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 Gold Bar 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 Gold Bar 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.

Legal suites and basement development in Gold Bar

Straight development

Most basement calls in Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano are straightforward development — rec room, bedrooms, bathroom — boarded and finished to a clean Level 4.

Legal suite conversions

If your Avonmore, Bonnie Doon, Capilano basement is turning into a legal suite, the City of Edmonton spec calls for a fire-rated ceiling and soundproof party walls — we install both. See Legal Suite Drywall Edmonton.
