Our Alberta Avenue fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Alberta Avenue 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 Alberta Avenue outcome.

Common fire-rated situations in Alberta Avenue

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 a Alberta Avenue 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.

What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Alberta Avenue?

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Alberta Avenue

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 Alberta Avenue project passes the first time.
