Vapour barrier installation in Walden, Calgary — 6 mil poly sealed over insulation before drywall, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration.
A vapour barrier is one of the few things in a build that is completely hidden and completely unforgiving — once the drywall is on, a torn sheet or an unsealed outlet box stays that way for the life of the wall. In Walden we install and seal 6 mil poly over the insulation on the warm side, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration, before any board goes up. Walden is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so insulation calls here are usually limited to basement development, since the main floors are already insulated to current code. We cover Walden, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Walden, which means the repair is judged on texture match as much as on whether the surface is flat.
