Steel studs or wood in a basement?

Often a mix — steel for long partition runs where straightness matters, wood where cabinets and heavy fixings are going. Steel will not warp or rot; wood takes fasteners anywhere. We will say which we would use where.

Load-bearing walls and where we stop

Not our decision to make

Removing or altering a wall that carries load is a structural question, and we do not take a homeowner's assurance that a wall is non-bearing.

What we need

Drawings or an engineer's assessment. If a wall in an Ogilvie Ridge renovation turns out to be bearing, the job becomes beams and posts — a different scope, and one far better priced before demolition than discovered during it.

Why Ogilvie Ridge homeowners trust Emplastrum for framing in Edmonton

Framed by the people who finish it

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Aspen Gardens, Bearspaw, Blue Quill and Whitemud, 7 days a week. Free on-site quotes and fixed prices, and we stand behind the work.

Layout for the sheet, not just for the room

Where the joints will land

Framing at the right spacing and adding backing where a sheet edge will fall means the board has something to fasten to at every joint.

Butt joints

An unsupported butt joint in an Ogilvie Ridge wall is the hardest thing in drywall to hide. Thinking about sheet layout at framing stage removes them, and it costs nothing but attention.

Leaving room for mechanical and electrical

Framing comes first, services follow

An Ogilvie Ridge 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.

Crowning studs and checking for bow

Every stud has a curve

Lumber is rarely straight. Crowning means sighting each stud and setting them all with the bow facing the same way so the wall plane is consistent.

What happens without it

Studs set randomly give a wall that waves in and out, and in an Ogilvie Ridge room with a window running along it, that shows through the finished paint no matter how good the taping.
