Basement drywall board types used in Graydon Hill homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Graydon Hill

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

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

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

In Graydon Hill 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.

Why Graydon Hill homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Graydon Hill

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Graydon Hill 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 Graydon Hill permit inspection — the spec is right the first time.

Our Graydon Hill basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Graydon Hill is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Bathroom- and laundry-adjacent walls in Graydon Hill basements are always moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. We walk the Graydon Hill basement and map every surface before speccing materials — so the order matches the job and inspection brings no surprises.

Boarding, taping and mudding to Level 4 throughout

With the right board on the right surfaces, every seam, corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying, sanded flat. The typical Graydon Hill basement ceiling works around ductwork bulkheads, beam wraps and support posts. Every bulkhead and wrap in your Graydon Hill basement is taped to the same Level 4 finish as the flat walls. When we leave the Graydon Hill basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
