Basement drywall board types used in Menisa homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Menisa

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

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

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