Trying to use the 4 ft x 12 ft sheets they each cover 48 sqft.
Drywall sheet square footage.
55 x 16 800 feet.
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.
So lets assume your wall square footage is 1 500 sqft.
How to estimate drywall or sheetrock.
Drywall needed total area sheet size.
The house square foot normally has no direct correlation to the wall square footage where the drywall goes.
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.
For an estimate use the calculator above or follow these steps.
Multiply the length and height of one wall.
For example if you need 55 4 by 8 sheets the total tape needed is.
The calculator works in decimals ex.
Drywall comes 8 ft x 4 ft sheets or 12 ft x 4 ft sheets.
You can both estimate the total square feet of drywall also known as gypsum board you ll need and the number of sheets.
Once you determine surface area of the entire room or how much drywall is needed divide that number by 40.
This is the number of drywall sheets required.
Despite the drywall sizes listed above drywall sheet lengths can go up to 16.
The perimeter of a 4 by 8 sheet is 16 feet.
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.
10 5 becomes 10 5.
Base height 2 sqft.
The perimeter of a 4 by 12 sheet is 20 feet.
