This material estimator is to be used for general guidance only. Application rates vary and will impact actual material usage and installation time. GP Gypsum does not warrant the accuracy or thoroughness of the results. Test mock ups should be performed to verify material coverage rates and application productivity. Details calculations should be performed by the project estimator. All rates, costs, etc are at the discretion of purchaser and contractor.
