Do you take board-only Athlone jobs where we finish ourselves?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Athlone home.

Do you use the right board for code in Athlone?

Yes — moisture-resistant on exterior basement walls and wet areas, fire-rated on garage and suite separations, so your Albany, Baranow, Baturyn project meets code.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Athlone?

Yes. We check the board is flat and fastened before we leave your Athlone job, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Do you do drywall boarding in Athlone?

Yes — boarding in Albany, Baranow, Baturyn is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Albany, Baranow, Baturyn and Northwest.

Can you board only and leave the finishing to us?

Yes — we hang straight and square as a standalone stage, ready for your taper, or we can board and finish it as one job in your Athlone home.

Can you board over my existing plaster?

Often yes, and where plaster is failing across a whole wall it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding it. It costs wall thickness at every opening though — reveals, casings and outlets all need extending, and that is usually what decides it.

Drywall Boarding Athlone Edmonton | Board Hanging

Board hanging in Athlone that makes the taping easier

On Athlone jobs the finish is only as good as the hang: straight, square, tight sheets, staggered joints, correct board per surface. In Athlone we board new builds, additions, basements and renos as a standalone stage, ready for your taper or for us to finish. Athlone is this established Northwest community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so boarding work here is steady. We cover Athlone, Albany, Baranow, Baturyn and Northwest, 7 days a week.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Athlone house typically needs standard board through living areas, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry, Type X in the garage assembly and any rated separation, and sometimes acoustic assemblies in bedrooms.

Ordered as a mix

Getting that right at ordering prevents the substitution that happens when the wrong board is what is on site and the schedule is tight.

Why Athlone homeowners and builders trust Emplastrum

Boarding that makes finishing easy

As a mudding and taping specialist, we board the way we want to receive it — straight, square and tight — because in Albany, Baranow, Baturyn we know good boarding is what makes a flat finish possible.

Fixed price, on schedule

We board across Albany, Baranow, Baturyn and Northwest, 7 days a week. Free on-site quotes and fixed prices — you know the number before we start, we keep the site clean, and we stand behind the work. If something is not right, we come back and make it right.

Butt joints are the enemy

No taper to work with

Factory sheet edges are tapered so tape and compound sit below the surface. A butt joint — two cut ends meeting — has no taper, so the repair has to be built up and feathered wide.

How we reduce them

Longer sheets, planned layout, and running board the length of the wall rather than stacking short pieces. Every butt joint removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.
