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

Green board or purple board covers the Leger exterior-foundation walls and the plumbing and laundry areas. Interior Leger partition walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” drywall.

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

Moisture-resistant board — green or purple — goes on all Leger walls against the exterior foundation and around plumbing and laundry. For Leger interior partitions clear of moisture, standard 1/2” drywall is the right product. An Leger suite conversion specs fire-rated 5/8” Type X above and soundproof board between. We specify the right product for each Leger surface at the on-site quote before we start.

Can you board a basement that was partially started?

All the time. We assess what is already there — whether the board choice is correct for each surface, whether the framing is square enough to board, whether any board needs to come down — and give you a straight price to finish it properly. Boarding over issues is not how we work in Leger.

Basement drywall board types used in Leger homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Leger

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

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

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

Our Leger basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Leger is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Walls beside a bathroom or laundry in an Leger basement call for moisture-resistant board. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. We walk the Leger 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. Leger basement ceilings usually carry bulkheads, beam wraps and posts that the boarding has to negotiate. All of it gets taped to the same Level 4 standard we hold on Leger walls. When we leave the Leger basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
