Fire-rated drywall in Discovery Ridge, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Discovery Ridge 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 Discovery Ridge we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Discovery Ridge is a newer SW Calgary community where finishing and basement-development drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Discovery Ridge, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Discovery Ridge?

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Discovery Ridge

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

Our Discovery Ridge fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Discovery Ridge 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 Discovery Ridge separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Discovery Ridge

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Discovery Ridge 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 Discovery Ridge jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Basement development is common in Discovery Ridge, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Discovery Ridge: what shapes the job

Housing in Discovery Ridge is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different fire-rated drywall work.

Basements in Discovery Ridge run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
