How to calculate plasterboards and profiles.
- 1
Measure the area
Partition wall: length × height. Ceiling: room length × width.
- 2
Sides and layers
A partition is boarded on both sides, and in two layers for better sound insulation and fire protection.
- 3
Substructure
CW studs go at 62.5 cm centres and UW tracks along floor and ceiling, so quantities per m² are accurate enough.
