Drywall board types used in Silver Berry homes

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

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

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

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

Why Silver Berry homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

Boarding done right means the finish can be done right in Silver Berry

The quality of a Level 4 wall finish starts with the boarding behind it. Un-level Silver Berry board, mid-field seams or wide screw spacing all make trouble for the finishers. We board every Silver Berry 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 Silver Berry?

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Silver Berry

The cost of drywall installation in Silver Berry 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 Silver Berry trades. We measure on site and give you a fixed price before we start.

Board spec for Silver Berry homes — right product on every surface

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

Our drywall installation process in Silver Berry, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Silver Berry homes

Every boarding job in Silver Berry starts with the ceiling. The Silver Berry ceiling boards first so the wall board can butt under and support it. In Silver Berry, skipping the sequence leaves joints carrying their own weight — cracks follow. No Silver Berry 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 Silver Berry

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 Silver Berry standard. Clean, square corners — inside and out — on Silver Berry jobs. We hold Silver Berry board to the window and door frames, no overrun. When the boarding is done in an Silver Berry home, every surface is at the right plane and the taping crew can go straight to work.
