Fire-rated drywall in Somerset, installed to code

In Somerset 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 Somerset we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Somerset is an established SW Calgary community where basement development and reno drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Somerset, Aspen Woods, West Springs, Cougar Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Somerset

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

Our Somerset fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Somerset 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 Somerset outcome. In Somerset we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Somerset

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Somerset 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 Somerset. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in Somerset

In Somerset, in Somerset the typical work is taking down dated textured ceilings, repairing settling cracks and nail pops, and closing up walls neatly after Poly-B repipes, all texture-matched so the finish looks untouched. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.
