Do you use moisture-resistant board on Allard basement walls?

Yes — on every exterior foundation wall, even with a vapour barrier, in your Allard basement.

Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Allard?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Allard requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in wet areas. Boarding to spec is why Allard suites we finish clear inspection.

Do you serve Allard on weekends?

Yes — we cover Allard and surrounding communities seven days a week. Call or text ' . emp_phone() . ' for a same-day reply.

Can you finish a basement that is partially started in Allard?

Yes, and we do it regularly. We assess what is already there — whether the board type is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether anything needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish the Allard basement properly. An Allard basement gets its issues corrected first — not hidden behind new board.

Does the Allard basement spec include moisture-resistant board?

Yes — on every exterior foundation wall, even with a vapour barrier, in your Allard basement.

Is Level 5 available for Allard basement walls?

Where the paint spec calls for it, yes — most basements finish well at Level 4, and we tell you honestly which your Allard project needs.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall in Edmonton

We spec the board before we touch the framing

Most drywall crews in Edmonton board everything the same way and leave the homeowner to sort out inspection issues later. We walk every basement before we price it and specify the right product for each surface in writing. Moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the spec calls for it. You will not be calling us back to redo board before a permit inspection.

Basement drywall board types used in Allard homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Allard

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Allard basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. In Allard basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Allard homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated — where the spec matters in Allard

Exterior foundation walls in Allard homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. For bathrooms and laundry in Allard, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. Code puts 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on every Allard suite ceiling. The Allard suite-to-main party wall is where STC soundproof board earns its cost — you can hear the difference. The Allard quote includes a surface-by-surface map with the correct product specified up front.
