Do you board for legal suites in Lago Lindo?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Lago Lindo 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. The Lago Lindo suite is boarded to that spec, and inspection follows.

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.

It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.
