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

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

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

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

Drywall installation work we do in Steinhauer

Full basement boarding in Steinhauer homes

The most common boarding call in Steinhauer 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 Steinhauer basement, the taping crew can start without rework.

Legal suite partition boarding in Steinhauer

Secondary suite additions in Steinhauer 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.
