My father has really spent a lot of money for lighting our dining hall and it looks great indeed. However last month he said that false ceilings are in trend nowadays and before it, our lighting can never compete. I was not very convinced as I have seen several houses with false ceilings but did not much like the idea until I visited my father’s office last week. People uses several things for grid ceiling material like:

  • Gypsum

  • Plaster

  • Fibre

  • Wood

  • Glass

  • Metal

  • Synthetic leather or cloth

This is the grid ceiling material list that is in vogue. Mostly gypsum is used for the purpose and my father’s office has been using it for their ceiling renovation as well.

How to calculate grid ceiling material?

Since my father was very curious and loved the new ceilings in his office, he tried to understand how to measure false ceilings and tried to get an idea of the cost. He said that to know the cost, at first 

  • Calculate the surface area of the ceiling in sq ft 

  • Multiply the sq ft surface area by unit price per sq ft

  • Then calculate the cove length in rft(running foot)

  • Multiply the calculated cove length by unit price per rft

  • Add the cost of finishing as per the design

  • The total is going to be the money required to complete it

Also know that grid false ceiling materials’ cost vary from place to place so it will not be the same for everyone.

Example of calculation

Suppose you want grid ceiling for a room measuring 12’ * 16’ with gypsum board

  1. Rs 90/ sq ft for ceiling with material and installation

  2. 2 rate/running feet for ceiling board = Rs 50/rft along with material and installation

  3. rate/ each round ceiling light =Rs 150

Area = 12’ * 16’ = 192 sq ft

Peripheral length “L” = (L+B)*2 (12’+16’)*2 = 56 feet

  Cost amount for ceiling

Area of ceiling*(rate/sqft) for ceiling = 192*90 = Rs17280

Cost of amount for ceiling border

Length of ceiling border*rate/running feet = 56*50 = Rs 2800

Cost of ceiling lights

Rate of light fixing * number of lights = 150 * 20 =Rs 3000

Total Cost= 17280+2800+3000= Rs 23080

 

This is all I got to tell you about grid ceiling material cost and their calculation to get an approx amount.
