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 Pembina home.

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.

Does it matter how the board is stored on site?

Yes. It damages at the edges, absorbs moisture from a damp slab and bows if stacked badly. Damaged edges become damaged joints, and a sheet that has taken moisture never finishes properly.

Is boarding-only an option for Pembina builds?

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 Pembina home.

Do you stand behind your boarding in Pembina?

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

Boarding over existing walls in a renovation

Sometimes the right answer

Where Pembina plaster is failing across a wall, boarding over it can be faster and flatter than rebuilding the plaster.

What to watch

It costs wall thickness at every opening — window reveals, door casings and outlets all need extending. We point out those knock-on costs before you choose it, because they are what makes the decision.

Ceilings first, always

Order is structural

Ceiling board goes up before wall board so the wall sheets support the ceiling perimeter. Reversed, the ceiling edge is unsupported and cracks along the wall junction.

Also practical

Working overhead with a clear floor is faster and safer than working around stacked wall sheets, which matters on a whole-house Pembina job.

Why Pembina 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 Pembina we know good boarding is what makes a flat finish possible.

Fixed price, on schedule

We board across Pembina 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.

Choosing board room by room

Not one product

An Pembina 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.

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.
