How to calculate rack ceiling

It is simple to mount rack ceiling and in operation it is unpretentious. Exact calculation of rack ceilings will help to avoid additional costs of purchase of necessary material or efforts on search of missing elements and suspension of repair work which is necessary for nobody.

It is required to you

  • - tape measure;
  • - calculator;
  • - pencil;
  • - paper.

Instruction

1. Make measurement of perimeter of ceiling. For this purpose measure its width, then length then put them. Increase the received digit by 2. For example, ceiling width - 4.6 meters, and length - 2.7 meters: (4.6 + 2.7) x 2 = 14.6 meters. This digit will be required for calculation of the required length of profile framework.

2. Calculate the total area of ceiling. For this purpose increase its length by width. 4.6 x 2.7 = 12.42 sq.m.

3. Standard dimension of open rail - 3 meters in length at 10 centimeters width. Calculate the area of one rail. For this purpose increase length of rail by its width: 3 x 0.10 = 0.3 sq.m.

4. Now, possessing these data, calculate how many rails with area of 0.3 sq.m. will be required to you for finishing of ceiling of 12.42 sq.m. For this purpose 12.42: 0.3 = 41.40 rails.

5. Consider that the received digit is absolute minimum. That is to establish rack ceiling in this room, 41.4 rails will be enough for you provided that waste will not be in general. In practice it happens extremely seldom, nobody wants to mold ceiling from pieces - it is and it is difficult, and just ugly looks. Therefore to the received sum it makes sense to add about 5-8 rails.
