Ceiling Calculator – Tiles, Runners & Tees

Instead of working from a supplier's ballpark figure, this calculator derives your ceiling tiles requirement from Tiles = Area × 2.78 (60 × 60) or 2.5 (60 × 120); Mains = Length ÷ 1.2 using the exact room length and width you provide. The arithmetic stays transparent: each result links back to the displayed formula, so you can audit any number. For instance: A 25 m² office ceiling: 70 tiles, 21 m of mains, 42 m of tees and 24 m of wall angle. Keep in mind: Order tiles by the box - they come 8-10 per carton, not loose. Quantities are rounded conservatively so offcuts, spillage and delivery shortages never stop work mid-job.
