Fire-rated drywall in Airdrie, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep a home safe. In Airdrie we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Airdrie is where homes range from established to fast-growing new communities, so both settling-crack repair and fresh-build finishing come up, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Airdrie

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 Airdrie project passes the first time.

Our Airdrie fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Airdrie 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. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Airdrie

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Airdrie is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. We install and finish it to code.

Legal suites and party walls

Basement legal suites and multi-unit party walls are frequent here. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in Airdrie

Finished garages and new builds

Fire-rated work here is common when garages are finished and on new builds and additions where the separations are part of the spec.

Suite conversions

When an Airdrie basement is converted to a legal suite, the fire separation between the suite and the main floor is a code requirement we handle as part of the drywall.
