Summary: Learn tips on how to choose the right thickness of drywall in this free DIY garage remodel video.
"Hi! This is John on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip, I will be talking about choosing drywall. There are a lot of different choices when you choose drywall. The drywall that I have chosen for this project is 5/8’s of an inch thick. They also sell half inch thick and 3/8’s inch thick drywall. The reason I chose the thicker drywall is because it is for a garage wall, so you might have a car door open into the drywall. With a thicker drywall it is less likely to put a hole through the drywall, and more likely just to put a dent. I have also chosen a fire resistant drywall. When it comes to fire, you want all the protection that you can have. If you happen to be dry walling in a bathroom, you are going to want to use a mold and mildew resistant drywall. In addition, there are many other types of drywall for different areas that you are dry walling. Lastly I’ve chosen an 8 foot sheet of drywall because my walls are under 8 feet tall. It wouldn’t be very smart to buy a 12 foot section and just have to cut off 4 feet of it. "
