Hi all...i know this is a dumb question, but i can't find an answer online. How much does a 5/8 drywall board cost??? Also, how much would a 5/8 board of sheetrock cost.
I don't know what size they are generally sold in...so please indicate the dimensions as well as the price.
Drywall and sheetrock are the same thing. Sheetrock is actually a name brand of drywall.
They come in 4x8, 4x9, and 4x10, plus longer sizes at some suppliers.
Off the top of my head, I'd plan to pay just under $10 for a 4x8x5/8" sheet. In residential, 1/2" is used for most walls and 5/8" is more common on garages and ceilings.
Well I'm confused about your question but here it goes....
wallboard, drywall and gypsum are essentially all the same thing.
1/2" is the most common thickness and comes in sheets sized:
4x8
4x9
4x10
4x12
5/8" is generally used for ceilings in some application, as a fire rated material in other (assemblies...see I remembered kctermite!) and in high end homes as the actual wall material.
Cost will vary all over the place. The last time I bought 4x8x1/2 it was just under $7 a sheet.
EDIT:
and apparently I was slow in replying cuz when I hit the "reply" button, there weren't any responses. Sorry for what's essentially a double post....
Depends on what your looking for you have basic 1/2 sheet rock which is about 8-9 a sheet and the you have the mold/mildew resistant stuff about 10-11 and then you have mold/mildew and fire resistant which is about 12 a sheet
I'm pricing 1/2" rock for our basement and as of yesterday at Menards here it's $4.99 for a 4x8' sheet. $5.68 at Home Depot for the same stuff. Can you do a ceiling in 1/2" if you just use more fasteners?

I'm going to be furring my ceiling out, and unless something comes up, I'll be furring 16" OC. I can get 5/8", that's really not an issue, so I'll probably go that route, at least for the ceiling.
