Basement Drywall Cromdale

Basement drywall board types used in Cromdale homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Cromdale

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Cromdale 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 Cromdale home. Most interior basement partition walls in Cromdale homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Cromdale homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Cromdale basement bathrooms and laundry rooms take moisture-resistant board wall-to-wall. Cromdale legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between an Cromdale suite and the main living space benefit significantly from STC soundproof board — the difference is audible. We map each Cromdale surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product before we start.

Why Cromdale homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Cromdale

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after.

Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes

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. In Cromdale basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. 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. For bathrooms and laundry in Cromdale, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. 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.
