What thickness of drywall on ceilings and walls?
I've started working on my basement and have finally reached the drywall stage. The price doesn't seem that different for the three thicknesses of drywall, but the weight does. I'm using a drywall lift, so I guess the weight doesn't matter.
What thickness should I be using on my ceiling and walls? Does it matter at all? If I need one thickness on the ceiling, does it need to be the same on the walls?
Answer:
1/2" is the standard for ceilings and walls now. If the rooms you are sheet rocking are bathrooms or subject to moisture exposure, spend the extra .35 cents per sheet and get MR (Moisture Resistant) sheetrock. It's treated to be moisture and mold resistant and holds any latex paint better than regular..(I did my entire basement in MR sheetrock as a precaution..I don't have any moisture problems but thought it would be a good idea. A contractor told me about it.....
