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 Downtown 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.

Downtown drywall in context

About Downtown

Edmonton's downtown is the hub of commercial, arts and festival activities.

What we see in Downtown

In Downtown the drywall work is infill new-build settling beside original-stock plaster/popcorn work. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

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

Area and assembly

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

Passing inspection in Downtown

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 Downtown project passes the first time.
