Do you coordinate Hollick-Kenyon framing with electricians and plumbers?

Yes — trades rough in cleanly because the Hollick-Kenyon framing is sequenced for them, ahead of insulation and drywall.

Do you stand behind your framing work in Hollick-Kenyon?

Yes. We check every Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont layout is square before we hand it off, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Can I hang a TV on a steel-framed wall?

Only with backing built in. You cannot trust a heavy fixing into a steel stud web. Tell us before the wall closes and we add backing plates or blocking — there is no fallback of hitting a stud like there is in wood.

Metal Stud Framing Hollick-Kenyon Edmonton | Steel Studs

Steel stud partitions in Hollick-Kenyon for basements and shops

The frame decides the finish: crooked studs, crooked Hollick-Kenyon walls. In Hollick-Kenyon we build steel-stud partition walls, bulkheads and basement layouts — squared, plumbed and spaced to the drywall spec you need. Hollick-Kenyon is an Northeast community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so framing calls range from straightforward basement layouts in the newer homes to repair and alteration work in the older ones nearby.

Running services through steel

Knockouts and grommets

Steel studs come with knockouts for wiring, and cables must be protected where they pass through — a bare cable against a cut steel edge is a hazard.

Coordination

Grommets or bushings go in as the wiring is run. We would rather walk the route with the electrician than have cables pulled through unprotected openings and discovered at inspection.

Hollick-Kenyon drywall in context

About Hollick-Kenyon

The neighbourhood was named after Herbert "Bertie" Hollick-Kenyon, who piloted flights over the Antarctic as part of the first mapping of that territory.

What we see in Hollick-Kenyon

In Hollick-Kenyon the drywall work is first-year settling, basement dev for first owners, Level 5 over builder-grade. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Boarding onto steel

Different screws, different technique

Steel takes fine-thread screws rather than coarse, and over-driving strips the stud rather than dimpling neatly.

Why crew matters

A crew used to wood will strip fasteners in steel until they adjust. When the same crew frames and boards an Hollick-Kenyon wall, that adjustment has already happened before the first sheet goes up.

Our Hollick-Kenyon metal stud framing process in Edmonton, step by step

Layout first

We lay out track lines on the floor and ceiling from the plan or your walk-through direction, confirming every wall location before a single stud goes up in your Hollick-Kenyon space.

Frame square and plumb

We install track, cut and set the studs to spacing, and check every wall for square and plumb as we go — the framing stage is where a crooked wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Hollick-Kenyon once the frame is up.

Fire performance and rated assemblies

Non-combustible

Steel does not burn, which is why it appears in many rated assemblies. That does not make a steel wall rated on its own.

The assembly is what counts

A rated Hollick-Kenyon wall is a specified system — stud type and spacing, board type and layers, joint treatment. We build to the assembly on the drawings rather than assuming steel gives a rating by itself.

Where wood is still the right answer

Fastening and load

Wood takes a screw anywhere along its length, which makes backing, cabinets, handrails and heavy fixings far simpler.

The practical mix

Many Hollick-Kenyon jobs are best framed in steel for the long straight runs and wood where cabinets, vanities or grab bars are going. We would rather explain the mix than sell one material for the whole job.
