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.

Fire-Rated drywall installation in Chehalis homes
When Chehalis's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 29% Before 1940
- 16% 1940–1959
- 25% 1960–1979
- 18% 1980–1999
- 12% 2000 or later
- 1965Median year Chehalis homes were built
Half of Chehalis's homes were built before 1965 and half after. The estimate is wide here, about 7 years either way. New walls in an existing home are finished to meet what is already there, so the home's age shapes the finish plan. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
- 11.7%of Chehalis homes were built in 2000 or later
Newer homes are almost all drywall over wood framing, which keeps new work and the existing walls consistent. U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 ACS 5-year estimates
Follow the listed assembly from the project documents
A fire rating belongs to a complete tested or listed assembly. Board type and layer count are part of it, alongside framing, fasteners, joints, insulation, penetrations and intersections. GA-600 is the design manual for these systems, and your approved documents say which detail applies to each wall or ceiling.

Coordinate penetrations and door openings
An opening or a service run that wasn't coordinated can break the rated assembly. We follow the referenced details for joints and transitions while the project team coordinates doors, electrical and plumbing. Hanging a fire-rated panel doesn't select or certify the building's fire design.
Keep rated repairs separate from ordinary patches
A small repair on a rated wall still has to keep the documented system intact, which makes it a different job from patching an ordinary wall. If the wall carries a schedule label or assembly number, tell us, and we repair it against that detail with the specified board and joint work.
Assembly numbers for a rated-wall quote
Send the assembly designation, the drawing detail, wall sizes, board layers and opening locations, and say whether it's new work or a repair.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation questions in Chehalis
Does fire-rated drywall by itself create a rated wall?
No. The rating belongs to the whole assembly, from the framing and joints to the penetrations. Your approved plans name the system.
Can a regular patch be used in a fire-rated partition?
No. A repair in a rated wall follows that wall's assembly details. Give us the wall type or listing and we patch to it.
