A:  Ultralight Drywall vs. A conventional 1/2-inch thick sheet of drywall measuring 4 x 8 feet weighs around 57 pounds. According to drywall maker USG, a 4 x 8-foot sheet of Sheetrock brand UltraLight Panel weighs 13 pounds less, for a total of 44 pounds.

A:  Each sheet weighs 29.4" lbs.

A:  I’ve never used cellulose, so you may want to check with the manufacturer. That said. 24” O.C. is a standard joist spacing, so 4” shouldn’t be a problem. Keep in mind, this product lists at 3.7R per inch, so depending on where you live, 4” (14.8R) may be a bit shallow... I recommend you check the recommendations on R value for your area to make sure you’re installing enough.

A:  Yes, its support ceilings works too, but i recomend 5/8 for better resistencs

A:  Yes it will . If it was installed correctly .

A:  Yes

A:  Yes you can but I would recommend to use 5/8 drywall

A:  Yes, 24” O.C. is extremely common joist spacing. I’ve used this numerous times with no issues.

A:  Yes.

A:  Yes should be fine or up to 5/8”. make sure if your installing insulation that use the correct insulation for the timber depth. Sometimes the incorrect insulation will push against the drywall and you have popped screws.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. USG Sheetrock Ultralight panels can be used for parallel or perpendicular installation on ceilings with 24 in. (610 mm) o.c. framing. Hope this helps.

A:  Each sheet is 48 sq. ft. (4x12). So 4460 divided by 48 = approx. 93 sheets. Then you will have some waste but without a detailed look at the room, I would guess about 10% extra. So my guess is around 102 sheets. Whatever you don't use you can return.

A:  No way to answer that. We have no idea what doors, windows, or anything else is in that area. Just measure each wall and do the math.

A:  I would say about 93. I got this by taking 4x12=48, then 4460÷48= 92.92. So 93 sheets. I always buy 2 extra for just in case.

A:  Tico The Pro desk at your local Home Depot can assist you with estimating your project or you can visit www.usg.com and click on "Installation & Technical" to access the Sheetrock estimating tool.

A:  It depends on what size of sheets your getting. You just divide the square footage nu the square footage of the sheet. For example, if your using 4x8 sheets, there's 32 square feet in one sheet. 4460/32 is 139.375 or 140. Sheets. If 4x12 sheets, you divide by 48 and so on. Buy 5 or 6 extra sheets for scrap waste and damage.

A:  The drywall is sold by the single sheet. They are shipped to the store in pairs, with the front faces together... but when you order them you are buying a single sheet each. If you order five sheets, for instance... You will get two pairs of two still taped together, and one individual sheet on top of them. I hope that helps... Good luck :-)

A:  Drywall is “packaged” in qty of 2 for shipping/storage but sold in individual units.

A:  Drywall comes in 2 sheet bundles paper seamed together but you don't have to order in pairs. Just order how many sheets you need.

A:  Drywall in 4' by 8' sheets is priced per sheet. However it is assembled in two sheet packages for ease of shipping and transporting. You can buy as many sheets as you need and separate the 2 sheet packs when you need just one sheet. Hope this helps.

A:  They come together as 2 but price is for 1 sheet. I assume that 2 are bundled together, because people tend to buy in even numbers. If you need odd number they cut the paper holding them together. Price again is for only 1 sheet.

A:  These are a regular stock item so you should be able to purchase individually.

A:  You can use this on all of the walls on the interior of your garage, whether are they adjoin the house or the exterior.

A:  You can buy the same type as long as the wall doesn't have moisture problems.

A:  Hire a professional that has experience and professional training that is certified with the current codes of today. I use Do-It-All Home Improvements Inc. 516-381-1598 they are very professional and have extensive knowledge in all phases of construction and are reasonably priced.

A:  Yes. The area that you are applying the drywall is not considered a wet area.

A:  If it's not rated fire resistant it's not to be used if that's a concern.

A:  No 1/2” won’t pass. Regular drywall is NOT considered non-combustible, type X (or Firecode C) IS because of the glass fibers in the gypsum usually in 5/8” drywall. Always check with the manufacturers specs and local codes.

A:  No, not fire rated. You would need 5/8 type x fire rated .

A:  Rating is for garage walls that attach to house and the wall that attaches to the garage.

A:  Generally drywall is not fire rated until 5/8" thick. So it's intended for non-fire rated applications like indoors or pretty much anywhere that is not the wall separating your garage and main living space or the wall around a fireplace.

A:  Typically ceilings are perpendicular to the joists and walls are vertical so there should be no problem

A:  If you want to know the specific difference between the two, you can just Google that. If you are specifically addressing this product, this wallboard requires tape and spackle.

A:  Gypsum is the major component of this drywall board that is manufactured by Sheetrock Corp.

A:  Jim Thank you for your question. Gypsum is used to make both plaster and Sheetrock Gypsum Wallboard.

A:  Yes,gyps gypsum is what the core of sheetrock or gypsum Wall panels are made of.
