Fire-rated drywall in New Brighton, installed to code

In New Brighton 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 New Brighton we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. New Brighton is an established SE Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover New Brighton, Mahogany, Auburn Bay, Cranston and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in New Brighton?

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in New Brighton

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

Our New Brighton fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In New Brighton 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 New Brighton outcome.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in New Brighton

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in New Brighton 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 New Brighton. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Because New Brighton is largely new construction, the board is still settling and hairline cracking at corners is the normal first-year complaint.

Common fire-rated situations in New Brighton

In New Brighton, new Brighton is a community built out in the 2010s. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

What to expect from fire-rated drywall in New Brighton

New construction in New Brighton means the board is usually sound and square, so fire-rated drywall here is about finishing to a standard the builder did not, rather than undoing someone else's repair.

In New Brighton we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.

Basements in New Brighton run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
