The wallboard order specifies standard 4-foot-wide gypsum panels. What is that nominal width in inches?

Correct Answer

B) 48 in.

A 4-foot-wide panel is 48 inches wide. Manufacturers also supply 54-inch and other product-specific widths, so verify the actual order rather than assuming every full panel is identical. Width alone does not establish a fire rating or fastening pattern. Source: https://www.usg.com/en-US/p/product/sheetrock-brand-ultralight-panels-141135
