Costing Calculator for Fibreglass Composites
per Square Meter
| Product Code: | |
| Product Description: |
1. Calculate Total Square Meter Area:
Enter width and length in meters only eg. 10.54
| Enter Width: | Enter Length: | Total Area: m² |
Weight and Cost of Fibreglass Materials
2. Surface Tissue
Total m² x Layers x Weight per m² = Total Weight
Total m² x Layers x Cost per m² = Total Cost
| Weight per m² eg. 25g = 0.025: Cost of Surface Tissue per m²: R Number of layers to be used: |
Total Weight: kg Total Cost: R |
3. Chop Strand Mat
Total m² x Weight x Layers = Total Weight x Cost per KG = Total Cost
300gsm:No. of Layers: Cost per kg:R |
|
Total Weight: kg Total Cost: R |
450gsm:No. of Layers: Cost per kg:R |

5. Coremat
Total m² x Layers = Total m² x Cost per m² = Total Cost
Thickness entered in mm eg. 3mm = 3
When using Coremat
1mm 1m² = 600g Resin
2mm 1m² = 1.2kg Resin
3mm 1m² = 1.8kg Resin
4mm 1m² = 2.4kg Resin
5mm 1m² = 3.0kg Resin
| MM 1: No. of Layers: Cost per m²:R |
|
Total m² 1: kg Total Cost: R |
| MM 2: No. of Layers: Cost per m²:R |
|
Total m² 2: kg Total Cost: R |
Weight and Cost of Resin Required
6. Gelcoat Required
Approximate quantity per m² is between 600gsm to 800gsm.
Calculation based on Entered gsm Gelcoat x Total Square Meters = Total Weight x Cost per kg = Total Cost
| Enter grams per m² used eg. 0.60 to 0.80: kg Enter Cost of Gelcoat per kg: R |
|
Total Weight: kg Total Cost: R |
7. Flowcoat Required
Approximate quantity per m² is between 600gsm to 800gsm.
Calculation based on Entered gsm Resin x Total Square Meters = Total Weight x Cost per kg = Total Cost
| Enter grams per m² used eg. 0.60 to 0.80: kg Enter Cost of Flowcoat per kg: R |
|
Total Weight: kg Total Cost: R |
