Will you construct the required Stony Plain fire and sound assemblies?

Yes — a Stony Plain legal suite lives on its rated ceiling and dampened party walls, and we build both to spec.

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.

Does your Stony Plain work include the fire and sound separation?

Yes — we install the Stony Plain suite’s two core assemblies to spec: fire-rated ceiling, sound-dampened party walls.

Is the full Stony Plain suite — all the drywall — one job for you?

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

What makes suite drywall different from ordinary basement drywall?

Two things: a fire separation between the dwelling units and a sound assembly between them. Both are specified on your approved Stony Plain drawings, and both are inspected before they are covered. Ordinary basement finishing has neither requirement.

What if the inspector fails something?

We ask for the note directly rather than a summary, fix exactly what was cited and re-present. Most failures are specific — an unsealed penetration or an untaped rated joint — and working from the actual wording avoids fixing the wrong thing.

A legal suite in Stony Plain lives or dies on two assemblies: the fire separation between the units and the sound separation between them.

The two assemblies a suite lives on

Fire and sound

A legal suite in Stony Plain depends on a fire separation between the dwelling units and a sound separation between them. They are different requirements built into the same walls and ceilings.

Both are specified

Neither is a matter of preference. Both come off the drawings your permit was issued against, and both are inspected before anything covers them.

Sequencing around your inspections

Inspected before covered

Rated and sound assemblies in Stony Plain are checked before the finish goes on. That sets the order of work, not the other way round.

How we plan it

We board and firestop to suit your inspection date rather than working ahead. If an inspection slips, we would rather pause than cover something the inspector needs to see.

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 Stony Plain 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.

Our Stony Plain legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Stony Plain 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. An Stony Plain suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome.

Ceiling height and what it costs you

Assemblies take space

A rated, sound-dampened Stony Plain basement ceiling with resilient channel and two layers of board takes more height than a simple boarded ceiling.

The trade-off

In a basement where headroom is already tight, every assembly decision costs ceiling height. We tell you what each option takes so the trade is made deliberately rather than discovered when the drywall is up.

Working from the approved drawings

We want to see them first

The board type, the number of layers and the joint treatment are all specified. Quoting a suite without the drawings is quoting a guess.

When site does not match paper

If what is framed does not match what was approved, we say so before boarding. Discovering it at inspection means opening a finished assembly, which is the expensive version of the same conversation.
