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

Area and assembly

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

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 Meadowbrook project passes the first time. A lot of our Meadowbrook work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our Meadowbrook fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Meadowbrook 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 Meadowbrook separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.
