Fire-rated drywall in Mahogany, installed to code

Where code requires it in Mahogany, fire-rated board is mandatory: garage-to-house separations, suites and party walls take Type X in a rated assembly — for inspection and for safety. In Mahogany we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Mahogany is one of SE 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 Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston, Seton and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Mahogany depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. In Mahogany, the required rating sets the assembly build-up — and Type X runs above standard board on cost. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Mahogany

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 Mahogany project passes the first time. Much of Mahogany carries an orange-peel finish, which is easy to apply and unforgiving to match badly.

Our Mahogany fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Mahogany 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. The Mahogany deliverable: a separation that passes inspection, meets code and looks complete. Basement development is common in Mahogany, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Mahogany

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Mahogany is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Installed and finished to code.

Suites and party walls

Mahogany sees steady legal-suite and party-wall work. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Knockdown is the standard ceiling texture through Mahogany, so a patch gets tested for match before the whole ceiling is sprayed.

Common fire-rated situations in Mahogany

In Mahogany, mahogany is a community built out in the 2000s. Homes of that vintage generally have knockdown ceilings and orange-peel walls, and the common calls are settling cracks, nail pops and basement development. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

Mahogany: what shapes the job

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

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

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
