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

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

Does it matter which way the board runs?

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.

Can the taping crew start right after you board an Bulyea Heights home?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Bulyea Heights.

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.
