Basement drywall board types used in Webber Greens homes

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Webber Greens

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior partition walls inside an Webber Greens basement that have no moisture exposure — the walls separating a home office from a bedroom, partition walls in a recreation room or home theatre. Lighter to hang, identical finish — it blends with the rest of the Webber Greens house. Most interior basement partition walls in Webber Greens homes use standard board.

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

Exterior foundation walls in Webber Greens homes need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Moisture-resistant board wraps every wall of Webber Greens basement bathrooms and laundries. Webber Greens legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. Party walls between an Webber Greens suite and the main living space benefit significantly from STC soundproof board — the difference is audible. We map each Webber Greens surface at the on-site quote and specify the right product before we start.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for basement drywall

We spec the board before we touch the framing

Most drywall crews in Edmonton board everything the same way and leave the homeowner to sort out inspection issues later. We walk every basement before we price it and specify the right product for each surface in writing. Moisture-resistant where it belongs, fire-rated where code requires, soundproof where the spec calls for it. You will not be calling us back to redo board before a permit inspection.

Fixed price, same-day reply, all Edmonton quadrants

We cover all four Edmonton quadrants, Edmonton, Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and Edmonton, 7 days a week — every established and newer Edmonton community from Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury to Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury. Free on-site quotes, fixed prices — you know the number before we start and it does not change.

Our Webber Greens basement drywall process, step by step

Board to spec

In Webber Greens we board ceiling first, then walls, with moisture-resistant board on every exterior foundation wall and fire-rated or soundproof board where a suite is involved.

Tape, mud and finish

We tape the Webber Greens basement, apply mud coats with full drying time, then sand to a flat Level 4 or 5, checking under light before the paint hand-off.

Basement Drywall work we do in Webber Greens

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Webber Greens home

A significant number of Webber Greens homes from the 1960s and 1970s have basements that were never finished, or were finished to a rough standard. We assess the framing, check for moisture, spec the right board for each surface and board, tape and mud the entire space to Level 4. We leave the basement paint-ready so the homeowner can move straight to flooring and paint.

Legal suite conversions in Webber Greens — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Webber Greens homes from the 1960s and 1970s are one of the most common basement drywall calls we handle. The conversion requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling between the suite and the floor above, soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant board in any bathroom or laundry area. We board to the Edmonton spec and the suite passes inspection without a callback.

What affects the cost of basement drywall in Webber Greens?

Linear footage, board type and basement layout in Webber Greens homes

The cost of basement drywall in Webber Greens comes down to five things: total linear footage of framed wall, ceiling square footage and height, the number of bulkheads, soffits and mechanical chases, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, soundproof and fire-rated are different costs), and how much mechanical, plumbing and structural work the walls need to accommodate. Your Webber Greens basement gets measured in person and priced firm before the work begins.

Legal suite requirements and basement drywall spec in Webber Greens

If the basement includes a legal secondary suite, the board spec changes significantly. 5/8” Type X fire-rated board is mandatory on the Webber Greens suite-to-upper-floor ceiling. STC-rated soundproof board belongs on every Webber Greens suite-to-main party wall. Exterior walls and damp-prone areas in your Webber Greens basement are boarded moisture-resistant. We settle this at the Webber Greens spec stage — not when inspection catches it.
