Fire-rated drywall in Scarboro, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall in Scarboro, installed to code

In Scarboro 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 Scarboro we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Scarboro is an older NW 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 Scarboro, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Scarboro

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 Scarboro project passes the first time.

Our Scarboro fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Scarboro 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 Scarboro outcome. In older Scarboro houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Scarboro

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Scarboro 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 Scarboro. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. In older Scarboro houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is cut.

Common fire-rated situations in Scarboro

In Scarboro, scarboro homes have often been renovated more than once over the decades, so we see everything from original lath-and-plaster to a later drywall retrofit in the same house — we assess which is which before we touch anything, then repair or patch to match whichever surface is actually there. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
