Do you board for legal suites in Edmonton?

Yes, and we know the spec. A legal secondary suite in Edmonton requires 5/8” Type X fire-rated board on the ceiling separating the suite from the floor above, STC soundproof board on party walls, and moisture-resistant in all wet areas. We board to that spec so the suite passes inspection.

Do you hang the ceiling board first?

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

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

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

Does Rapperswill taping follow straight after boarding?

Yes — we hang board with seams on framing, correct screw pattern and plumb walls, so a taper (or we ourselves) can start the very next day in Rapperswill.

Do you do drywall installation in Rapperswill?

Yes — Rapperswill is part of our regular service area, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Albany, Athlone, Baranow and Northwest.

Should the board touch the floor?

No. A small gap keeps it from wicking moisture and gives the building room to move. Joints are also kept away from the corners of window and door openings, because that is where movement concentrates.
