Fire-rated drywall in Westwood, installed to code

No shortcuts on Westwood fire-rating — separations, suites and party walls need code Type X rated assemblies to clear inspection and keep people safe. In Westwood we install fire-rated drywall to code and finish it clean. Westwood is one of North Central's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so fire-rated work here is common on garages and suites. We cover Westwood, Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights and North Central, 7 days a week.

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

Area and assembly

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

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 Westwood project passes the first time.

About Westwood

Our Westwood fire-rated drywall process, step by step

Right board, right build-up

In Westwood 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 Westwood separation the inspector approves and the eye approves too.
