Fire-rated drywall in Shaganappi, installed to code

No shortcuts on Shaganappi fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Shaganappi we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Shaganappi is one of NW 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 Shaganappi, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

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 Shaganappi project passes the first time.

Our Shaganappi fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Shaganappi 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 Shaganappi separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too. Some Shaganappi homes are plaster rather than drywall behind the paint, which changes the repair entirely.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Shaganappi

Common fire-rated situations in Shaganappi

In Shaganappi, a lot of our Shaganappi calls come from owners partway through a renovation who have opened up a wall and found old plaster, horsehair lath, or a mix of both — we can patch back into it or remove and replace with modern board, whichever suits the rest of the room. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

What to expect from fire-rated drywall in Shaganappi

Shaganappi 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 Shaganappi houses it is worth knowing whether there is lath behind the wall before anything is opened up.
