Fire-Rated Drywall Callingwood South Edmonton: your questions answered

What if someone cuts into it later?

That is the risk — a fan, a light or a duct added later can quietly undo the assembly. We photograph the rated work before covering it so there is a record of what is behind the finish for whoever works on the house next.

Can I put an access hatch in my rated garage ceiling?

Only with a rated detail. Any hatch interrupts the assembly. It is a common find in Callingwood South garages where storage access was cut in afterwards and never addressed.

Can pot lights go in a rated ceiling?

Only with fixtures and firestopping suited to that assembly. A standard fixture cut into a rated Callingwood South ceiling breaks the separation. We coordinate the locations with your electrician so the penetrations are handled before we tape.

Do you install fire-rated drywall in Callingwood South?

Yes — fire-rated drywall in Callingwood South is part of our regular work, and we are usually booked within the week. We also cover Aldergrove, Belmead, Callingwood North and West Edmonton.

Do you handle the firestopping as well as the board?

We firestop the penetrations that fall within our scope and coordinate the sequence with the other trades so nothing is covered before it is sealed. Where a penetration belongs to another trade, we flag it rather than tape over it.

Can I use 1/2 inch board if that is what is on site?

Not in a rated assembly. Type X is 5/8 inch because the core needs that mass and reinforcement to hold together under heat. It looks identical once finished and it is not the tested assembly — we check board against the specification.
