Fire-rated drywall in D’Arcy, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls in a D’Arcy home all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In D’Arcy we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. D’Arcy Ranch is a master-planned community in north Okotoks that has grown fast over the last decade, so most of what we see in D’Arcy is fresh-build boarding, taping and first-time basement development as new D’Arcy homes complete. We cover D’Arcy and all of Okotoks, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in D’Arcy?

Area and assembly in D’Arcy

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

Passing inspection in D’Arcy

The common rated jobs in D’Arcy 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 in D’Arcy so your project passes the first time. Most of D’Arcy went up recently enough that we are usually working against a builder's original finish rather than someone else's repair.

Our D’Arcy fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up in D’Arcy

In D’Arcy 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 in a D’Arcy home.

Seal and finish in D’Arcy

Penetrations and edges are where a rated assembly fails, so we firestop and seal them in D’Arcy, then tape and finish the board clean. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant D’Arcy separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in D’Arcy

Garage firewalls in D’Arcy

The most common fire-rated job in D’Arcy is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. We install and finish it to code in D’Arcy.

Legal suites and party walls in D’Arcy

Basement legal suites and multi-unit party walls are frequent in D’Arcy. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page for more on D’Arcy suite conversions. Because D’Arcy is largely new construction, the board is still settling and hairline cracking at corners is the normal first-year complaint.

How D’Arcy homes affect the work

D’Arcy is recent enough that we are normally working with original, untouched surfaces — which makes matching straightforward and keeps the fire-rated drywall quicker than it would be in an older area.

Builder deficiency work is common in D’Arcy — nail pops, corner cracks and seams that only appeared after possession.

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