False Ceiling Calculator

Plan ceiling boards or panels and specified grid lengths.

Open this tool

Ceiling boards and grid lengths need a layout basis rather than a rough allowance from the house area.

Enter the room dimensions and chosen board or panel specifications. Use the quantities as a material schedule while checking framing and support details separately.
