2 × 2.5 m. The area of each sheet is, respectively, 3.0 m².
Knowing the area of the surface to be faced, we divide it by the area of the sheet purchased for work. We get the required number of sheets.
Using an online calculator to calculate the amount of drywall and profile will tell you how much you need to spend in order to purchase the necessary materials.
The calculator indicates all the necessary materials that are required for high-quality cladding of any area. But to use the advice of an online calculator or calculate it yourself, you will have to decide for yourself.
I wish you success.
