Ceiling Slope Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Ceiling Slope (CS) is:

\[ CS = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{CH}{CL}\right) \]

Where:

\( CS \) is the Ceiling Slope (degrees).
\( CH \) is the Height Difference (feet).
\( CL \) is the Ceiling Length (feet).

What is Ceiling Slope?

The ceiling slope is the angle of incline of a ceiling, often measured in degrees. It is important for various aspects of construction and interior design.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Height Difference (CH): 5 feet
Ceiling Length (CL): 20 feet

Using the formula to calculate the Ceiling Slope:

\[ CS = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{5}{20}\right) \approx 14.04^\circ \]

This means that the ceiling slope for this example is approximately 14.04 degrees.
