Basement drywall board types used in Rhatigan Ridge homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Rhatigan Ridge

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

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

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

Our Rhatigan Ridge basement drywall process, step by step

Board selection and surface mapping before we pull the first sheet

Basement drywall in Rhatigan Ridge is not one-product-fits-all. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant board. Bathroom- and laundry-adjacent walls in Rhatigan Ridge basements are always moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings need fire-rated. Party walls need soundproof. We walk the Rhatigan Ridge 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. The typical Rhatigan Ridge basement ceiling works around ductwork bulkheads, beam wraps and support posts. Every bulkhead and wrap in your Rhatigan Ridge basement is taped to the same Level 4 finish as the flat walls. When we leave the Rhatigan Ridge basement, it looks consistent from floor to ceiling.
