If you've ever taped drywall in a home
with 9-foot-high ceilings, you know
what a nuisance it can be to hide the
extra seam created by the 1-foot-wide
filler strip. The problem isn't so much
the extra taping; it's the fact that the
narrow strip usually places a tapered
edge next to a butt edge, which is one
of the hardest seams to tape. But Gyproc
54-inch Wide Gypsum Board lets you finish
9-foot walls without the filler.
The only difference between this and
ordinary 4x8 drywall is that it's bigger
— 54 inches wide and 12 feet long
(which, of course, makes it heavier).
It's manufactured with the same papers
and core materials used in
