Fire-rated drywall in Marlborough, installed to code

No shortcuts on Marlborough fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Marlborough we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Marlborough is an established NE Calgary community of older homes where repair and texture work are typical, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Marlborough, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Marlborough depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. The Marlborough 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 Marlborough

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 Marlborough project passes the first time.

Our Marlborough fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Marlborough 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 Marlborough separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too. In Marlborough we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Marlborough

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Marlborough is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Code-compliant install and finish.

Legal suites and shared walls

Frequent work in Marlborough homes and multi-unit buildings. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Housing in Marlborough is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Common fire-rated situations in Marlborough

In Marlborough, marlborough's original ceilings were usually finished by hand, so no two rooms match exactly — we texture-match room by room rather than assuming one pattern covers the whole house. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.
