At Express Drywall Services, we install fire and sound separation systems that meet the highest standards of safety and acoustic control. From demising walls in multi-tenant spaces to corridor partitions in offices and healthcare facilities, we build assemblies that contain flame, suppress sound and meet inspection every time. Our team follows UL/ULC listings and OBC code requirements to ensure compliance across all project types.

We work with rated drywall, mineral wool insulation, resilient channels and sealants that together form effective fire and sound barriers. Our crews understand the layering, detailing and coordination required to avoid weak points – especially at wall intersections, door frames and penetrations. We also apply acoustic strategies to reduce noise transmission between rooms, suites or functional zones.

Each installation is carefully coordinated with mechanical, electrical and fire protection trades to preserve wall integrity. We document assemblies and help prepare for fire marshal and acoustic testing where required. Whether you’re working on new construction or a retrofit, we deliver results that inspectors trust and tenants appreciate.

With over 20 years in commercial interiors, Express Drywall Services brings precision, compliance and peace of mind to every fire and sound separation project.

How We Deliver Fire and Sound Separation Systems

We combine technical accuracy with field-tested methods to create assemblies that meet both code and performance expectations.

We begin by reviewing architectural drawings and verifying required STC (Sound Transmission Class) and fire ratings for each wall. Our team selects tested assemblies from UL/ULC directories that match your project's needs. We coordinate early with consultants or GCs to avoid later revisions. This ensures the system is approved before framing even begins.
We install metal stud framing according to the required spacing, thickness and height for rated assemblies. Backing, firestop details and insulation layout are confirmed prior to board application. We verify the substrate is clean and properly supported to accept multiple layers of drywall. This stage is critical for the long-term integrity of the wall system.
We apply fire-rated Type X or Type C boards in staggered configurations to reduce seam transfer. Acoustic batts or mineral wool are installed within the cavity to absorb sound. Where needed, we add resilient channels, isolation clips, or double-stud configurations. All details are installed according to tested system specs.
Once board installation is complete, we apply fire caulking, acoustic sealant, or putty pads to electrical boxes and penetrations. Joints, seams and perimeter gaps are sealed to maintain both acoustic and fire integrity. Our team follows up with third-party firestop inspectors when required. Every assembly is built to perform - and pass.
We walk the space with the site supervisor or project manager to ensure everything is complete and labeled as needed. Documentation for rated assemblies is handed off for your records or inspection team. We clean the site and prepare walls for the next trade. With Express Drywall Services, your fire and sound separation systems are done right the first time.

Safety and Silence - Built Into the Walls

When Fire and Sound Separation Is Required

Fire and sound separation systems are essential in commercial buildings where safety and privacy are top priorities. These assemblies are required in multi-unit developments, healthcare facilities, offices, hotels and educational institutions to meet fire codes and control noise between occupied spaces. Rated partitions help prevent flame and smoke from spreading between rooms while also reducing the transfer of voices, footsteps or machinery. Whether you’re building new or upgrading an existing property, proper separation is critical for safety, comfort and code compliance.

You’ll need fire- and sound-rated assemblies for demising walls, corridors, mechanical enclosures and between distinct occupancies within the same building. In retrofit projects, these systems can be added to improve tenant satisfaction, reduce liability and meet new compliance standards. We work with developers, architects and property managers to deliver reliable, long-lasting wall systems tailored to their building’s use. If your Toronto project requires protection and performance – we’ll help you build it into the structure.
