How Much Drywall Do I Need? For a standard 8 foot ceiling the simple rule of thumb is 3 1/2 times the square footage of the room. An example...if your room is 8'x10', that's 80 square feet. 3 1/2 times 80 is 280 (3.5 x 80 = 280). Each sheet of drywall covers 32 sq feet (4 x 8 = 32) so you would divide 280 by 32 to get the number of sheets needed...in this case the result is 8.75 or rounded to 9 sheets (280 / 32 = 8.75; rounded to 9).
