We recommend you use at least a 10% waste factor (for average size rooms) with uncomplicated detailing.

The results generated using this Shore Supply Drywall Calculator assumes that your studs or joists are spaced on 16-inch centers, or 14 inches apart. Plus that you space nails along the framing 7 inches apart along ceilings, 8 inches apart along walls. And, that you space screws 12 inches apart along walls and ceilings. We also estimate that you may need 5.4 pounds of nails per 1000 square feet of wall or ceiling, and 3 pounds of screws for the same area.
