Fire-rated drywall in Wildwood, installed to code

Fire-rated drywall is not optional where Wildwood 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 Wildwood we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Wildwood is an established NW Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Wildwood, Brentwood, Charleswood, Collingwood and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

Fire-Rated Drywall Wildwood

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Wildwood

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 Wildwood project passes the first time.

Our Wildwood fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Wildwood 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 Wildwood separation that also looks finished.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Wildwood

Garage firewalls

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

Common fire-rated situations in Wildwood

A lot of our Wildwood 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.
