Basement drywall board types used in Inglewood homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Inglewood

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

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

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