Drywall, also known as gypsum board or plasterboard, is a building material made of a gypsum core sandwiched between two layers of paper. It is the standard wall and ceiling surface in commercial construction because it is affordable, quick to install, fire-resistant, and provides excellent acoustic control. Commercial-grade drywall (such as Type X) meets strict BC Building Code requirements for fire resistance and soundproofing in offices, retail, and multi-family buildings. Learn more about our commercial drywall services.

A Level 4 drywall finish involves taping, two coats of joint compound over flat joints, and sanding for a smooth surface ready for most paints and light textures. A Level 5 finish adds a full skim coat over the entire wall, creating a gallery-grade surface that eliminates joint banding and shadowing under raking or critical light. Level 5 is recommended for high-end commercial interiors, lobbies, and premium tenant improvements. See our drywall installation and finishing page for details.

Steel stud framing uses galvanized steel studs and tracks to build the structural framework of interior walls, partitions, bulkheads, and ceilings in commercial buildings. Unlike wood framing, steel is non-combustible, pest-resistant, and does not warp, shrink, or rot. Paragon Drywall installs light and heavy-gauge steel stud framing with engineered layouts and tight tolerances, ready for drywall boarding, electrical, and mechanical rough-in.

T-bar ceiling installation, also called suspended ceiling installation, uses a metal grid system hung from the structural ceiling to support acoustic tiles or panels. T-bar ceilings improve acoustics, allow easy access to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems above, and provide a clean professional look for offices, retail, and restaurants. Paragon Drywall provides T-bar ceiling installation for commercial and institutional projects across Vancouver and BC.

Taping and mudding are critical stages in the drywall finishing process. Taping involves applying joint tape over seams between drywall panels to create a seamless surface and prevent cracks. Mudding applies joint compound over the tape, screws, and corner beads to fill gaps and smooth imperfections. Multiple coats are applied and sanded to achieve a flawless finish ready for painting, texturing, or wallcovering. Visit our taping, mudding, and finishing page to learn more.

A fire-rated drywall assembly is a wall or ceiling system tested and certified to resist fire for a specific duration (typically 1 or 2 hours). It typically includes fire-rated Type X gypsum board, steel stud framing, and insulation installed according to tested designs. Paragon Drywall installs fire-rated and STC-rated assemblies in compliance with BC Building Code for demising walls, multi-family separations, and institutional buildings.

Drywall texture matching is the process of replicating an existing wall or ceiling texture so that repairs and new work blend invisibly into the original surface. Paragon Drywall provides precise texture matching for knockdown, orange peel, stipple, popcorn, and custom hand-applied finishes. This service is essential for commercial renovations, additions, and patching in occupied buildings.
