Plasterboard sheets are one of the most convenient and environmentally friendly materials. They are installed quickly, look aesthetically pleasing and require almost no preliminary rough work. Before you go to the store to buy, it is important to know the types and sizes plasterboard sheet.

5 main types of drywall

It should be borne in mind that plasterboard sheets are available in several types and each is suitable only for use in certain conditions:

Main types of drywall and their markings

Ceiling plasterboard, used respectively for finishing ceilings;
Wall plasterboard, more durable, ideal for working with walls; (read interesting article about the construction of walls from gypsum plasterboard)
Moisture-resistant plasterboard, specially designed for rooms with high moisture content (it can be distinguished by the greenish tint of the sheet);
Fire-resistant plasterboard intended for finishing fireplaces;
Arched plasterboard, always mounted in two layers and more expensive in price.

Sheet characteristics

Thickness

The thickness of the plasterboard for the ceiling is 9.5 millimeters, the thickness of the plasterboard for the walls is 12.5 millimeters.
Thickness varies from 0.65 to 2.4 centimeters. The most commonly used sizes are ceiling (9.5 mm), arch (6.5 mm) and wall (12.5 mm) sizes.

What sizes does a standard sheet come in: choose the length and width

Standard size of plasterboard sheet: length 2.5 meters, width 1.2 meters, thickness 1.25 centimeters. Such sheets are also used for.
The length can be chosen longer or shorter than the standard. The industry produces sheets ranging in length from two to four meters (in increments of 50 centimeters).
The choice of width of plasterboard sheets is not so diverse. In addition to the standard width, the market has small option GKL 0.6 meters.
Small plasterboard sheets are used exclusively for finishing slopes and decorative elements, as well as balconies. The width of such a sheet is 60 centimeters, and the length can be from 1.5 to 3 meters. Thickness 12.5 millimeters. The sheet weight is 9 kilograms.

How much does 1 sheet of drywall weigh?

Weight standard sheet drywall (width 1.2, thickness 1.25, length 2.5 meters) on average 29 kilograms (if it was stored in a dry room). GCR is capable of absorbing moisture, so the actual weight may be greater than that declared by the manufacturers.

When determining the weight of plasterboard sheets, you need to rely on the following data (standard width 1.2 meters):

length two meters: thickness 6 mm - 12 kilograms, 9.5 mm - 18 kilograms, 12.5 - 23 kilograms;
length two and a half meters: thickness 6 mm - 15 kilograms, 9.5 mm - 22 kilograms, 12.5 - 29 kilograms;
length three meters: thickness 6 mm - 18 kilograms; 9.5 mm – 27 kilograms, 12.5 mm – 35 kilograms.

How to correctly calculate the quantity for installing drywall on the ceiling and walls of a room?

A standard sheet has an area of 3 square meters. meters. Having manually measured the walls, it is necessary to calculate their area and from total area subtract the area of windows and doors. Then the resulting number (if necessary) is rounded up and divided by the area of the standard sheet.

Let's say the height of the walls is 2.7 meters. The size of the room is 2.5 by 3 meters. The size of the window is 1.5 by 1.5, and the door is 2 by 1.5 meters.

Calculate the perimeter of the walls of the room: (2.5+3)x2=11 meters. We determine the area of the walls: 11x2.7 = 29.7 square meters. meters.

Determining the area of the door: 2x1.5=3 sq. meters.

Calculate the window area: 1.5x1.5=2.25 sq. meters.

Working area: 29.7–(3+2.25)=24.45 square meters.

The area of the walls is divided by the area of the standard sheet: 24.45/3 = 8.15 (sheet).

The correction factor is taken into account!

for rooms up to 10 sq. meters it is 1.3;
from 10 to 20 square meters the coefficient is 1.2;
for rooms large sizes – 1,1.

In the example above, you need to use a coefficient of 1.1, that is, 8.15 multiplied by 1.1. We get 8.965. The result is rounded up. “Extra” drywall will be useful in case of errors or for further repairs in other rooms. That is, you need to purchase 9 sheets.

