Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes

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 Keheewin 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 Keheewin 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.

Why Keheewin homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in Keheewin

Most drywall crews board every surface the same way and leave the homeowner to deal with inspection issues after. We map every Keheewin 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. We build Keheewin basements to pass inspection on the first visit, not the second.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Keheewin?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Keheewin homes

The cost of basement drywall in Keheewin comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated are different costs), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls need to accommodate. We measure your Keheewin basement in person and fix the price before anything starts.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Keheewin

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The Keheewin suite ceiling assembly runs 5/8” Type X fire-rated board by requirement. In Keheewin, suite party walls take STC-rated soundproof board. Every exterior wall and wet area in an Keheewin basement gets moisture-resistant board. Before board goes up in Keheewin, this is specified — not retrofitted post-inspection.
