Do you do legal suite basement drywall in Killarney?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Killarney requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC-rated soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in wet areas. Boarding to spec is why Killarney suites we finish clear inspection.

Is moisture-resistant board standard in Killarney basements?

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

What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Killarney?

Moisture-resistant board — green or purple — goes on all Killarney walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry. Interior Killarney partition walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” drywall. Legal suites in Killarney run 5/8” Type X fire-rated ceilings with soundproof board on the party walls. We specify the right product for each Killarney surface at the on-site quote before we start.

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

A Killarney basement gets its issues corrected first — not hidden behind new board.

Basement Drywall Killarney | Basement Dev

Basement drywall work we do in Killarney

New basement development in Killarney — framed at possession, finished now

Killarney homeowners regularly finish their basements in the first two to five years after possession. The builder framed the space and rough-plumbed it — now it needs boarding, taping and finishing. We assess the framing, spec the right board for every surface and complete the basement to Level 4. When we leave, the space is paint-ready and ready for flooring, whether it becomes a home office, bedroom, recreation room or home theatre.

Legal suite boarding in Killarney basements

With the Edmonton rental market, a number of Killarney homeowners are building legal secondary suites in their unfinished basements. We board to the Edmonton spec: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling between the suite and the main floor, STC soundproof board on party walls, moisture-resistant in the bathroom, laundry and any exterior wall. Fixed price, inspection-ready boarding.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Killarney?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Killarney homes

The cost of basement drywall in Killarney 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 Killarney basement in person and fix the price before anything starts.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Killarney

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. The ceiling between an Killarney suite and the floor above requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between the Killarney suite and the main living space need STC-rated soundproof board. Every exterior wall and wet area in an Killarney basement gets moisture-resistant board. In Killarney we spec this before we board — not after the inspection flags it.

Basement drywall board types used in Killarney homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Killarney

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Killarney basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Killarney house. Most interior basement partition walls in Killarney homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Killarney homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Killarney basement bathrooms and laundries. Killarney legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between an Killarney suite and the main living space benefit significantly from STC soundproof board — the difference is audible. We map each Killarney surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product before we start.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall
