Plasterboard is commonly made with one of three edge treatments: tapered edge, where the long edges of the board are tapered with a wide bevel at the front to allow jointing materials to be finished flush with the main board face; plain edge, used where the whole surface will receive a thin coating (skim coat) of finishing plaster; and beveled on all four sides, used in products specialized for roofing. Major UK manufacturers do not offer four-sided chamfered drywall for general use. Skim coating is the cheapest way to cover a popcorn ceiling with a fresh, smooth surface to top with a new coat of paint. Do-it-yourselfers can apply skim coating with a bit of finesse and attention to detail. North America is one of the largest gypsum board users in the world, with a total wallboard plant capacity of 42billion square feet (3.9billion square metres) per year, roughly half of the worldwide annual production capacity of 85billion square feet (7.9billion square metres). [30] Moreover, the homebuilding and remodeling markets in North America in the late 1990s and early 2000s increased demand. The gypsum board market was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the housing boom as "an average new American home contains more than 7.31 metric tons of gypsum." [31] You can use a drywall saw to cut out the shape of your electrical outlets, making sure the measurements are exact. When you place the plastic exterior of your outlet over the drywall, there should be no gaps insight. When driven fully home, drywall screws countersink their heads slightly into the drywall. They use a 'bugle head', a concave taper, rather than the conventional conical countersunk head; this compresses the drywall surface rather than cutting into it and so avoids tearing the paper. Screws for light-gauge steel framing have a sharp point and finely spaced threads. If the steel framing is heavier than 20- gauge, self-drilling screws with finely spaced threads must be used. In some applications, the drywall may be attached to the wall with adhesives.

The first step is to work out the square foot area of the sheet you want to figure out the weight of, with a 4-foot by 8-foot sheet having an area of 32 square feet, for example (calculated by multiplying the two dimensions together).

If your space has a shape other than a rectangle cuboid, you may input the value of the surface area in the calculator. For rooms with walls of odd shapes, you can refer to math calculators to determine their surface areas. To hide the fasteners, position them close to openings around windows and doors so the trim will cover them. Now, take your drywall screws (any other type of screw will not be compatible with the drywall, so make sure you have the right kind) and drill them into place. It is recommended that drywall is screwed in every 30 - 40 cm or 12 - 16 inches for ultimate endurance and coverage. Taping the Drywall
