What is Drywall?

Drywall is a construction material used to create walls and ceilings. It’s made of gypsum, sandwiched between two layers of paper or fiberglass mat.

Types of Drywall:

  • Standard Drywall
  • Moisture-Resistant Drywall
  • Fire-Resistant Drywall
  • Soundproof Drywall

Formulas Used:

  • Wall Area: Wall Area = Height × Width
  • Panels Required: Panels Required = Wall Area ÷ Panel Area
  • Premixed Compound Needed: Premixed Compound (gallons) = Panels Required × 0.05
  • Powder Compound Needed: Powder Compound (pounds) = Panels Required × 0.15
  • Joint Tape Needed: Joint Tape (ft) = (Height + Width) × 1.5
  • Screws Needed: Screws Needed = Panels Required × 20
