What board do you use on exterior basement walls in Edmonton?

In Laurier Heights, exterior foundation walls and plumbing or laundry areas take moisture-resistant board. Away from moisture, Laurier Heights interior walls get standard 1/2” board. Legal suites in Laurier Heights take 5/8” Type X on the ceiling and soundproof party walls. Each Laurier Heights surface gets its board product confirmed at the quote.

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.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

Yes, always. Ceiling board goes up before wall board on every job in Laurier Heights. In Laurier Heights, the wall board tucks under the ceiling board to support it. Out of order, Laurier Heights ceiling joints carry their own weight and crack sooner. In Laurier Heights, walls wait until the ceiling is boarded.

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 Laurier Heights 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 Laurier Heights jobs. We hold Laurier Heights 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.
