Fire-rated drywall in Ridgegate, installed to code

Where code requires it in Ridgegate, 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 Ridgegate we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Ridgegate is an established Airdrie community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Ridgegate and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

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 Ridgegate project passes the first time. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Ridgegate, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.

Our Ridgegate fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Ridgegate 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 Ridgegate deliverable: a separation that passes inspection, meets code and looks complete.
