The formula
9.45 m² × 2 face(s) × 1 = 18.9 m² of board ÷ 3 m² (+ 5 %) = 7 boards; studs every 60 cm: 10; tracks: 2 × 4.2 m ÷ 3 m = 3.
The assumptions
- 48 mm frame partition, up to 3 m per stud.
- About 30 screws, 0.4 kg of compound and 1.5 m of tape per m² of board.
How to use it
Measure the partition’s length and height.
Choose one or two faces, one or two layers, and the board type.
Read the boards, the frame, the screws, the tape and the joint compound.
