Legal suite drywall in McCauley, built to the suite spec

A legal secondary suite has to meet the City of Edmonton spec to pass inspection — fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor, sound-dampened party walls and moisture-resistant board where it is needed. In McCauley we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. McCauley is one of Central's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover McCauley, Boyle Street, Central McDougall, Dovercourt and Central, 7 days a week.

Fire, sound and moisture in a McCauley suite

Fire and sound separation

A McCauley legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. The McCauley drywall carries both.

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For McCauley assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Edmonton and Soundproofing Edmonton.

Our McCauley legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In McCauley the key element is the fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor — we install the required Type X ceiling assembly to spec.

Sound, moisture and finish

We add sound-dampening to the party walls so the suite and main floor are not living in each other's noise, moisture-resistant board in the bathroom and wet areas, then tape and finish everything flat. The result is an McCauley suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home.
