Fire-rated drywall in SW Calgary, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where SW Calgary code calls for it — garage separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep the home safe. In SW Calgary we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. SW Calgary is covering high-spend areas like Aspen Woods and Springbank Hill alongside established suburbs like Lakeview and Glamorgan, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover all of SW Calgary, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in SW Calgary?

Area and assembly

The cost in SW Calgary depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Type X costs more than standard board, and the SW Calgary rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in SW Calgary

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 SW Calgary project passes the first time.

Our SW Calgary fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In SW Calgary 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. You get an inspection-ready, code-compliant SW Calgary separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in SW Calgary

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in SW Calgary is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. We install and finish it to code.

Legal suites and party walls

Basement legal suites and multi-unit party walls are frequent SW Calgary jobs. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page.

Common fire-rated situations in SW Calgary

Finished garages and new builds

Fire-rated work here is common when garages are finished and on new builds and additions where the separations are part of the spec.

Suite conversions

When an SW Calgary basement is converted to a legal suite, the fire separation between the suite and the main floor is a code requirement we handle as part of the drywall.
