Fire-rated drywall in Cityscape, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Cityscape code calls for it — garage separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In Cityscape we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Cityscape is one of NE 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 Cityscape, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Cityscape

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

Our Cityscape fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Cityscape 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 Cityscape separation that also looks finished. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cityscape, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Cityscape

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Cityscape 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 Cityscape jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Most of Cityscape went up recently enough that we are usually working against a builder's original finish rather than someone else's repair.

Common fire-rated situations in Cityscape

In Cityscape, cityscape is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

Why Cityscape homeowners trust Emplastrum for fire-rated drywall

To code, and finished clean

A rated assembly has to be right for safety and inspection, and finished well for the room — in Cityscape we do both, installing to code and finishing flat.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We install fire-rated drywall across Cityscape and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. Free on-site Cityscape quotes and fixed prices — the number comes first, the site stays clean, and the work is guaranteed. If anything is off on a Cityscape assembly, we return and put it right. Ceilings in Cityscape are typically knockdown, and matching that pattern is the part of a repair people notice.

What to expect from fire-rated drywall in Cityscape

In a newly built Cityscape home the drywall has not yet been through a full winter, so we plan the fire-rated drywall around settling that is still happening rather than settling that has finished.

Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Cityscape, which means the repair is judged on texture match as much as on whether the surface is flat.

In Cityscape we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.
