  • Tex is sold only in boxes (usually 18 sheets per square meter], not by the sheet. You must round up the calculated total number of sheets to the box unit when placing an order.
  • Installation must be performed by dividing the ceiling centerline into two sections (splitting the panels] to ensure consistent panel sizes at both ends, resulting in a clean finish.
  • For 300x600 standard textures, the principle is '6-screw installation,' which involves securing each sheet with 6 screws to prevent sagging. (M-Bar method]
  • Since significant damage and loss occur in recessed light holes, air conditioner locations, and wall finishes, please allow a margin of 5 to 10 percent.
  • Installing new ceiling tiles over existing ones carries a high risk of sagging due to load-bearing issues. It is recommended to remove the old tiles and reinstall the lightweight steel frame whenever possible.

Ceiling Tile Quantity Calculator, Amatex, Ziptex, and Gypsum Tile Quantity Calculation Guide

Are you preparing to install Tex, the most commonly used ceiling finishing material for offices, schools, and commercial spaces? Since Tex is sold only in boxes and not by the sheet, it is important to calculate the exact box quantity. If you input the ceiling area, Tex specifications, and the quantity packed per box, this calculator accurately calculates the actual number of boxes required, taking into account markup rates and deduction areas.

Ceiling Tile Quantity Calculation Formula

Divide the total construction area by the effective area of ​​one sheet of material and convert it into box units.

Total number of units required
Number of sheets required = {(Ceiling area - Deducted area] ÷ Area of ​​one sheet of ceiling tile} × (1 + Surcharge rate / 100]
Order box quantity
Order Box Quantity = Total Required Quantity ÷ Quantity per Box

Since taxes are shipped only in box units, the calculated number of sheets is divided by the quantity per box, and decimal points are always rounded up.


Detailed Guide to Calculator Input Items

Please check each item for accurate material calculation.

1. Ceiling width and length

Enter the total width and length of the ceiling to be constructed in mm.
※ If there are pillars on the ceiling or the structure is complex, please divide the area and sum the values.

2. Tex specifications and box quantity

Enter the size of the single sheet of text you want to use and the number of sheets (PCS] per box.
※ Gypsum Tex/Gypsum Tex: Standard dimensions are 300 x 600 mm, and one box contains 18 sheets (approximately 1 pyeong].

3. Surcharge rate

Since there is a lot of waste from lighting holes and wall finishes in the ceiling, it is recommended to leave a margin of about 5 to 10 percent.

4. Deduction area

If there are spaces such as lighting fixtures or air conditioners where ceiling tiles are not installed, enter the area to prevent unnecessary material waste.

Expert Know-how and Checklists

Here are the key practical points for a neat and sturdy ceiling.

  • Division based on the centerline

    You must draw a center line in the exact center of the ceiling and distribute the work to both sides during installation so that the size of the end panels is consistent, making it aesthetically pleasing.

  • 6-leg fixing principle (M-Bar method]

    For 300x600 size textures, it is standard practice to use 6 screws per sheet. If there are not enough screws, there is a risk that the textures will sag over time.

  • Consider lighting hole loss

    Damage may occur during the process of drilling holes in the ceiling tiles for the installation of recessed lights or air conditioners. Please set a generous markup rate.
