Can you add backing for a TV mount and shelves?

Yes, and tell us before the wall closes. Adding backing while it is open takes minutes; finding it missing afterwards means opening the wall or relying on anchors that eventually pull out. We ask what is going on the walls first.

Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Athlone?

Yes — one crew frames, boards, tapes and finishes, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between trades.

Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Athlone?

Yes — bulkheads and soffits to box in ductwork, plumbing and lighting are part of nearly every basement frame.

What is crowning a stud?

Sighting each stud and setting them all with the bow facing the same way so the wall plane is consistent. Studs set randomly give a wall that waves, and in an Athlone room with a window running along it that shows through the paint.

Leaving room for mechanical and electrical

Framing comes first, services follow

An Athlone frame that leaves nowhere for a duct or a drain forces the mechanical trades to notch and drill in ways that weaken it.

Coordination

We would rather walk the layout with the other trades before framing than have them cut through a stud we set. It is a short conversation that avoids a structural argument later.

Bulkheads, and why they are never straight by accident

Boxing what has to stay

Athlone basements are full of ducts, beams and plumbing that cannot move. Bulkheads box them, and each one adds corners.

Getting them right

A bulkhead framed slightly out of square is obvious once it is boarded, because the eye follows its long lines. They take longer than their size suggests and they are worth the extra care.

Our Athlone framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout before lumber

We chalk the plate lines from the plan or your walk-through direction and confirm every wall location in your Athlone space before anything is cut.

Square, plumb, spaced right

We frame the walls square and plumb with stud spacing matched to the board going over them — the frame stage is where a wavy wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Athlone for the stage that follows.
