Fire-rated drywall in Cornerstone, installed to code

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 board costs more than standard, and the rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Cornerstone

Because Cornerstone is an Okotoks residential community, 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 separation that also looks finished.

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

Because Cornerstone is an Okotoks residential community, 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 Cornerstone

In Cornerstone we handle a lot of basement development, settling-crack and nail-pop repair, and Level 5 upgrades over builder-grade walls — the typical profile of a community past its first years but not yet into major renovation age. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
