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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Athlone

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 Athlone project passes the first time.
