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

Yes, and we do it regularly.

We never board over problems in an Athlone basement.

Do you cover all of Edmonton for basement drywall?

Yes — we cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Albany, Baranow, Baturyn, Edmonton and surrounding communities, 7 days a week. The only exception is downtown high-rise towers, which require working-at-heights permits and building-management access we do not carry.

Do you stand behind your basement drywall in Athlone?

Yes. We walk the finished Athlone basement with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Athlone drywall in context

About Athlone

Named in honour of the Earl of Athlone, Canada's Governor-General from 1940-46, Athlone is located north of the Canadian National Rail line.

What we see in Athlone

In Athlone the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Basement drywall board types used in Athlone homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Athlone

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Athlone basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. It handles lighter on site and finishes identically to the rest of your Athlone home. Most interior basement partition walls in Athlone homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Athlone homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Athlone basement bathrooms and laundry rooms take moisture-resistant board wall-to-wall. In Athlone, suite ceilings take 5/8” Type X fire-rated board — no substitutes. Install STC soundproof board on the Athlone party wall and the quiet is immediately noticeable. Surface mapping and product specification happen at the Athlone quote — before anything starts.

Why Athlone homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Athlone

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Athlone basement before we price it and specify the right board in writing — moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the suite spec calls for it. No call-backs before your Athlone permit inspection — the spec is right the first time.

Our Edmonton basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection before we start — right product for every surface

Basement drywall in Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Any wall touching a bathroom or laundry needs moisture-resistant. If there is a legal suite below or above, the ceiling and party walls need fire-rated. STC-rated soundproof board between the suite and the main living area reduces noise transmission significantly. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet — not after the inspector flags it.

Boarding, taping and mudding in Edmonton basements

Once the right board is on the right surfaces, every seam, inside corner, outside corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying time between each, sanded flat. Basement ceilings in Edmonton homes often have bulkheads for HVAC, beams and posts that need framing around them. We tape all of that to the same standard as the walls. When we leave, the basement looks the same quality from floor to ceiling.

Basement drywall board types used in Athlone homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Athlone

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside a Athlone 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 Athlone basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. Most interior basement partition walls in Athlone homes use standard board.

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

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