Standard drywall — interior basement walls away from moisture

In Laurier Heights basements it saves handling effort while finishing exactly like the main floors. 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.

If you are converting an older Edmonton bungalow basement to a legal suite, the ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board.
