What board do you use for exterior basement walls in Greenfield?

Every Greenfield foundation-facing wall, plus plumbing and laundry, gets moisture-resistant board. Greenfield interior walls away from moisture take standard 1/2” board. Greenfield suite spec: Type X 5/8” fire-rated ceiling, soundproof party walls. The correct board per Greenfield surface is set at the on-site quote.

Do you board for legal suites in Greenfield?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Greenfield requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, and STC soundproof board on the party walls. Moisture-resistant in all wet areas. That spec is how Greenfield suites board and pass inspection.

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.

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

Ceiling board first — always — in Greenfield homes

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

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

Our Greenfield drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first, always

Every boarding job in Greenfield starts with the ceiling, because the wall board butts up under it and helps carry it. In Greenfield, reversing the order under-supports the joints.

Wall board and seams

Walls go up with correct screws and framed seams. In Greenfield, completed boarding hands straight to taping with nothing to fix.
