hello all ... can anyone tell me how many plasterboards i would need for 54.60 sq meters plus 12% for wastage
the boards are 9.5mm x 9.15mm x 1200mm

cheers any help be greatfull

Your looking at around 60 odd boards. why dnt u use 6x3's

With those figures you will need almost 5000 boards

Surprising where maths comes into pay

5000 Boards

She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Did you mean 915mm x 1200mm? If so, they're just over 1msq. So about 55-60 boards would do it.

That sounds like handiboard dimensions.

lol sorry ive put the wrong measurements in yes i got around 50-60 boards.. its a question in my plastering course exam at college just wanted to make sure
i got it right


thank you all for the info

ha, got us doin your college work lad! what college do u go to

lol yeah just a little i goto oldham college ,,manchester area

So maths wasn't your strong point then

Its amazing how many kids shun the likes of maths, english and science when at school because they want to do a hands-on profession (I applaud them for doing that type of work ) but a few years down the line they realise that they need the knowledge

well i did get the question right before coming on here ..just double checking it! and am a little old to be a kid am 39

Sorry but it happens

Good luck with your training...does this mean a change in career ?

cheers, aye was in catering for years,,, then decided to do plastering better money, better hours, better all round really and i really like it

fair do's steve, jus completed my 3rd year at leeds college of building really enjoy plastering too. hard graft but worth the wage

I can imagine catering being a pain in the ar*se but if you moved it on a bit into restaurants (not sure what you class as catering) then the rewards are there. OK, still sh*t hours and on your feet for 12 hrs but there is quality behind it - clearly I'm not talking about being a chef at a Bernie Inn etc.

I only say this as I'm a frustrated chef who fly's a desk all day.

Good luck with your change in career
