Drywall board types for Edmonton homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Edmonton walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install and finishes the same as the rest of the house. Most interior walls and ceilings in Edmonton homes use standard board.

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

Exterior basement walls need moisture-resistant board even with a vapour barrier. Bathroom and laundry walls need moisture-resistant. Legal suite ceilings require 5/8” Type X fire-rated. The Brander Gardens suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

Brander Gardens drywall in context

About Brander Gardens

Brander Gardens is named for George Brander, whose peony gardens were an attraction for Albertans until the 1940s and were the source of most of the peonies in Alberta.

What we see in Brander Gardens

In Brander Gardens the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Our drywall installation process in Brander Gardens, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Brander Gardens homes

Every boarding job in Brander Gardens starts with the ceiling. The Brander Gardens ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Brander Gardens, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Brander Gardens wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Brander Gardens

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. Seams on framing, not between studs — the Brander Gardens standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Brander Gardens jobs. We hold Brander Gardens board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is done in a Brander Gardens home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Brander Gardens?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Brander Gardens

The cost of drywall installation in Brander Gardens comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaults, bulkheads and soffits add time), and new development vs renovation around the existing Brander Gardens trades and fixtures. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Brander Gardens homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Brander Gardens home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. In Brander Gardens, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Brander Gardens suite ceiling requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Brander Gardens, suite-to-living party walls do better with STC soundproof board. For dry Brander Gardens interior walls, standard 1/2” board is right. In Brander Gardens, the correct board per surface is set at the quote, not after inspection.

Our Brander Gardens drywall installation process, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Brander Gardens starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves Brander Gardens ceiling joints unsupported and more likely to crack later.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and seams

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern and every seam lands on framing. When the Brander Gardens boarding is done, the taping crew can start immediately with no rework.

Drywall installation work we do in Brander Gardens

Room addition and partition boarding in Brander Gardens homes

Brander Gardens homes from the late 1980s and 1990s are at the age where homeowners are adding partitions, converting rooms and opening up floor plans. New walls go up and existing rooms get reboarded when layouts change. We hang standard 1/2” board on all new partition walls, confirm the framing is square before we start and leave the new walls ready for the taping crew. Board seams land on studs, corners are clean and nothing is proud of the adjacent surface.

Water damage reboarding in Brander Gardens

Water damage in Brander Gardens homes from the late 1980s and 1990s is one of the most common boarding calls we get. A bathroom leak, a roof problem or a burst pipe means the affected board comes out and new board goes up on the exposed framing. We assess what needs to come down, remove only what is damaged, re-board to match the existing surface height and leave the wall ready for taping.
