Installation's what you did. There's NO benefit nor advantage to the
Horizontal Installation. It's the dumbest practice that ruins new everything
right from the start and provides poor fire protection.
How does it provide poor fire protection? Horizontal instalation
makes it a whole lot easier to hide the joints too, which is why
expert drywallers almost ALWATS install the panels horizontally - and
use sheets longer than 8 feet.
