Fire-rated drywall in Osprey Hill, installed to code

No shortcuts on Osprey Hill fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Osprey Hill we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Osprey Hill is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Osprey Hill, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Fire-Rated Drywall Osprey Hill

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Osprey Hill?

Area and assembly

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

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 Osprey Hill project passes the first time.

Our Osprey Hill fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Osprey Hill 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 Osprey Hill separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Osprey Hill