Note. Calculations can be carried out taking into account any size (area) of plasterboard sheet.

For covering a balcony with plasterboard (side height 1.5 meters), small sheets 1.5 meters long and 0.6 meters wide are ideal. Or a standard-width plasterboard sheet three meters long, cut in half.

How to transport drywall correctly so as not to damage it

Sheets of plasterboard are transported only in a horizontal position. They can be stacked or stacked. In this case, the sheets are placed on the pallet with the front side inward.
This material is quite brittle. Extreme care must be taken when loading and unloading.
To transport drywall in small quantities, you can use a trunk passenger car(after laying a beam on it every 30 centimeters) or a small truck.
In the back of a truck, the sheets must be laid on a clean floor. Put others on top building materials like bags of cement or cans of paint are not allowed. It is best to make a pallet for the sheets from bars, and cover the entire package with wrapping paper or polyethylene on top, thereby protecting the building material from dirt and dust.

Secret devices for conveniently carrying plasterboards

When carrying plasterboard sheets, carrying handles are a great help; they can only be used in pairs.

When transferring, a sheet (or two sheets) is held with your free hand. This transportation option is intended for private houses and apartments. For large construction sites Equipped trolleys with supports are more suitable.

How many people do you need to carry?

With all the variety of plasterboard sheets, standard and waterproof types are most often used. Arched ones require the participation of a specialist in installation. But in any case, you can’t do without help. Therefore, feel free to involve at least one or two family members in the transportation and installation. Good luck with your renovation!

Drywall is a building material that consists of three layers: gypsum filler between sheets of cardboard. This material is very popular in construction. In the article you will find out how much 1 sheet of drywall weighs with normal area, volume and density.

Why know the weight of drywall

To determine the mass, we take the sheet area - 1 m2. The weight also depends on its parameters: thickness, area and properties. It happens:

Ordinary (gypsum board)
Moisture resistant (GKLV)
Fire resistant (GKLO)
Moisture- and fire-resistant (GKLVO)

Ordinary or standard - used for indoor work. Humidity should not exceed 70-75%.

Moisture resistant– allows you to work in a damp room. They can cover walls and ceilings in the bathroom and kitchen.

Fire resistant– can be used as secondary fire protection.

The weight of drywall is worth knowing in order to:

Correctly calculate the load on the frame to which the cladding will be attached, and also decide how many fasteners will be required
Understand whether you have the strength to do the installation yourself or ask someone
Calculate what the load on transport will be during transportation of the material
Decide how many loaders will be needed to bring in all the sheets

The characteristics of the material are as follows:

specific gravity about 1200 – 1500 kg/m3
thermal conductivity is in the range of 0.21-0.32 W/(m*K)
strength with a thickness of up to 10 mm is approximately 12-15 kilograms.

How much does drywall weigh according to GOST?

The specific gravity of GKLVO and GKLO is from 0.8 to 1.06 kilograms.

How much does 1 m of 2 sheets of different types weigh?

To answer this question, let’s look at the types of drywall:

Wall. It has a thickness of 12-12.5 millimeters. The sizes vary: 2000x600 mm, 2500x1200 mm and 3000x1200 mm. The weight of one sheet depends on the size: 15, 37.5 and 45 kilograms, respectively.
Ceiling. It has a thickness of 9 to 9.5 millimeters. The dimensions are the same as for the wall one. Specific gravity is 11.4, 28.5 and 34.2 kilograms.
Arched. The thickness of the sheet is about 6.5 millimeters. The size is the same as the previous ones. The specific gravity is 7.8, 19.5 and 23.4 kg.

How much does a 9 mm thick sheet of plasterboard weigh per 1 sq.m? Or how much does a 12 mm thick sheet of drywall weigh per 1 sq.m?

Take a look at the following plate:

The volumetric weight of gypsum boards is calculated using the formula:

weight = thickness of one sheet * 1.35

How much does a package of drywall weigh? Quantity per pack

Now that we've figured out the weight of one sheet, let's see how much a pack weighs.

