Suspended ceiling
CD/UD profiles, hangers and boards.
How we calculate it
What you enter
- Width (m)
- Length (m)
- CD spacing (m)
- Hanger spacing (m)
Formula
CD runs = ⌊ Width ÷ CD spacing ⌋ + 1
CD profiles = ⌈ CD runs × Length ÷ 4 ⌉
UD profiles = ⌈ 2 × (Width + Length) ÷ 3 ⌉
hangers = CD runs × (⌊ Length ÷ Hanger spacing ⌋ + 1)
boards = ⌈ Width × Length × 1.10 ÷ 2.4 ⌉Example
The default values from the form, run through the same engine:

What to watch out for
40 cm CD spacing and 90 cm hanger spacing is a typical ceiling under one board. Heavier loads need tighter spacing.
