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 The Hamptons drawings, and both are inspected before they are covered. Ordinary basement finishing has neither requirement.

Will the assemblies cost me ceiling height?

Yes. A rated, sound-dampened ceiling with resilient channel and two layers takes more height than a simple boarded one. In a tight The Hamptons basement we tell you what each option costs so the trade is deliberate.

Can you sequence around the inspections?

That is how it has to be done. Rated and sound assemblies in The Hamptons are inspected before finish covers them, so we board and firestop to suit your inspection date rather than closing something the inspector needs to see.

Do you do legal suite drywall in The Hamptons?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in The Hamptons is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and West Henday.

Does the drywall help the suite pass inspection in The Hamptons?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling separation, sound-dampened walls and moisture-resistant board are all code requirements for an The Hamptons legal suite, and we build them to the City of Edmonton spec.

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 The Hamptons, built to the approved drawings

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 The Hamptons we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. The Hamptons is an established south Edmonton community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover The Hamptons, Breckenridge Greens, Edgemont, Glastonbury and West Henday, 7 days a week.

Moisture, and basements specifically

Before the board

A The Hamptons basement suite needs its moisture situation resolved first — drainage, any seepage, and the insulation and vapour control on the foundation walls.

Why it matters more in a suite

A tenant lives there full time, and a basement moisture problem behind a finished wall becomes a habitability complaint rather than an inconvenience. We will not board over an unresolved one.

Fire, sound and moisture in an The Hamptons suite

Fire and sound separation

An The Hamptons legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. Both assemblies are built into the The Hamptons drywall.

Finish and wet zones

Bathrooms get moisture-resistant board; everything finishes flat and paint-ready. The Hamptons readers can dig into Fire-Rated Drywall Edmonton and Soundproofing Edmonton for the assemblies.

Mechanical rooms and shared services

A shared furnace complicates things

Where an The Hamptons 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.

The suite entry and the stair enclosure

Often the weak point

The door and stair connecting an The Hamptons suite to the rest of the house is frequently where both the fire separation and the sound separation are least complete.

Detailing it

The enclosure has to carry the rating through, and the door is specified. It is also the single biggest sound leak in most suites, because a door is a door.
