One sheet rock contractor replacing the sheet rock in a Houston garage that was flooded by Harvey
says there are two sizes, one thicker than the other. Another sheet rock contractor working inside
the house says just use the standard size. Is there a thicker size that should be used in a garage?


3/8". 1/2", and 5/8" 5/8" for fire rating between house and garage -
required by some codes.


No more 1/4" sheet rock? :-)
