Fire-rated drywall in Kelvin Grove, installed to code

No shortcuts on Kelvin Grove fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Kelvin Grove we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Kelvin Grove is one of NW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Kelvin Grove, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Kelvin Grove?

Area and assembly

The cost in Kelvin Grove depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. The Kelvin Grove rating drives the build-up, and Type X board carries a premium over standard. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Kelvin Grove

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 Kelvin Grove project passes the first time. Where Kelvin Grove still has stipple, we check how many coats are on it before deciding to match or remove.

Our Kelvin Grove fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Kelvin Grove 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. A Kelvin Grove separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too. Where Kelvin Grove still has stipple, we check how many coats are on it before deciding to match or remove.

Common fire-rated situations in Kelvin Grove

In Kelvin Grove, kelvin Grove's original stipple has usually been painted over more than once by now, which changes how it catches light — we account for that when matching texture, not just the pattern itself but how decades of paint have softened it. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.
