What is a butt joint and why avoid it?

Two cut sheet ends meeting, with no factory taper, so the joint has to be built up and feathered wide instead of sitting below the surface. Every one removed at hanging is a bulge the finisher does not have to disguise.

Why does it matter who hangs the board if someone else tapes it?

Because the finisher can only work with what they are given. Sheet layout, butt joints and whether edges land on framing are all decided at hanging, and good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging.

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.

Do you use the right board for code in Lendrum Place?

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

Do you take board-only Lendrum Place 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 Lendrum Place home.

Do you do drywall boarding in Lendrum Place?

Yes — boarding in Lendrum Place is part of our regular work, and we book to your schedule. We also cover Allendale, Argyll, Belgravia and Scona.

Our Lendrum Place drywall boarding process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceilings first, then walls

Boarding in Lendrum Place is done in the right order — ceilings first so the wall sheets support the ceiling edges — with sheets hung tight to the framing and joints staggered so they do not line up and crack.

Square, tight and tape-ready

We cut clean around boxes and openings, keep gaps minimal for the taper, and check the board is flat and fastened properly before we leave. Good boarding makes the finishing faster and the final wall flatter.

Why hanging decides the finish

The finisher inherits the layout

Where the sheets land, how many butt joints there are and whether the edges hit framing all get decided at hanging. A finisher can only work with what they are given.

The cheapest quality decision

Good hanging costs the same in materials as bad hanging. On an Lendrum Place job it is the single highest-leverage stage, and the one clients never see.

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.
