Yes. Running horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones and usually means fewer joints. Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs.

Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Boyle Street wall, running board horizontally puts one long joint at a comfortable working height instead of several vertical ones, and it usually means fewer joints overall.

Why it is planned

Joint placement decides how much finishing the room needs and where the visible risk sits. Sheets hung wherever they happen to reach is the difference between a wall that finishes easily and one that fights you.

Ceilings first, then walls

The order is not arbitrary

Ceiling board goes up first so the wall sheets push up underneath and support its edges.

What it prevents

Doing it the other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, and in an Boyle Street room that is where the cracking starts. It also gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line, which is the joint people look at most.
