Hello All,
I'm a novice skill level with drywall. I'm doing some remodeling projects in my home.
Two quick questions:
#1) I'm going to install sheetrock over painted 70's paneling in a bedroom. What thickness of drywall should I use? 1/4" sufficient?
#2) Two rooms of my house have tall, sloped, foam-tiled ceilings (not drop ceilings) that I want to install sheetrock over. The tiles tested negative for asbestos. Assuming I can hit the rafter studs under the tiles, I'd like to drywall right over the foam tiles and leave them in place. I'm thinking that this is easier than ripping it out and that leaving the tiles in place under the new sheetrock may provide a little extra insulation for cold winter weather. What thickness of sheetrock should I use for this application?
Thanks for any advice.
Noah
