Layered for Performance

How We Build Fire and Sound Separation Walls in Toronto

We follow a detailed, code-aligned process to deliver walls and ceilings that protect, insulate and perform long-term.

✅

Code Review & Layout Planning

We start by assessing the space and confirming whether it requires a 1-hour, 45-minute or other fire rating. Wall and ceiling layouts are planned based on framing, utilities and room use. This ensures every assembly meets Ontario Building Code requirements.

✅

Material Selection & Prep

We choose certified fire-rated drywall, acoustic insulation (like mineral wool) and optional resilient channels. Fire- and sound-rated sealants are included in our planning. Materials are staged and cut to minimize waste and maximize system effectiveness.

✅

Assembly Installation

We install each layer in the correct order - insulation, channels (if required), drywall and all fastening systems. Gaps and penetrations are sealed as we go. Our crew ensures full coverage and alignment across each section of wall or ceiling.

✅

Acoustic & Fire Sealing

We apply acoustic caulking around outlets, fixtures and joints. At ceiling edges and seams, fire-rated sealants close gaps that could compromise safety or sound control. These small details make a big impact on performance.

✅

Inspection & Finishing

After the structure is complete, we inspect for compliance and integrity. We then proceed with standard taping, mudding and sanding - leaving the surface smooth, sealed and ready for paint. The final result is a hidden system with high-impact benefits.

Quiet. Safe. Compliant.

When to Consider Fire and Sound Separation in Toronto

Fire and sound separation systems are essential when finishing basement apartments, creating legal rental units or dividing shared spaces. These assemblies are often required by code to provide a barrier between living areas, mechanical rooms, garages or attached dwellings. If you’re converting space for tenants or secondary use, fire and acoustic separation is a must.

They’re also a smart upgrade in busy households or multi-generational homes, where noise control improves comfort. Whether you’re blocking out TV noise from a media room or adding peace between floors, these systems create quieter, safer interiors. They’re invisible – but they make a big difference in how your home feels and functions.
