Fire-rated drywall in Whitehorn, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Whitehorn 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 Whitehorn we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Whitehorn is an established NE Calgary community of older homes where repair and stipple-ceiling work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Whitehorn, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Whitehorn 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 Whitehorn rating dictates the build-up. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Whitehorn

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 Whitehorn project passes the first time. In Whitehorn we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Our Whitehorn fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Whitehorn 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 Whitehorn separation that also looks finished. In Whitehorn we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Whitehorn

Garage firewalls

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

Common fire-rated situations in Whitehorn

In Whitehorn, a lot of our repeat work in Whitehorn comes from owners who had a patch done elsewhere that never quite matched — we re-texture it properly, blending into the original surface rather than leaving a second visible seam. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.
