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

Area and assembly

The cost in Blackburne depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. In Blackburne, the required rating sets the assembly build-up — and Type X runs above standard board on cost. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Blackburne

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 Blackburne project passes the first time.

Our Blackburne fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Blackburne 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. An Blackburne separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.
