Stud partition

CW/UW profiles, anchors and boards.

How we calculate it

What you enter

  • Width (m)
  • Height (m)
  • Stud spacing (m)
  • Profile length (m)
  • Boarded sides

Formula

studs = ⌊ Width ÷ Stud spacing ⌋ + 1
CW profiles = studs × ⌈ Height ÷ Profile length ⌉
UW profiles = ⌈ 2 × Width ÷ Profile length ⌉
fixings = 2 × (⌊ Width ÷ 0.6 ⌋ + 1)
boards = ⌈ Width × Height × Boarded sides × 1.10 ÷ 2.4 ⌉

Example

The default values from the form, run through the same engine:

To buy
10 boards
CW studs7 × 3 m
UW tracks3 × 3 m
Anchors14

What to watch out for

60 cm spacing is standard under a 1.2 m board. Go down to 40 cm under a heavier finish or tiles. Boards are counted for both faces.

The Materio app for Android uses the same formula. The site's engine is a 1:1 port of the app's code.
