Drywall Weight Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Drywall Weight.
DW = A * T/12 * 38.205
Variables:
- DW is the Drywall Weight (lbs)
- A is the total square footage of drywall (ft^2)
- T is the drywall thickness (in)
How to Calculate Drywall Weight?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Drywall Weight.
- First, determine the total square footage of drywall (ft^2).
- Next, determine the drywall thickness (in).
- Next, gather the formula from above = DW = A * T/12 * 38.205.
- Finally, calculate the Drywall Weight.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total square footage of drywall (ft^2) = 30
drywall thickness (in) = .375
DW = A * T/12 * 38.205 = ?
