Protect your home with code-compliant, fire-rated assemblies.
At Express Drywall Services, we know fire-rated drywall is about more than passing inspection – it’s about keeping people and property safe. Our crews install Type X boards and other fire-resistant assemblies with the right fasteners, sealants and layout patterns. Every step follows Ontario building codes and the manufacturer’s requirements.
Not all walls are the same. A basement unit needs different protection than a garage and an attached home needs barriers between living spaces. We match board thickness and layer count to the fire rating required, whether it’s 45 minutes or a full two hours.
Details matter here. Penetrations are sealed with approved fire caulking, joints are staggered and transitions to standard drywall are reinforced so weak points don’t form. Framing is checked for spacing and strength before we ever lift a sheet.
We also handle the paperwork. Homeowners get documentation that spells out rating, materials and installation methods. That makes it easier when inspectors visit or when you resell the property down the road.
Projects stay predictable too. We schedule with clarity, keep sites clean and coordinate with other contractors so the job flows without bottlenecks.
Toronto clients choose us because fire protection isn’t a place to cut corners. Safety, precision and proven methods are what we deliver on every site. And when we hand the project back, you get more than a finished wall – you get protection built to last.
Fire Safety First
Every step is designed to meet fire codes, prevent spread and protect what matters most.
Safety-Driven Choice
Fire-rated drywall is essential in areas where code requires additional fire protection – like garages, furnace rooms, basements and shared walls. If you’re finishing a basement unit, converting a space into a rental or working on a multi-storey home, fire-resistant assemblies provide extra safety and compliance. Many Toronto homes also need upgrades during renovations to meet modern safety standards.
It’s also a smart addition if you’re planning to install stoves, fireplaces or high-wattage electrical components nearby. Beyond legal requirements, fire-rated walls offer peace of mind in utility spaces, stairwells and between dwelling units. Whether you’re working with an inspector or just want to do it right – this is the upgrade that protects from the inside out.
Beyond Fire Rating
Fire-rated drywall is one piece of the puzzle – at Express Drywall Services, we build full residential and interior wall systems across Toronto. Our work spans framing, insulation, boarding, taping and finishing, so clients don’t need to juggle separate trades. Crews are equally at home on new builds and messy, lived-in renovations.
We also install sound separation systems that cut noise between units and moisture-resistant assemblies that stand up to bathrooms or laundry rooms. Popcorn ceilings? We remove them cleanly without leaving dust everywhere. Aria vents sit flush to walls or ceilings and custom drywall accents like archways or niches add real character.
Performance always comes first. Surfaces are built to meet fire ratings, code compliance and long-term durability. At the same time, we respect the home – floors are covered, debris is cleared and timelines are kept tight.
A small one-room project gets the same process discipline as a full-floor finish. We adapt to space constraints, ceiling heights and existing structures so the final result feels seamless.
Toronto homeowners call us because the end product looks good, but also because the hidden layers are built right. Drywall solutions should add comfort, improve acoustics and elevate style – not just tick boxes on code. And when the behind-the-wall details are handled correctly, everything in front works better.
