Ceiling calculator
This calculator works out what a ceiling needs: gypsum boards or PVC strips to cover it, the brandering (the timber battens the ceiling is fixed to) and the cornice that finishes the edge. Enter the room size and choose the ceiling type.

Gypsum boards are commonly 1,200 mm wide and come in several lengths; PVC ceiling strips are usually 250 mm wide in 6 m lengths. Brandering is typically 38 × 38 mm timber fixed under the trusses at about 400 mm centres for boards and 600 mm for PVC.
The figures are for a single flat ceiling. Bulkheads, coffers and downlights add cutting and timber; allow extra if you have them.
Mashandiro ayo
- Ceiling area = length × width.
- Boards = area ÷ board area, plus waste, rounded up. PVC strips = rows across the room × strips per row.
- Brandering = rows across the room at the chosen spacing × room length.
- Cornice = perimeter, plus waste.
Zvainofungidzira
- Brandering runs across the trusses in one direction.
- Screws, nails, joint tape and cornice adhesive are not included.
Mibvunzo inowanzobvunzwa
How many gypsum boards for a 4 by 4 room?
The ceiling is 16 m². A 1.2 × 2.4 m board covers 2.88 m², so about 6 boards, or 7 with cutting waste.
What spacing for brandering?
About 400 mm centres for 9 mm gypsum board and about 600 mm for PVC strips. Follow the board manufacturer.
Is PVC or gypsum better?
Gypsum gives a seamless, paintable ceiling and better fire resistance; PVC is quicker to install and washable, and needs no painting.
