Install fire-rated drywall to the specified assembly
A fire-rated wall depends on the assembly shown in the project details, along with the sequence for framing and board work. Treating the board as a stand-alone item can leave installation steps disconnected from the design.
Solis installs the specified fire-rated drywall assembly from the project details and required sequence. Carrying the assembly notes into the board work keeps installation connected to the drawings and the surrounding construction.

Use the listed assembly from the plans
A fire rating belongs to the whole tested or listed assembly, and a sheet of Type X on its own doesn't carry one. We start from the assembly the plans name, and the board type and layer count follow that design.

Track the components that affect the system
Stud size and spacing, fastener type and spacing, joint treatment, insulation and the details at doors and intersecting walls can all be part of the listing. We mark where one wall type stops and the next begins, and we list any area where the drawings leave a detail out. Substitutions and missing details go to the designer and the building official.

Set the board and finish handoff
The city's Building Division requires a permit for almost all construction in Centralia, so the approved permit drawings are the set we price from. Our quote separates board installation, joint finishing, access openings, firestopping and paint whenever different trades or phases own them, and each penetration gets the detail the plans show.
Send the wall tags and listings
Wall tags, the listed design numbers, elevations, opening details and the current addenda let us check the scope against what was approved.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation questions in Centralia
Does fire-rated drywall alone create a rated wall?
No. The rating comes from the complete approved assembly, built to its listing.
Can a drywall contractor choose the required rating?
No. The approved plans and the building official set it. We build what is listed and tell you where the documents are thin.
