Count the drywall sheets a room needs before you frame out the drive to the store. Enter the total surface area you plan to cover in square feet, or use the wall length and height fields to build it up, then choose the sheet size you will buy such as a four by eight or four by twelve panel. The calculator divides the area by the coverage of one sheet, adds a waste allowance for cuts around windows, doors and corners, and returns the number of sheets rounded up. Standard four by eight sheets cover thirty two square feet each, while four by twelve sheets cover forty eight and mean fewer seams to tape on long walls. Ten to fifteen percent waste is typical depending on how cut up the room is. Everything is calculated instantly in your browser with nothing sent to a server.
