Fire-rated drywall in Olde Towne, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep a home safe. In Olde Towne we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Olde Towne is Okotoks's historic core, where the housing stock is older, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Olde Towne, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Olde Towne?

Area and assembly

The cost in Olde Towne depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Type X board costs more than standard, and the rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Olde Towne

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 Olde Towne project passes the first time. Housing in Olde Towne is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Our Olde Towne fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Olde Towne 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. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant separation that also looks finished. Olde Towne spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Olde Towne

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Olde Towne is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. We install and finish it to code.

Legal suites and party walls

Basement legal suites and multi-unit party walls are frequent here. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. Olde Towne spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common fire-rated situations in Olde Towne

In Olde Towne, olde Towne is a residential neighbourhood in Okotoks. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached.
