Basement drywall board types used in Westmount homes in Edmonton

Standard drywall — interior basement walls in Westmount

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

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

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

Finishing an unfinished basement in a 1960s and 1970s Westmount home

A significant number of Westmount 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 Westmount — boarding to code

Secondary suite conversions in Westmount 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.
