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