How to calculate gypsum cardboard

If you have decided to use sheets HL as finishing material, then at early stage of repair of the room you need to execute calculation of quadrature of gypsum cardboard. This operation will allow you to gain optimum amount of material on performance of all works.

It is required to you

  • Measuring tape measure, calculator.

Instruction

1. Calculation of the area of gypsum cardboard for ceiling covering. To learn ceiling quadrature, you need to increase room length by its width. The received digit will speak about the necessary number of square meters of gypsum cardboard.

2. If you are going to do two-level ceiling, write down dimensions of the second box on the sheet of paper. Considering the fact that the area of standard HL of leaf is three square meters (1.2х2.5), you with ease will be able to count amount of gypsum cardboard for registration of the second level.

3. Calculation of amount of gypsum cardboard for covering of walls. Not to measure separately each wall, bothering with excess digits, you can measure all area of walls at once. For this purpose you need initially to choose any starting corner for measurement. Lean tape measure against corner then extend it at length at which you will be able to extend.

4. Record the provision of ruler in that place, dokud you have stretched it. Release edge with which you began, and clamp the antiput edge.

5. Again stretch tape measure at the maximum length and clamp ruler in that place, the dokuda it has been stretched. So do until the ruler in tape measure comes to an end. If the ruler has ended and you have not reached that corner with which began, give mark in wall where there was the last value of tape measure (2, 5, 10 meters, etc.). Wind tape measure and begin new measurement with noted point. After you reach initial corner, put the total length of walls and increase it by their height. Write down the received result on paper.

6. Measure quadrature of window and door openings and you will subtract its value from the total area of walls. The received number will mean necessary amount of gypsum cardboard in square meters. Considering possible oversights in further work, buy 1-2 additional leaves. If they are not used, you will be able to return them to shop.
