This is particularly helpful for do it yourself homeowners that may not have all the brawn and equipment that the professional drywall contractors have.<\/p>\n<p>This new \u00bd\u201d light weight drywall is constructed out of a patented composite design, and can be used in wood or metal stud framing applications.<\/p>\n<p>The drywall panels can be used on up to 24 inch framing spacing, including ceiling applications when a water-based texture is applied. They also use recycled paper on both their front and back faces.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>As with any drywall, they are designed with tapered edges along their long sides to aid in the concealing of joint compound treatments. They are rated for non-fire applications in such applications as new residential construction and home remodeling. They are manufactured to meet ASTM C1396 Specifications for \u00bd\u201d gypsum wallboard and ceiling board and comply with International Building Code and International Residential Code requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">For information on repairing a large drywall hole<\/span><\/strong>, see the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/how-to-repair-a-large-drywall-hole-ebook\/\">How to Repair a Large Drywall Hole<\/a><\/strong><\/span>&#8221; Ebook from HomeAdditionPlus.com.\u00a0 The &#8220;How to Repair a Large Drywall Hole&#8221; Ebook provides step-by-step instructions on how to repair your damaged wall so that it looks as good as new.<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">See HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/drywall-info\/Drywall-Calculator.htm\">Drywall Calculator<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\"><b>Related\u00a0Information<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #0000ff;\"><b><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/drywall\/coarse-thread-drywall-screws\/\">Using Coarse Thread Drywall Screws<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #0000ff;\"><b><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/drywall\/taping-and-mudding-drywall-instructions\/\">Instructions on How to Tape and Mud Drywall<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: large;\"><b><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/drywall\/cutting-dryer-vent-hole-sheetrock-wall\/\">How to Cut Dryer Vent Hole in Sheetrock<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 align=\"left\"><b><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">Additional Drywall Installation\u00a0Resources from Amazon.com<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<table id=\"AutoNumber9\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1600854699\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1600854699&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=c238b354baf547ed818ba73611fe9684\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=1600854699&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1600854699\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1561587753\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1561587753&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=6d12bd3b6aafbaea79094d6886a42ead\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=1561587753&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1561587753\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: large;\">Free Home Addition Price Quotes with No Obligation!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fill out our 3-5 minute quick and easy form, and receive a free price quote on a house addition from one of our prescreened and licensed home addition contractors.
