Installed to meet fire code standards & improve passive safety in commercial & industrial spaces.
Fire-resistant drywall plays a critical role in passive fire protection across commercial and institutional buildings. At Express Drywall Services, we install Type X and Type C fire-rated gypsum boards in walls and ceilings to help contain flames, reduce heat transfer and protect vital areas during emergencies. Our systems are engineered to meet Ontario Building Code requirements and are customized to suit occupancy type, wall assembly and fire separation needs.
We work on new construction and retrofits across offices, retail stores, medical centres, multi-unit buildings and industrial spaces. Our team installs single- and multi-layer fire assemblies, often integrating them with soundproofing, insulation and shaft walls. We follow architectural and engineering drawings with strict attention to detail, framing requirements and product specifications.
Each assembly includes fire caulking, proper fastener spacing and UL/ULC-approved methods to ensure performance under inspection. We coordinate closely with electrical, plumbing and HVAC trades to ensure full compliance and avoid rework. Fire-rated drywall is often required in corridors, exit routes, mechanical rooms and between occupancy separations.
With over 20 years of experience, we deliver results that stand up to time, code and safety audits. Every panel we install is placed with purpose – to protect people, property and operations. When fire resistance matters, Express Drywall Services builds with confidence and care.
Built for Containment. Installed with Code Precision.
Our fire-rated assemblies are built with precision and compliance in mind - ensuring safety from layout to final inspection.
Built-In Safety for Code-Critical Areas
Fire-rated drywall is mandatory in many commercial and institutional settings to help slow the spread of fire, protect occupants and give first responders time to act. It’s typically required in exit corridors, stairwells, mechanical rooms, electrical closets, demising walls and areas separating different occupancies. These assemblies play a critical role in meeting local and national fire codes.
In many cases, using standard drywall can result in failed inspections, delayed occupancy permits or increased liability risks. Fire-resistant systems aren’t just about compliance – they’re about protecting lives and investments. If your project involves life safety zones or building code requirements for passive protection, fire-rated drywall is not optional – it’s essential.
