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.

When an Parkdale 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.

Our Parkdale fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Parkdale 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. The Parkdale deliverable: a separation that passes inspection, meets code and looks complete.

Fire-rated garages, suites and party walls in Parkdale

Garage firewalls

The most common fire-rated job in Parkdale is the garage-to-house separation — Type X board on the common wall and ceiling. Code-compliant install and finish.

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

Area and assembly

The cost in Parkdale depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. In Parkdale, 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 Parkdale

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 Parkdale project passes the first time.
