Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes in Edmonton

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 North Glenora 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 North Glenora 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.

Our Edmonton basement drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Board selection before we start — right product for every surface

Basement drywall in Edmonton is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Any wall touching a bathroom or laundry needs moisture-resistant. If there is a legal suite below or above, the ceiling and party walls need fire-rated. STC-rated soundproof board between the suite and the main living area reduces noise transmission significantly. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet — not after the inspector flags it.

Boarding, taping and mudding in Edmonton basements

Once the right board is on the right surfaces, every seam, inside corner, outside corner and fastener head gets taped and mudded to Level 4 — three coats, proper drying time between each, sanded flat. Basement ceilings in Edmonton homes often have bulkheads for HVAC, beams and posts that need framing around them. We tape all of that to the same standard as the walls. When we leave, the basement looks the same quality from floor to ceiling.
