Does Dunluce taping follow straight after boarding?

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 Dunluce.

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

In Dunluce, 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 Dunluce home.

Do you hang the ceiling board before the walls?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up first on every Edmonton installation job. Wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints unsupported — they crack sooner and perform worse under tape.

Do you do drywall installation in Dunluce?

Yes — Dunluce is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.

How long does drywall installation take in an Dunluce home?

Timeline depends on scope. We give you a specific timeline at the on-site quote. Most single-room or single-area jobs in Dunluce are complete in one to two days. Larger basement or whole-home jobs take longer and are scoped precisely before we start.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Dunluce 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.

Our drywall installation process in Dunluce in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Dunluce homes

Every boarding job in Dunluce starts with the ceiling. In Dunluce we board ceilings first — the wall board tucks under and helps carry the ceiling. Skip the Dunluce order and the ceiling joints go unsupported and crack. In Dunluce, 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 Dunluce

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

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 Dunluce suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.
