Fire-rated drywall in Wedderburn, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where the code calls for it — garage-to-house separations, basement suites and party walls all need Type X board in a rated assembly to pass inspection and keep a home safe. In Wedderburn we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Wedderburn is one of Okotoks's newest master-planned communities on the north side, where most homes are current-build, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Wedderburn, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Wedderburn

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 Wedderburn project passes the first time.

Our Wedderburn fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Wedderburn 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 separation that also looks finished. Wedderburn spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Wedderburn

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Wedderburn 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 here. We build the rated separations these require. See our legal suite drywall page. In Wedderburn we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Common fire-rated situations in Wedderburn

In Wedderburn, wedderburn is a residential neighbourhood in Okotoks. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.
