Our Secord fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

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