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