Fire-rated drywall in Cornerstone, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall in Cornerstone, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Cornerstone

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 Cornerstone project passes the first time.

Our Cornerstone fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone separation that also looks finished. Ceilings in Cornerstone are typically knockdown, and matching that pattern is the part of a repair people notice.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Cornerstone

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Orange peel is common on Cornerstone walls, and the spray tip and timing matter more than the mud for getting it to disappear.

Common fire-rated situations in Cornerstone

In Cornerstone, cornerstone is a community built out in the 2000s. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

Cornerstone: what shapes the job

Cornerstone spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the fire-rated drywall rather than after.

A lot of the work in Cornerstone starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
