Howdy,
Does it matter if I use 5/8" or 1/2" sheetrock to finish the LL ceiling? I'd preferred 5/8" because of better sound barrier.
THX!

It is heavier to handle but thicker is better. Use screws, not nails. Make sure you buy the correct length screws.
Will 1-1/4" drywall screws do?
--------------------
5/8" sheetrock is also required in ceilings of wood structured by fire code throughout the country.Will do.
Thx!
Also don't screw it in too tight.
If you''re working with sixteen inch centres, use the 5/8's. One and a half inch screws. Double screw.