It is supplied without packaging, with an average quantity of 50-60 sheets. They are stored in packs that stand on a pallet. Then the question arises: how can all this be transported? There is a price tag here. Alternatively, you can rent a truck to move materials without worrying about increased prices due to volume.

Let's take a look at the table:

Sheet thickness, mm	Sheet size (width - length), mm	Number of sheets per package, pcs	Pack weight, kg
9,5	1200-2500	66	1445
9,5	1200-2500	64	1383
12,5	1200-2500	51	1469
12,5	1200-3000	54	1866
12,5	1200-3000	49	1727

Load capacity Gazelles– 1.5 tons, so one package of medium-thick sheets can fit.

U KAMAZ– 10 tons, fits 7-8 packs.

U trucks– 20 tons, you can transport about 15-16 packages.

We hope that the article will clear up all the points and explain all the subtleties.

So, if you decide to make a renovation, then drywall is what you need. From the main one: plasterboard with a thickness of 12 mm, the weight of the sheet is 10 - 13 kg. The weight of 12.5-thick drywall is about the same. Before purchasing packages, we advise you to calculate the volumetric weight per 1 sq.m. and decide how you will deliver it to where it is required.

How much does a sheet of drywall weigh and why do you need to know this parameter?

When purchasing building materials, we are primarily interested in their quality and cost. But there are other parameters that you need to pay attention to and on which the reliability of the construction or finishing will depend. Let's take an example of how much drywall weighs, what its weight depends on, and why you need to know it at all.

What does information about the mass of gypsum plasterboards give?

This parameter may be necessary to know in order to:

Calculate the load on the frame and base, to which the cladding will be attached. And, accordingly, decide on the type and quantity of fasteners. If this is not done, the structure may collapse.

Find out if you can install it yourself or you will need an assistant.
Calculate the load on vehicle , if you are going to do without delivery and bring the materials yourself.

Determine the need for movers for lifting large slabs to your floor.

Manufacturers and suppliers, in addition to the actual weight, often have to calculate the volumetric weight, which depends on the density and dimensions of the cargo. But more on that below.

GKL weight

Drywall consists of a gypsum board and a paper (cardboard) shell. The main weight comes from gypsum, since the shell is thin and does not have much influence on this parameter.

What does the weight of the slab depend on?

It is easy to assume that the weight of a sheet of drywall depends on its size and thickness.

It can be different: from 6.5 to 12.5 mm. There are also more massive slabs up to 24 mm, but they are almost never used in individual construction.

Image	Type, thickness and application of plasterboard
	Arched gypsum board 6.5 mm used to create curved lines - arches, figured structures. It is more flexible than products of greater thickness.
	Ceiling gypsum board 9.5 mm- the main material for installing suspended ceilings.
	Wall gypsum board 12.5 mm- more durable and used for leveling walls and creating structures for tiling, artificial stone etc.
	Special plasterboard 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 mm. It is used when increased strength requirements are imposed on gypsum plasterboard structures.

As for the sizes, standard slabs have a width of 120 cm and a length of 250 cm. But other sizes can be found on sale: 60x120 cm, 60x200 cm, 120x300 cm, 120x400 cm. It is clear that with the same thickness they will weigh differently in depending on the area.

Also, how much 1 sheet of drywall weighs can be influenced by its composition, which depends on the purpose:

Regular drywall gray color consists of gypsum without additives;
Moisture resistant sheets(GKLV) green in color contain fungicidal and hydrophobic additives;
Fire resistant boards(GKLO) pink color reinforced with fiberglass.

Weight according to GOST

According to GOST 6266-97, weight 1 sq.m. plasterboard in kg must correspond to the following values:

GKL and GKLV - no more than 1s;
GKLO and GKLVO (moisture- and fire-resistant) - not less than 0.8s and not more than 1.06s.

Here s is the sheet thickness in mm.

