Drywall Sheet Square Footage

Square footage calculator for triangles.

Drywall sheet square footage.

55 x 16 800 feet. For example if you re using 4 x 10 sheets the total square footage of one sheet is 40sf. You can both estimate the total square feet of drywall also known as gypsum board you ll need and the number of sheets. This is the number of drywall sheets required.

The perimeter of a 4 by 8 sheet is 16 feet. After you find the square footage of drywall needed simply divide by the square footage of the sheet size you will be using to find the number of sheets needed. The perimeter of a 4 by 12 sheet is 20 feet. For an estimate use the calculator above or follow these steps.

How to estimate drywall or sheetrock. For example if you need 55 4 by 8 sheets the total tape needed is. Base height 2 sqft. Despite the drywall sizes listed above drywall sheet lengths can go up to 16.

Finally we can now take both of our values and use the equation below to get the total square footage of our triangularly room or use the square footage calculator for triangles to easily figure out the total. For example if your wall surface is 1000 square feet and you re using 4 x 8 sheets then the number of sheets needed is 1000 32 or 31 25. Once you determine surface area of the entire room or how much drywall is needed divide that number by 40. Using the total number of drywall sheets needed multiply by the perimeter of each sheet to determine the linear feet of joint tape for the drywall.

The calculator works in decimals ex. 10 5 becomes 10 5. Drywall comes 8 ft x 4 ft sheets or 12 ft x 4 ft sheets. The house square foot normally has no direct correlation to the wall square footage where the drywall goes.

Multiply the length and height of one wall.
