BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Total the material mass and height of a specified stack using each layer’s actual thickness, density and repeated count. Material mass only; never a structural load approval or floor assembly recommendation.

Mass = common area × sum(layer thickness × density × layer count).Calculated with normalised units

Continuous layers of the same footprint. No support capacity, loading allowance, fire rating or assembly suitability is determined.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
