Fire-rated drywall in Acadia, installed to code

No shortcuts on Acadia fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Acadia we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Acadia is an established south Calgary community of 1960s-70s homes where ceiling stipple, settling cracks and dated texture are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Acadia, Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Acadia?

Area and assembly

The cost in Acadia depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. The Acadia rating drives the build-up, and Type X board carries a premium over standard. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Acadia

The common rated jobs here are garages and suites. The rating only holds if the assembly is built and sealed exactly to spec, so we install it to code and seal penetrations properly so your Acadia project passes the first time. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Acadia, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.

Our Acadia fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Acadia we confirm the required rating, then install the correct Type X board in the right layers — the assembly, not just the board, is what carries the rating.

Seal and finish

Penetrations and edges are where a rated assembly fails, so we firestop and seal them, then tape and finish the board clean. An Acadia separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Acadia, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.
