Mayfield drywall in context

Drywall board types used in Mayfield homes

Standard 1/2” drywall — the right choice for most Mayfield walls

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Mayfield homes away from moisture exposure. It is the most common board we install, finishes the same as the rest of the house and is what most Mayfield walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Mayfield homes use standard 1/2” board.

Moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof — where spec matters in Mayfield

Exterior basement walls in Mayfield homes need moisture-resistant board. In Mayfield, every bathroom and laundry wall takes moisture-resistant board. An Mayfield suite ceiling must carry 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. In Mayfield, the suite-to-main party wall takes STC soundproof board. The right board per Mayfield surface is set at the quote for a clean inspection.

Why Mayfield homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

Boarding done right means the finish can be done right in Mayfield

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Un-level Mayfield board, mid-field seams or wide screw spacing all make trouble for the finishers. We board every Mayfield job the way a taping specialist would want it boarded — because we are the taping specialist. When we finish the boarding, we can finish the taping to Level 4 without fighting the installation underneath.

What affects the cost of drywall installation in Mayfield?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Mayfield

The cost of drywall installation in Mayfield comes down to four main factors: total square footage of wall and ceiling, board type (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated and soundproof are different costs), ceiling complexity (flat vs. vaults, bulkheads, soffits add setup), and new-build or renovation amid the existing Mayfield trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Mayfield homes — right product on every surface

Not every surface in an Mayfield home needs the same board. Exterior foundation walls need moisture-resistant. Mayfield wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. The Mayfield suite ceiling is 5/8” Type X fire-rated. STC soundproof board helps on Mayfield suite party walls. Standard 1/2” suits Mayfield interior walls clear of moisture. We choose the Mayfield board per surface up front, not post-inspection.

Our drywall installation process in Mayfield, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Mayfield homes

Every boarding job in Mayfield starts with the ceiling. The Mayfield ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Mayfield, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Mayfield wall board goes up before the ceiling is complete. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Mayfield

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. Seams on framing, not between studs — the Mayfield standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Mayfield jobs. We hold Mayfield board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is done in an Mayfield 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 Mayfield suite party walls. We specify the right product for each surface before we pull the first sheet.
