Fire-rated drywall in Ambleridge, installed to code

No shortcuts on Ambleridge fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Ambleridge we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Ambleridge is one of NW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Ambleridge, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Fire-Rated Drywall Ambleridge

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Ambleridge depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. The Ambleridge 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 Ambleridge

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 Ambleridge project passes the first time.

Our Ambleridge fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Ambleridge 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. A Ambleridge separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.

Common fire-rated situations in Ambleridge

Ambleridge is a new northwest Calgary community (homes from 2022), built on knockdown-ceiling, orange-peel new construction. The drywall work here is new-build boarding, taping and finishing, basement development as homes complete, and builder-deficiency patch and texture-match on spec homes. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
