For Carlisle exterior basement walls, what board do you use?

In Carlisle, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Standard 1/2-inch board for interior walls away from moisture in your Carlisle home.

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.

Carlisle drywall in context

About Carlisle

Part of Castle Downs, Carlisle was first developed in the 1970s.

What we see in Carlisle

In Carlisle 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.

Handling the sheets without damaging them

Damage happens before it goes up

Board stored on edge, dragged, or left where it can take moisture arrives at the wall already compromised, and a crushed edge or a damp corner never finishes well.

On our sites

Stacked flat and dry, carried rather than dragged, and damaged sheets set aside for offcuts rather than hung in an Carlisle room where they will show through the finish.

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. STC soundproof board goes on Carlisle suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.

Ceiling board first — always — in Carlisle homes

Every boarding job in Carlisle starts with the ceiling. In Carlisle we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Carlisle order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Carlisle, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Carlisle

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. In Carlisle, every seam lands on framing, never mid-bay. In Carlisle, every inside and outside corner is square and clean. In Carlisle, board stops clean at window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Carlisle home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.
