Can you handle the whole Edgemont suite drywall as one job?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Edgemont home, coordinated with your other trades.

Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in Edgemont?

Yes. We build to the suite spec and walk the finished Edgemont suite with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can the entire Edgemont suite drywall run as a single contract?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Edgemont home, coordinated with your other trades.

Do you work from my permit drawings?

Yes, and we would rather see them before quoting. The assemblies are a specification, not a preference, and the drawings decide the board, the layers and the joint treatment. If what is specified does not match what is on site, we tell you before boarding.

Is the ceiling or the wall the bigger job in a suite?

Usually the ceiling, because it carries both the fire separation and most of the sound transmission between units. It is also where the mechanical runs and penetrations are, so it needs the most coordination with the other trades.

How much sound separation will a suite actually get?

Enough that normal speech between the units is not intelligible, when the assembly on the drawings is built properly and the perimeters are sealed. It will not be silent, and footstep noise is the hardest part. We would rather set that expectation now.

Legal suite drywall in Edgemont, built to the suite spec

A legal suite in Edgemont lives or dies on two assemblies: the fire separation between the units and the sound separation between them. Both are specified on the drawings your permit was issued against, and both are inspected before anything covers them. We build to those drawings and sequence around the inspection rather than working ahead.

Mechanical rooms and shared services

A shared furnace complicates things

Where an Edgemont suite shares mechanical with the main house, the mechanical room itself usually needs enclosure and the ductwork needs treatment.

Why we raise it early

It affects both the fire separation and how much sound travels between units. It is also a question for your mechanical contractor as much as for us, and it is cheaper answered at planning than at inspection.

Why the ceiling is the biggest part of the job

Where everything meets

The ceiling between an Edgemont suite and the unit above carries the fire separation, most of the sound transmission and all the mechanical that runs between floors.

Coordination

Ducting, plumbing and wiring all penetrate it, and each penetration has to be dealt with before the assembly closes. It is the part of a suite build that needs the most sequencing with other trades and the part most often rushed.

Bathrooms and kitchens in the suite

Wet rooms need the right board

A suite bathroom and kitchen need moisture-resistant board and proper detailing behind tile and around the tub or shower.

Ventilation

We also check the fan actually vents outside. In Edgemont conversions it is not unusual to find one ducted into the attic or a joist space, and in a suite that runs every day it becomes a mould problem quickly.

Why Edgemont homeowners trust Emplastrum for legal suite drywall in Edmonton

Suite spec, done right and finished clean

A suite has to pass inspection and feel like a home, and in Edgemont we build the rated assemblies to the City of Edmonton spec and finish the suite flat and clean.

Fixed price, on schedule

We do legal suite drywall across Edgemont and West Henday, 7 days a week. Fixed pricing on free Edgemont quotes, coordinated trades, site kept clean and a stand-behind guarantee. When an Edgemont job is not right, we make it right — on us.

Penetrations: the part that fails inspections

Every hole is a path

Electrical boxes, plumbing, ducting and pot lights all pierce a rated Edgemont assembly. Unsealed, each one is a route for fire and smoke and a leak for sound.

Sequencing with trades

Firestopping happens before the finish. We coordinate so penetrations are made and sealed before we tape, rather than cutting into a finished rated ceiling later and leaving it open behind the paint.

Sound between units, honestly

What you should expect

A properly built assembly makes normal speech between an Edgemont suite and the unit above unintelligible, and takes the edge off television.

What it will not do

It will not make it silent, and footstep noise from above is the hardest and most expensive to control. Tenants complain about footsteps more than voices, so this is worth spending on and worth being realistic about.
