Estimate how many drywall sheets you need to cover a wall, based on standard 4×8 ft sheets.

How It Works

How Drywall Calculator Works

Wall area is divided by the coverage of a standard 4×8 foot sheet (32 square feet), with your waste allowance added on top for cuts around outlets, corners, and doorways, then rounded up to a whole number of sheets.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
