i have a house that is 1360square feet how many square feet of sheet rock will i need?

Answer 1

You haven't provided enough information to answer that.

Dry wall quantity is determined in part by total wall space, so the more partitions you have, the more rock you use. It's also determined by the sheet size and runs to cover. For example if a wall is 12'6" long, it will take two 14 ft sheets. If the wall is 14 ' long, it will take- two 14 ft sheets.

It's also a function of shape. If the hall is 3 ft x 20 ft and open on one end, you have a 60 sq. ft space with 43 linear ft of wall to cover. In a room 10 ft x 10 ft, you have 100 sq. ft. of space, but only 40 lineal feet of wall to cover. Big rooms and open design take less rock per sq. foot of house. Small rooms and cut up designs take more.

To calculate rock, you go to each wall and figure out how you would cover it, meaning the size and number of sheets required. My rocker marks it on each door jamb- the list of sheets that go in the room. Ceilings calculate the same way, but listed separately as they are usually a different grade of rock, either 5/8 FR or no-sag. The total for the house is the sum of the lists from all spaces.

Not much in the way of detail, and one does not buy sheetrock strictly by the sq. ft.

Assume your ceilings are either 8 or 10 ft high. Drywall is sold in 4x8 or 4x10 sheets, even 5 x 10 sheets but that isn't something for one person to handle. You don't state if ceilings need drywall, or any room size, or any NON living areas siu=uch as garages.

If the house measures out at 1360 and you have 8 ft ceilings and you know the lenght and width of the house in general then do the math using the 4 ft width of a sheet of drywall, to calculate number of sheets required. IE: Not counting interior walls which certainly add hundreds of LINEAR feet at least, a 1360 sq. ft house single story would measure approx 30 x 45 just the interior perimeter walls would take 40 plus sheets of 4 x 8 with waste.

Answer 4

the only thing knowing the square foot of the floor is good for is to figure out how much sheet rock is needed for the ceiling and even then it will barely help what you need is take the length/ by 4 or 8 then take the width/ by the other number ok.
if i said i had a 1600 square foot house would you know if it was 40x40 or 20x80 plus you kinda have to factor in walls and such.
now if your talking to sheet rock the walls then measure all the walls and divide by 4 the length of the sheet rock would go up the wall.

Answer 5

depends how many walls you have to cover. each 4x8 sheet is 32 sq. ft. your gonna have to measure all the sq. ft. of walls and ceilings and do the math. probably gonna need over 100 pieces of 4x8 to do all walls and ceilings, at least.maybe up to 150 depends on your floor plan, ceiling height, etc.
