How to use the chart: Example:
1
Find your ceiling product on the chart 12" x 12" Tile
2
Calculate the square footage of your room 10' wide x 12' long room = 120 sf
3
Find the Track Ratio listed for your ceiling product on
the chart
1.33 lf of Track/sf
4
Multiply the sf by the ratio 120 sf x 1.33 = 159.6 lf
5
Divide the result by 8' for total number of tracks required.
Round up if necessary
160 lf/8' = 20 Tracks (each track = 8' length)
6
Find the Clip Ratio listed for your ceiling product on the
chart
1.1 Clips/sf
7
Multiply the sf from step 2 by the ratio 120 sf x 1.1 = 132 Clips
8
Round up if necessary for total number of clips required 132 Clips
Notes: Table averages values of room combinations from 10' x 10' to 30' x 30.'
It is possible that these values could leave you slightly short, as it is an average.
Values assume butting Track joints, end to end, with no overlap.