Actual sheet weight

The thicker gypsum board, the more it weighs. For example, a 12 mm thick sheet is twice as heavy as a 6 mm sheet of the same size. On average, gypsum board - weight 1m2 is taken equal to:

With a thickness of 6.5 mm – 5 kg;
With a thickness of 9.5 mm – 7.5 kg;
With a thickness of 12.5 mm - 9.5 kg.

These values will help calculate the mass of one product. They are shown in the table.

Package weight

Drywall is supplied unpackaged, in packs of 49 to 66 pieces, or packed in shrink film.

The price of transportation for some companies depends not on the actual weight, but on the volumetric weight, since only a certain volume of cargo can be placed in a carriage or van, regardless of its weight.

In the case of gypsum plasterboard, the volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the slab thickness in mm by 1.35 (gypsum density). In other words, the volumetric weight of 1 sq.m. a sheet of 6.5 mm is taken equal to 8.8 kg. Because it is not profitable for carriers to “carry air.”

But drywall is a fairly dense material, and there are almost no voids in the packaging, so actual weight is often taken into account in calculations.

The following table shows the approximate weights of different packages.

Thickness, mm	Dimensions, cm	Number of sheets in a pack, pcs	Package weight, kg
9,5	120x250	66	1445
9,5	120x250	64	1383
12,5	120x250	51	1469
12,5	120x300	54	1866
12,5	120x300	49	1727

These numbers will help you understand how many packs can be loaded into a car depending on its carrying capacity. For example:

In Gazelle, capacity 1.5 t - 1 pack;
In KAMAZ, capacity 10 t - 8 packs;
A Eurotruck with a capacity of 20 tons contains 16 packs.

Conclusion

If you decide to use drywall for repairs, it will be useful to find out the weight of 1 m2 of this material in advance in order to calculate the load from the structure and the total weight of the transported cargo. If you are a supplier or carrier of building materials, you may also need to know such a parameter as volumetric weight.

You now know how these values are determined. Additionally, you can watch the video in this article or ask questions in the comments.

Drywall today is very popular as a construction and finishing material. It is convenient to use, durable, practical, and easy to install. Our article is devoted to the features and characteristics of this material, and, in particular, its weight.

Peculiarities

Drywall (another name is “dry gypsum plaster») – required material for the construction of partitions, cladding and other purposes. Regardless of the sheet manufacturing company, manufacturers try to maintain general principles production. One sheet consists of two sheets of construction paper (cardboard) and a core consisting of gypsum with various fillers. Fillers allow you to change the properties of drywall: some allow it to be resistant to moisture, others enhance sound insulation, and still others give the product fireproof properties.

Initially, plasterboard was used only for leveling walls - this was its intended purpose; now it is increasingly used as a structural material.

Characteristics

The standard sheet width is 120 cm or, if we convert this to mm, 1200.

Standard sizes provided by manufacturers:

3000x1200 mm;
2500x1200 mm;
2000x1200 mm.

Drywall has a number of advantages:

Eco-friendly material - does not contain harmful impurities.
High fire resistance (even with ordinary drywall).
Easy installation - no need to hire a special team.

Main characteristics of drywall:

Specific gravity in the range from 1200 to 1500 kg/m3.
Thermal conductivity is within 0.21-0.32 W/ (m*K).
Strength with a thickness of up to 10 mm varies around 12-15 kg.

Types

For high-quality repairs, it is preferable to have an idea not only of the options for using drywall, but also of its characteristics.

In construction it differs:

GKL. The usual type of drywall, used to create interior walls, suspended ceilings and structures different levels, partitions, design elements and niches. Distinctive feature – gray top and bottom layers of cardboard.
GKLV. Moisture resistant sheet. Used in the bathroom or kitchen, on window slopes. The moisture-resistant effect is achieved through modifiers in the gypsum core. Has green cardboard
GKLO. Fire resistant material. It is necessary for installing ventilation or air ducts when covering fireplaces, building facades, and in boiler rooms. Provides increased fire protection. Contains fire retardants in the core. It has a red or pinkish color.
GKLVO. A sheet that combines moisture and fire resistance. This type is used when finishing baths or saunas. May have a yellowish color.

