Ajax commercial buildings get fire-rated assemblies installed to OBC without shortcuts.
Ajax has developed into one of Durham Region’s most active commercial communities — a town with busy retail corridors along Bayly Street and Salem Road, a growing industrial and logistics sector, food service and healthcare operations and a residential population that continues to generate demand for new commercial development. As Ajax’s commercial building stock expands and its existing properties are renovated, repurposed or change occupancy, Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements apply across a range of assemblies throughout each building — from walls between tenancies and stairwell enclosures to mechanical room boundaries and corridor fire barriers.
We deliver commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Ajax for the full range of the town’s commercial building types. Every project starts with a proper on-site assessment — we review the building’s occupancy type and configuration, identify every fire-rated assembly requirement and install systems that meet OBC standards, pass inspection and hold up over time. Our crew works clean, stays on schedule and coordinates with other trades at every stage.
Over 20 years of commercial drywall work across Ajax and Durham Region means we understand what local inspectors expect and what building owners need. Express Drywall Services backs every commercial drywall project with a 1-year warranty, free on-site estimates within 48 hours and pricing that’s transparent from the first conversation. No subcontractors, no gaps in accountability.
Ajax commercial. Fire-safe and compliant.
Every Ajax commercial fire-rated project follows our structured five-step process — thorough, precise and built for a clean result at inspection.
Ajax fire walls. Properly done.
Ajax’s commercial buildings — retail plazas, food service units, healthcare offices, industrial facilities and the mixed-use developments along its main corridors — each carry OBC fire separation requirements specific to their occupancy type. Retail buildings require fire-rated walls between tenancies and in stairwell enclosures. Industrial buildings with office or retail components require rated separation between those occupancy types.
Healthcare and medical offices carry specific fire separation requirements across a wider range of assemblies. Mixed-use residential and commercial buildings require rated assemblies between commercial and residential floors. Each of these requirements must be met with correctly specified and installed fire-rated drywall assemblies — none of them are discretionary. Commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Ajax is a code-mandated requirement for every compliant commercial build or renovation in the town.
