Do you stand behind your garage drywall in University of Alberta?

Yes. In University of Alberta the firewall is built to code and the finish left clean — with a comeback promise if anything is not right.

Does my University of Alberta garage need fire-rated drywall?

The house-adjoining University of Alberta wall and ceiling do — code mandates Type X fire-rated board there. We install it correctly so your University of Alberta garage passes inspection.

Can you finish a heated garage?

Yes — University of Alberta garages leave us paint-ready — boarded, taped, finished — with the required fire separation in place.

Will drywall crack in an unheated University of Alberta garage?

It can, because the space cycles across freezing repeatedly and the materials move at different rates. Thin coats with proper drying time between them, and detailing that lets movement happen at the joint, is what keeps it sound.

Board-only with me painting — possible in University of Alberta?

Yes — we can board your University of Alberta garage (with the required fire-rated separation) and leave the finishing and paint to you, or finish it fully.

Can you board my University of Alberta garage only and let me paint?

Garage boarding and fire separations in University of Alberta

What affects the cost of garage drywall in University of Alberta in Edmonton?

Size, finish and fire rating

The cost in University of Alberta depends on the garage size, the finish level, and the fire-rated separation on the house-side wall and ceiling. The gap between boarded and fully finished shows in every University of Alberta garage. We price off the garage and a site look.

The firewall in University of Alberta

Finished garages are common, and the house-side separation must be Type X to code. We install it correctly so your University of Alberta garage passes inspection.

Sealing the garage from the house

Air as well as fire

The same separation is what keeps exhaust fumes and stored-chemical vapour out of the University of Alberta house.

Where it leaks

Around the man door, at the ceiling-to-wall junction, at pipe and wire penetrations, and above a dropped soffit. Sealing those is cheap while the wall is open and awkward afterwards, so it happens before boarding.

The fire separation between garage and house

When it applies

Where a University of Alberta garage is attached, or living space sits above it, a rated separation is normally required between the two. That usually means Type X board on the shared wall and on the ceiling under living space, taped as part of the assembly.

The common gap

The most frequent thing we find in existing garages is board installed and joints left open. The board is there, so it looks finished — but an untaped rated assembly is not complete. Often the honest fix is finishing the joints rather than replacing the ceiling.

Why a University of Alberta garage is harder on drywall than a house

The temperature cycle

An unheated University of Alberta garage can swing tens of degrees in a day and cross freezing repeatedly through the winter. Board, framing and joint compound all move at different rates through that cycle, and the joints are where the difference shows.

What we do about it

Joints are taped and coated in thin passes and given time between coats rather than rushed, and the assembly is detailed so movement is taken at the joint instead of cracking the face. It is the same principle as any interior job, applied to a much harder environment.

Shelving, lifts and anchoring into the wall

Plan it before boarding

Cabinets, overhead racks and heavy shelving all need something solid behind the board.

The cheap step

Blocking installed while the University of Alberta garage framing is open, and a photograph of where it is. Adding a heavy rack later to a boarded wall means guessing at studs or opening the wall, and on a rated wall that is a bigger problem than on a plain one.
