These Are the Best Ceiling Types for Every Home

Multiply the length by the width to obtain the gross ceiling area. For example, a room 15 feet long and 10 feet wide has a gross ceiling area of 150 square feet — 15 times 10 = 150.

Depending on how steep your roof pitch is, vaulting a 20-by-20-foot room creates a new ceiling that’s 11 to 12 feet high at its peak. The price isn’t low, though. You’ll pay $18,000 to $25,000.

Primarily, the spandrel roof is made from a pre-painted metal sheet or PVC materials. Spandrel has a functional beauty for a perfect finish on eaves, ceilings, and shades. The most common material utilized in spandrels is steel, and often, steel companies deal with the same type of material.

PVC ceilings are sturdy and durable. PVC ceilings release toxic chlorine gas over a period of time. Also, this material is very harmful when burnt. PVC ceilings are water-proof, termite-proof and do not allow the growth of mildew and mould.

To get the necessary number required to cover the eaves, just divide the length of the area to the width of the material. For example, we have an area of 3 meters to cover. Using our 6′ spandrel (approximately 0.15 meters), we simply divide it. Hence, we need 20 pieces of 6′ to cover the area.
