CEILSoft — The Complete Guide: Suspended Ceiling Hangers and Anchors in the Browser

CEILSoft by ADIT is a browser calculator for suspended ceilings: it sizes the hangers and the anchors that hold the ceiling up, based on its self weight and on the services the ceiling carries. It is free, needs no registration or installation, and has a Hebrew interface.

What you get

Why it matters

Suspended ceilings are often treated as just the weight of the boards, while the services hung from them and the seismic loads are forgotten. CEILSoft puts numbers on those loads, so the spacing and the anchors come from a calculation rather than from habit.

Related tools

For a full check of an anchor in concrete — AAS. For interior cladding in a protected room — MAMADSOFT. For fixing cabinets and screens to walls — HOMESOFT.

The bottom line

CEILSoft turns suspended ceiling design from a rule of thumb into a documented calculation — free, and with nothing to install.
