Fire-rated drywall in Old Town, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall in Old Town, installed to code

Where code requires it in Old Town, 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 Old Town we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Old Town is an older Airdrie community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Old Town and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Old Town?

Area and assembly

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

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 Old Town project passes the first time.

Our Old Town fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Old Town 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 Old Town deliverable: a separation that passes inspection, meets code and looks complete. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Old Town

Garage firewalls

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

Suites and party walls

Old Town sees steady legal-suite and party-wall work. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Common fire-rated situations in Old Town

In Old Town, old Town Airdrie has some of the city's oldest housing stock, so we regularly work on plaster repair, settling cracks that have built up over many years, and drywall retrofits where a renovation replaces old lath-and-plaster walls with modern board. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

How Old Town homes affect the work

Old Town spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the fire-rated drywall rather than after.

In older Old Town houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is opened up.
