Why North Glenora homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing in North Glenora

When the North Glenora permit inspector walks it, the board spec is already correct.

Basement drywall board types in Edmonton homes

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. In North Glenora 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. For bathrooms and laundry in North Glenora, moisture-resistant board goes on every wall. 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.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt?

Size, board spec and finish level

The cost in Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt depends on the square footage, the board spec (moisture-resistant on exterior walls, fire-rated and soundproof if there is a suite), and the finish level. We price off the layout and a site look.
