Commercial Shaft Wall Assembly in Toronto

At Express Drywall Services, we provide expert shaft wall assembly for commercial, residential and mixed-use developments across Toronto. Our systems are designed to contain fire, smoke and sound within vertical service areas such as elevator shafts, stairwells and utility chases. We work with tested assemblies that meet ULC and OBC requirements – essential for high-rise and mid-rise construction.

Our team installs shaft walls quickly and accurately, even when access is limited to one side of the framing. Using approved shaft liner panels, metal track systems and fire-rated boards, we create structures that are both strong and code-compliant. Our installers follow engineered details for head-of-wall joints, control joints and vertical seams.

We coordinate closely with other trades to manage penetrations, firestopping and transition points. This reduces costly rework and inspection delays down the line. Every shaft wall we install is prepped for long-term performance and clean integration with adjacent drywall, block or curtain wall systems.

With over 20 years of commercial drywall expertise, we understand the safety-critical role shaft walls play in your structure. We deliver clean, inspected assemblies – fast – and help you stay on track for occupancy deadlines. When life safety and schedule both matter, Express Drywall Services gets it done right.

Shaft walls are critical to safety and structure, but they’re just one part of a complete commercial interior. At Express Drywall Services, we support Toronto construction projects with a wide scope of interior solutions – from framing to finishing. Our team is trained to work in high-rise builds, healthcare environments, industrial facilities and more.

We install metal framing systems, resilient channels for sound control and fire separation walls tailored to your occupancy requirements. Our services also include insulation for thermal and acoustic performance, drywall hanging and multi-layered assemblies. For easy-to-clean spaces like commercial kitchens or service corridors, we offer FRP panel systems built to withstand impact and moisture.

We also install access doors, drop ceilings, Aria vents and perform professional taping & mudding, painting. Our approach is clean, collaborative and code-driven – designed to support trades working in parallel. Whether you’re enclosing elevator cores or finishing tenant interiors, we bring consistency and control to the entire build.

Our commercial crews follow engineered specs, maintain tidy sites and complete work with minimal disruption. We stay ahead of issues with proactive coordination and jobsite communication. Every phase is managed with attention to detail and backed by over 20 years of experience.
