Our drywall installation process in Schonsee, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Schonsee homes

Every boarding job in Schonsee starts with the ceiling. Ceiling board goes up before the walls in Schonsee because the wall board butts up under the ceiling board and helps support it. Skipping that sequence means the Schonsee ceiling joints carry their own weight unsupported and are more likely to crack. We do not start Schonsee walls until the ceiling is done. It is a small thing that makes a significant difference in long-term performance.

Wall boarding, screw pattern and joint placement in Schonsee

Wall board goes up with the correct screw pattern — every 12 inches on the field, every 8 inches at the perimeter. All Schonsee seams land on framing, not between studs. Inside and outside Schonsee corners are clean and square. Schonsee board does not run past window and door frames. When the boarding is done in an Schonsee home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.

Drywall board types used in Schonsee homes

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

Standard 1/2” drywall is correct for interior walls and ceilings in Schonsee 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 Schonsee walls and ceilings should be. Most interior walls and ceilings in Schonsee homes use standard 1/2” board.

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

Exterior basement walls in Schonsee homes need moisture-resistant board. Schonsee wet rooms — bath and laundry — get moisture board throughout. In Schonsee, suite ceilings run 5/8” Type X fire-rated board. The Schonsee suite party wall is built with STC soundproof board. Correct board per Schonsee surface, chosen at the quote, keeps inspection clean.

Drywall installation work we do in Schonsee

Full basement boarding in Schonsee homes

The most common boarding call in Schonsee is full basement installation. The builder framed the space; the homeowner is ready to finish it. We hang the ceiling board first — always — then the walls, with moisture-resistant board on all exterior foundation walls. We use the correct screw pattern, land all seams on framing, and cut around mechanical chases and bulkheads cleanly. When the boarding crew leaves an Schonsee basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Legal suite partition boarding in Schonsee

Secondary suite additions in Schonsee homes require the right board on every surface: 5/8” Type X fire-rated on the ceiling between the suite and the main floor, STC soundproof board on party walls, moisture-resistant in bathrooms and laundry. We board to the Edmonton secondary suite spec so the installation passes inspection without a callback.

Why Edmonton homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

We board the way a finishing specialist wants it boarded

Most boarding crews treat installation as a volume game — get the board up, move on. Every taping problem we have fixed over the years started with a boarding problem underneath it. We board every Edmonton job the way we would want it boarded before we tape it: ceiling first, correct screw pattern, seams on framing, board plumb. The finish is better because the boarding behind it is right.
