Basement drywall board types used in Forest Heights homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Forest Heights

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

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

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

Our Forest Heights basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

In Forest Heights we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

Basement drywall work we do across Edmonton in Edmonton

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in Southeast — Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano — is the new development: framing was included at possession, the homeowner wants to finish the space, and they want it done properly to Level 4. We board, tape and finish these Edmonton basements start to finish, with the right board spec on every surface, and leave them ready for flooring and paint.

Basement conversions and suite additions in established Edmonton neighbourhoods

In established Southeast — Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano — the most common basement drywall call is a conversion or suite addition. The basement has old drywall or no drywall, low ceilings, exposed mechanical and an awkward layout. We have done enough of these to know how to frame around the obstacles, spec the right board and leave a basement that looks intentional rather than improvised.
