How much does drywall weigh?

In: Interior Design, Civil Engineering

Standard drywall weighs about 3.4 lbs per sq ft per inch thickness. Water resistant drywall (greenboard) weighs about 3.9 lbs. per sq. ft. per inch thickness. Firecode C drywall weighs about 4.2 lbs. per sq. ft. per inch thickness. These are approximations, as the ratio of core vs. covering varies for different thicknesses, thereby varying the exact weights.

So, 1/2" thick standard drywall weighs 3.4 x 0.5, or 1.7 lbs per sq. ft.

4' x 8' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 32 s.f. = 54 lbs.

4' x 10' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 40 s.f. = 68 lbs.

4' x 12' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 48 s.f. = 82 lbs.

5/8" thick standard drywall weighs 3.4 x 0.625 = 2.2 lbs per sq. ft.

4' x 8' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 70 lbs.

4' x 10' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 88 lbs.

4' x 12' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 105 lbs.

Previous Answer:

A 4'x8'x 1/2" sheet weighs 82 lbs

A 4'x12'x1/2" weighs over a 100lbs

4x8x12 5/8 is almost 150 lbs

54x12x5/8 will blow your milker if you aren't in shape
