Basement drywall board types used in Rundle Heights homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Rundle Heights

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

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

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

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.

New basement developments in Edmonton’s newer communities

The most common basement drywall job in North Central — Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights — is the new development: framing was included at possession, the homeowner wants to finish the space, and they want it done properly to Level 4. We board, tape and finish these Edmonton basements start to finish, with the right board spec on every surface, and leave them ready for flooring and paint.

Basement conversions and suite additions in established Edmonton neighbourhoods

In established North Central — Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights — the most common basement drywall call is a conversion or suite addition. The basement has old drywall or no drywall, low ceilings, exposed mechanical and an awkward layout. We have done enough of these to know how to frame around the obstacles, spec the right board and leave a basement that looks intentional rather than improvised.
