Drywall board types used in Summerlea homes

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

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

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

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

Why Summerlea homeowners trust Emplastrum for drywall installation

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

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

Square footage, board type and ceiling complexity in Summerlea

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

Board spec for Summerlea homes — right product on every surface

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

Our drywall installation process in Summerlea, step by step

Ceiling board first — always — in Summerlea homes

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

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