Fire-rated drywall in Diamond Cove, installed to code

In Diamond Cove the code decides: garage separations, basement suites and party walls must carry Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and protect the home. In Diamond Cove we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Diamond Cove is a newer NW Calgary community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Diamond Cove, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Diamond Cove?

Area and assembly

The cost in Diamond Cove depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Expect Type X to price above regular board; the Diamond Cove assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Diamond Cove

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 Diamond Cove project passes the first time. Basement development is common in Diamond Cove, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our Diamond Cove fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Diamond Cove 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. Code-compliant, inspection-ready and visually finished — the Diamond Cove outcome. A lot of our Diamond Cove work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Diamond Cove

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Diamond Cove is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. To-code install and finish.

Party walls and legal suites

Both are regular calls across Diamond Cove. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. A lot of our Diamond Cove work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common fire-rated situations in Diamond Cove

In Diamond Cove, we do a steady stream of basement finishing in Diamond Cove, since the community’s 1980s and 1990s homes are old enough that many original owners — or the next generation of buyers — are only now developing the lower level. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