Why know the weight?

At self-repair Few people think about the weight of building materials. The sheet of drywall is solid, has a certain size, and if the building does not have a freight elevator, the question arises of how to lift it to the desired floor, bring it into the apartment and, in general, move it. This also includes the method of transporting materials: can the trunk of your car accommodate required quantity sheets, and whether the vehicle can withstand the declared load capacity. Next question there will be a determination of the number of people who can cope with this physical work.

For large-scale repairs or redevelopment, a larger amount of materials is needed, therefore, transportation costs will already be calculated, since the carrying capacity of transport is limited.

Knowing the weight of the sheet is also necessary to calculate the optimal load on the frame to which the cladding will be attached or the number of fasteners. For example, if you calculate how much it weighs ceiling structure from plasterboard, it becomes clear why the determination of weight should not be neglected. Weight also indicates the possibility or impossibility of bending the sheet to make arches and other decorative elements - the smaller the weight, the easier it is to bend it.

State regulations

Construction is a responsible business, so there is a special GOST 6266-97 that determines the weight of each type of plasterboard sheet. According to GOST, an ordinary sheet should have a specific gravity of no more than 1.0 kg per 1 m2 for each millimeter of thickness; for moisture-resistant and fire-resistant products, the range varies from 0.8 to 1.06 kg.

The weight of drywall is directly proportional to its type: it is customary to distinguish between wall, ceiling and arched sheets; their thickness will be 6.5 mm, 9.5 mm, 12.5 mm, respectively.

The volumetric weight of gypsum plasterboard is calculated by the formula: weight (kg) = sheet thickness (mm) x 1.35, where 1.35 is the constant average density of gypsum.

Plasterboard sheets are produced rectangular shape standard sizes. Weight is calculated by multiplying the area of the sheet by the weight per square meter.

Package weight

When planning large-scale construction work You need to consider how much material you will need. Typically, drywall is sold in packs of 49 to 66 pieces. in each. For more accurate information, check with the store where you plan to purchase the material.

Gazelle, capacity 1.5 t – 1 package;
Kamaz capacity 10 t – 8 packages;
Truck capacity 20 t – 16 packages.

Precautions

Plasterboard sheet is a rather fragile material, it is easy to break or damage. For a comfortable repair or construction, you must follow a few tips:

Sheets should only be transported and stored in a horizontal position, on a perfectly flat surface. Any debris, stone or bolt can damage the material.
The plasterboard sheet must be moved only vertically and only by two people to avoid vibration.
When carrying, you need to hold the sheet with one hand from below, and hold it with the other from above or to the side. This method of carrying is very inconvenient, so professionals use special devices - hooks, which make carrying comfortable.

The material must be protected from moisture, direct and diffuse sun rays, heating sources during storage and installation, even if it is moisture-proof or fire-resistant. This will help maintain the strength of the material and its durability.
Sheets can be stored outdoors for up to 6 hours, packed in special material and in the absence of frost.
With low cost and high strength, plasterboard is very available material. The price for one sheet depends on the type of sheet: the cheapest of all types is gypsum board. Because of my low price it is the one that is used most often. The price for a fire-resistant or moisture-resistant analogue is much higher. The most expensive type is flexible arched plasterboard, it has an additional reinforcing layer.
When determining the repair estimate, it is necessary to calculate not only the amount of material and its weight, but also the cost of constructing the frame.

Drywall is chosen as a building material for many reasons. When working with it, you need to know all its parameters and characteristics. Special attention refers to how much drywall weighs. However, there is no clear answer to this question, because this building material has different sizes, thickness and purpose. Therefore, you will have to delve deeper into the classification to find out the weight of the gypsum sheet.

It would seem that the weight of drywall is not information that can play decisive role, but this is a misconception. Almost no one cuts plasterboard outside the apartment, which means that solid pieces of material need to be brought into the house somehow. If there is no freight elevator, then you need to take the stairs. In this case, it will not be superfluous to know the weight of the drywall, since it will have to be brought in manually. It may be possible to take three sheets at a time, or maybe no more than one.

