What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

In Britannia Youngstown, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Away from moisture, Britannia Youngstown interior walls get standard 1/2” board. Legal suites in Britannia Youngstown take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Britannia Youngstown surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

Why does the ceiling get boarded first?

So the wall sheets push up underneath and support the ceiling edges. The other way leaves the ceiling perimeter unsupported, which is where cracking starts, and it gives a tighter joint at the wall-ceiling line.

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.

We board every Edmonton job the way we would want it boarded before we tape it: ceiling first, correct screw pattern, seams on framing, board plumb. The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.

Gapping at the floor and around openings

Board should not touch

A small gap at the slab or subfloor keeps board from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move.

Around windows and doors

Joints are kept away from the corners of openings, because a joint that lines up with a corner is exactly where an Britannia Youngstown house concentrates movement and where cracks appear first. It costs an offcut and saves a callback.

The number we quote is the number you pay

Priced on site, then fixed

An install price that moves halfway through is the most common complaint we hear about the trade. We quote Britannia Youngstown homeowners a fixed price at the on-site quote and the number does not change.
