Plaster Calculator

Build a surface schedule and estimate plaster mix materials.

Open this tool

Plaster quantity depends on the surface you will coat and the finished thickness. Room floor area is a poor substitute for those measurements.

Build a surface schedule, deduct openings from the correct face and choose the number of faces. Check the mix proportions against the work specification.

How to use

Why use this tool

A surface schedule helps you see which walls are included and prevents a door deduction from being applied twice.

Before relying on the result

Deduction is applied to one face before multiplying by the number of faces.

Tool limitations

Deduction is applied to one face before multiplying by the number of faces.

Questions

Should an opening be deducted for every face?

The tool deducts it from one face before multiplying by the face count. Enter the same measurement basis throughout the surface schedule.

What should I check before using Plaster Calculator?

Check Measurement unit, Plaster thickness, Faces per surface and Openings per face. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