When creating interior partitions and other structures, their weight is very important. In particular, it can influence the choice of profile and the amount of fasteners. Knowing how much a sheet of drywall weighs, you can calculate how much it will weigh suspended ceiling. Based on this, you can calculate the number of necessary hangers and dowels. Having data on the mass of the drywall used, you can calculate what load will be created on the wall, floor and ceiling.

The weight of the sheet will tell you whether it can be bent and how successfully it will turn out. The more weight the harder worksheet bends. The weight is most affected by the thickness of the gypsum board. A sheet 12.5 mm thick is difficult to bend. On the other hand, if the weight is small, then the sheet bends easier. With a thickness of 6 mm, the sheet is bent into an arc with bare hands.

What does the weight of 1 m 2 gypsum board depend on?

The obvious parameters of gypsum board that affect the weight of the sheet are its length, width and thickness. Therefore, let’s skip them and consider what else can affect the mass. To do this, you need to know what this building material is made of. Essentially, hardened plaster with functional additives was wrapped in construction paper. Here's how the mass is distributed in the sheet itself:

90-94% of the mass is gypsum;
4-6% of the mass is cardboard;
1-2% of the mass comes from various additives (PVA, starch, etc.);

The weight of drywall varies depending on the proportions of the above components. The composition varies depending on the type of gypsum board. Regular, moisture-resistant and fire-resistant gypsum boards use gypsum with various additives to enhance their characteristics. Therefore, gypsum boards, gypsum boards and gypsum boards will have different weights, despite the same parameters of length, width and thickness.

Humidity greatly affects how much 1 sheet of drywall weighs. The drier the room, the less the weight of the sheet. The higher the humidity, the more gypsum absorbs it, increasing its mass.

It is recommended to let the drywall rest in the room where the repair is being carried out before work. Its humidity will be equal to the humidity in the room and during operation it will not dry out or increase in volume. It is better for the plasterboard to dry or moisten before it goes into work.

Now the logical question arises, how can you determine the weight of drywall, if this parameter is influenced by so many factors, some of which may change over time (humidity). For this purpose, there is GOST 6266-97, which specifies how the weight of a given building material is determined. This is done as follows.

The gypsum board is placed in a drying chamber, where it remains for 24 hours at a temperature of 40-42 degrees.
The mass of the sheet is measured, and then it is returned to the chamber for at least another two hours.
The previous procedure is repeated until the mass deviation between the current and previous values is less than 0.1%.
The last result is the mass of the sheet.
Dividing the mass by the product of the length and width of the sheet, we get the weight of drywall per 1 m2.

Weight table depending on type, size and thickness

Drywall from different manufacturers may differ in weight, even if it has the same dimensions and purpose. You can buy building materials Gyproc, Rigips, Lafarge, Volma, Plato, Belgips, Bau Gips, etc. However, the most popular Knauf products, so we will focus on it. How much a plasterboard sheet weighs can be found in the table.

Drywall weight
View	Sheet size (mm)	Thickness (mm)	Sheet weight (kg)	Weight 1 sq.m. (kg)
Wall	1200x2000	12,5	22,32	9,3
	1200x2500		27,9
	1200x3000		33,48
Moisture resistant	1200x2000	12,5	24,24	10,1
	1200x2500		30,3
	1200x3000		36,3
Moisture resistant ceiling	1200x2000	9,5	24	10
	1200x2500		30
Ceiling	1200x2000	9,5	17,5	7,3
	1200x2500		21,9
Arched	1200x2500	6,5	18	6
	1200x3000		21,6
Fire resistant	1200x2500	12,5	30,6	10,2

As can be seen from the table, the weight of gypsum board 12.5 mm varies significantly depending on the type of sheet. The same applies to sheets with other thicknesses. Do not forget that the data provided is not the ultimate truth. It is worth considering that weight will change due to humidity and temperature. These changes are minor, but just in case, it’s worth taking into account a possible error of up to 5% (this also takes into account fluctuations among different manufacturers).
