What type of drywall do you use for exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

Moisture-resistant (green board or purple board) on all walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry. For Glenwood interior partitions clear of moisture, standard 1/2” drywall is the right product. For legal suites, 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling and soundproof board on party walls. We specify before we start.

How long does basement drywall take in a Glenwood home?

Expect two to four Glenwood boarding days plus two to three finishing days — drying time between mud coats is non-negotiable. The extra partitions and rated board of a Glenwood suite conversion stretch the timeline. Honest scheduling in Glenwood: the quoted timeline is the real one.

Do you stand behind your basement drywall in Glenwood?

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

Is moisture-resistant board standard in Glenwood basements?

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

Is Level 5 available for Glenwood basement walls?

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