Our Mactaggart garage drywall process, step by step

Fire-rated separation first

In Mactaggart we board the house-side wall and ceiling with Type X fire-rated board, because that separation is a code requirement, not a finish option.

Board, tape and finish

We board the rest of the garage, tape and finish to the level you want — a clean paint-ready finish for a heated or finished garage, or boarded only if you are painting it yourself. Sealed right, the Mactaggart rated separation clears inspection.
