Fire-rated drywall in Gateway, installed to code

In Gateway 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 Gateway we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Gateway is an Airdrie community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Gateway and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Gateway 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 Gateway assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Gateway

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 Gateway project passes the first time.

Our Gateway fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Gateway 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 Gateway outcome. In Gateway we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Gateway

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Gateway 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 Gateway. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Gateway spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common fire-rated situations in Gateway

Gateway is a mixed-use Airdrie area where we handle both residential drywall repair in the surrounding homes and boarding/taping for renovation and build-out projects nearby, including fire-rated and acoustic board where multi-unit code requires it. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
