Basement drywall board types used in Sakaw homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Sakaw

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

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

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