Fire-rated drywall in Air Ranch, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls in an Air Ranch home all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In Air Ranch we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Air Ranch is Okotoks’s distinctive fly-in community — executive estate homes on larger Air Ranch lots along the taxiways — and the bigger custom floor plans here bring steady demand for premium finishing plus garage and hangar-adjacent drywall work in Air Ranch. We cover Air Ranch and all of Okotoks, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Air Ranch?

Area and assembly in Air Ranch

The cost in Air Ranch depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer Air Ranch garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Type X board costs more than standard, and the rating dictates the build-up in an Air Ranch home. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Air Ranch

The common rated jobs in Air Ranch 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 in Air Ranch so your project passes the first time.

Our Air Ranch fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up in Air Ranch

In Air Ranch 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 in an Air Ranch home.

Seal and finish in Air Ranch

Penetrations and edges are where a rated assembly fails, so we firestop and seal them in Air Ranch, then tape and finish the board clean. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant Air Ranch separation that also looks finished.
