Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls away from moisture

Standard 1/2” drywall is fine for interior basement walls that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating rooms inside the basement, partition walls for a home office, bedroom or recreation room. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Argyll house. Most interior basement walls in Edmonton homes use standard board.

Moisture-resistant and fire-rated board — where it matters

Exterior foundation walls — the ones against the concrete — need moisture-resistant board, even with a vapour barrier behind the framing. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Argyll basement bathrooms and laundries. If you are converting an older Edmonton bungalow basement to a legal suite, the ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Soundproof board for party walls between the suite and the rest of the house is worth doing right if you want the suite to be liveable and rentable.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Argyll in Edmonton?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Allendale, Belgravia, CPR Irvine depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.
