Fire-rated drywall in Braeside, installed to code

No shortcuts on Braeside fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Braeside we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Braeside is one of SE 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 Braeside, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

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 Braeside project passes the first time. In Braeside basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

Our Braeside fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Braeside 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 Braeside separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too. Basement development is common in Braeside, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Braeside

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Braeside is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Code-compliant install and finish.

Legal suites and shared walls

Frequent work in Braeside homes and multi-unit buildings. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. A lot of our Braeside work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common fire-rated situations in Braeside

In Braeside, in Braeside we often find a mix of original drywall and a later basement development or addition, so a single job can mean matching two different eras of texture in the same house — we treat each surface on its own terms rather than one blanket approach. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
