Brick and Plaster Calculator vs PlasterCalculator Usage & Stats

Brick and Plaster Calculator: Estimate Quantities of Brick and Mortar Required for a Given Area for Single and Double Walls. Wall Height (m). Wall Width (m). A handy tool for building construction or any DIY person. Features: • Calculate the number of bricks and the amount of mortar required for a given wall area. • Calculate the quantity of cement and sand required for plastering a given wall area. • Standard brick size or custom brick size input available. • Support for both Metric and Imperial systems. • Brick Quantity & Wall Plastering Calculation The calculations are based on the following assumptions: • The bricks are laid in stretcher bonds. • There is a 12mm (0.47 inch) mortar joint between the bricks. • The mortar mix is 1:4 (cement:sand). • The thickness of plaster for the wall interior is taken as 12mm (0.47 inch) and for the exterior side is 15mm (0.59 inch). A brick is a building material used to make walls, pavements, and other elements in masonry construction. Traditionally, the term "brick" referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to denote any rectangular units laid in mortar. Plaster is a building material used for the protective and/or decorative coating of walls and ceilings and for molding and casting decorative elements. Cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials, binding them together. Cement is seldom used on its own but rather to bind sand and gravel together. Mortar is a workable paste used to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units together, fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, and sometimes add decorative colors or patterns in masonry walls.

PlasterCalculator

Need a plaster mold to create your ceramic masterpiece? Do you need a simple plaster form suitable for a one-off project? Plaster Calculator can help! It's easy to eye-ball the plaster/water ratio for a one-off or non-critical piece using the island method, such as for the bottom of a wetbox. However, when making multi-part molds or a series of identical molds, the proper ratio is critical to ensure consistency across molds and in the resulting ceramic piece. Plaster Calculator can help you determine the amount of plaster and water for your mix, ensuring consistent results using many of the common plaster types available, including #1 Pottery Plaster, Hydrostone, Ultracal, and several others. Key Features: Calculate the volume of your plaster need based on the dimensions of the most common forms in centimeters, inches, or feet. Forms include square/rectangle (cuboid), cylinder, sphere/half-sphere, pyramid (3 and 4 sided), and cone, as-well-as allowing you to enter an already known volume amount. Additionally, can calculate the volume of a void space within the plaster mold, such as when making a mold from an existing object, the void volume amount will be removed from the main volume. Save your mix calculation for later referral. Allows measurement of plaster and water in pounds/ounces or grams, the default can be changed in the Settings. Calculates a typical volume reduction of 30% (as recommended by some sources). This value can be changed between 0 (for no adjustment) and 45%, the default value can be changed in the Settings. Provides plaster weight variations -/+5 points from the standard consistency for the plaster. For example, the standard consistency of #1 Pottery Plaster is 70, variations are provided from 65 to 75 supplying the plaster amount needed for that consistency. Allows changing of the plaster type prior to saving mix, default plaster type can be changed in the Settings. Choose between three different color splashes for the application - Blue, Gray, and Purple. Allow optional donation to developer - please do :)
