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

Our Edmonton drywall installation process in Edmonton, step by step

Ceiling board first — always

Every boarding job in Edmonton starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps carry it. Reversing the sequence leaves ceiling joints carrying their own weight unsupported — they perform worse under the tape and are more likely to crack over time. No Haddow wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete.

Wall boarding — screw pattern, joint placement and board selection

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern: every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All seams land on framing. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Haddow jobs. We hold Haddow board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is complete, every surface is at the right plane, the taping crew can start immediately and there is no rework to do before they begin.

Board layout is decided before the first sheet

Where the joints land

On an Haddow 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.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Haddow in Edmonton?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity

The cost of drywall installation in Haddow comes down to the total square footage, the board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof price differently), and whether the job is a new development or a renovation around existing trades. We measure on site and give a fixed price before we start.

Board spec in Haddow

The work here usually calls for settling cracks, nail pops and tired texture. The Haddow quote maps each surface to its correct board — no inspection surprises.
