Layers, in order
| # | Layer | Thickness | Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1/2 in gypsum board, side A | 1/2 in | |
| 2 | 3 5/8 in metal studs | 3 5/8 in | at 16 in o.c. |
| 3 | Acoustic blanket | 3 in | |
| 4 | 5/8 in water-resistant gypsum board, side B | 5/8 in |
Build steps
- Frame the studs (Framer). Tracks, then studs at 16 in.
- Board side A (Drywall). Board on one side of the studs.
- Insulate the cavity (Insulator). Insulation fitted between the studs.
- Board side B (Drywall). Board on the other side.
Materials per 100 sf of wall
From the takeoff of Setout's sample building, across every wall of this type on the typical floors, after doors and windows are cut out. Use it to sanity-check a bid, not as a substitute for a takeoff.
| Material | Per 100 sf |
|---|---|
| 1/2 in dry gypsum | 163 sf |
| 3 in acoustic blanket | 100.0 sf |
| 5/8 in water-resistant gypsum | 36.5 sf |
| 3-5/8 in main tracks | 26.9 lf |
| 3-5/8 in regular stud layout positions | 15.3 ea |

Every wall and floor in Setout opens as an exploded build-up like this one, layer by layer, with the steps to build it. Try it on the sample building, or see how a Setout takeoff works.
