Fire-Rated Drywall Services
Type X & Type C Fire-Resistant Board Installation
Standard interior plasterboard lacks the core density to withstand direct flame exposure for prolonged periods. We install premium Type X and Type C fire-rated drywall boards, which are manufactured with a specialized gypsum core embedded with non-combustible glass fibers. These heavy-duty sheets contract and resist structural collapse under extreme temperatures, successfully satisfying mandatory 1-hour to 3-hour fire-resistance containment ratings along critical property boundaries.
Meticulous Penetration Firestopping & Sealing
The protective envelope of a fire-rated partition wall is instantly compromised if mechanical, electrical, or plumbing lines leave open gaps within the framing. Our technicians execute thorough firestopping protocols, packing open voids with specialized high-temperature mineral wool insulation. We then seal every single box cutout, joint connection, and structural plumbing penetration with certified intumescent fire caulking that expands when exposed to heat, blocking smoke paths completely.
Structural Demising & Partition Steel Stud Framing
Fire-rated walls require a dimensionally stable, non-combustible underlying structure that will not twist or lose its load-bearing capacity during a thermal event. We specialize in commercial-grade steel stud framing, engineering resilient partition tracks and demising boundaries that stay perfectly straight and rigid. This structural stability provides the necessary support for multi-layered fire board installations, ensuring the wall system functions perfectly under extreme stress.
Specialized Moisture-Resistant Fire Assembly Integration
High-humidity zones—such as commercial kitchens, attached parkade garages, and subterranean basement suites—require fire protection that won't degrade under damp conditions. We deploy advanced paperless or moisture-resistant fire-rated plasterboard variants that feature fiberglass mats instead of cellulose faces. This specialized material choice prevents structural sagging and blocks dangerous mold growth while maintaining its full fire-resistance rating.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation Process
Laser-Guided Framing Alignment
Our technicians scan your wood or steel studs with digital laser levels, fixing framing alignment flaws to build a perfectly flat wall layout. This structural accuracy ensures that heavy, dense fire-rated boards sit flush against the tracks without creating hidden tension points that could lead to joint cracking over time.
Itemized Upfront Estimate
We supply a detailed, transparent proposal that breaks down the exact square footage of fire boarding, necessary firestop sealants, and finishing levels with flat-rate pricing. This upfront quote contains absolutely zero hidden fees, giving you clear expectations for building budgets or insurance processing.
Dust-Contained Precision Boarding
Our crews set up protective containment barriers, pack framing cavities with fire-safing insulation, and mount the Type X sheets using code-compliant screw patterns. We deploy active HEPA dust extraction systems while cutting panels to keep your active home or commercial property meticulously clean.
Certified Multi-Coat Taping & Skimming
Our finishing craftspeople embed heavy-duty mesh tape into specialized fire-resistant compounds, applying progressive layers across sequential mudding and sanding stages. We complete the process with a flawless Level 5 skim coat, creating a perfectly smooth, seamless surface that is fully paint-ready.

Multi-Family & Legal Suite Separation
Constructing secondary suites or multi-family townhomes in Surrey requires absolute adherence to strict BC Building Code fire-separation guidelines. We construct certified horizontal and vertical firewall separations between adjacent residential living spaces and utility zones, ensuring full code compliance. Our expert installations protect separate households and guarantee that your custom remodel passes all structural city inspections without costly layout delays.
Integrated Soundproof & Thermal Upgrades
An outstanding fire barrier can also provide elite environmental comfort and privacy for your property's occupants. We offer integrated assemblies that layer specialized acoustic dampening compounds and high-density thermal insulation alongside our fire-resistant sheets. This multi-layered layout dramatically cuts ambient noise transfer between shared units while optimizing building energy efficiency, providing multi-functional performance.
Dust-Free Level 5 Luxury Finishing
Enforcing critical safety regulations does not mean you have to settle for rough, industrial-looking walls in your home or office. Our finishing craftspeople deliver immaculate Level 5 smooth finishes across all newly built fire containment walls, treating seams with multi-stage mudding and skimming. Throughout this extensive sanding and texturing process, we run advanced dust containment systems to protect your active indoor air quality.
