Fire-rated drywall assemblies built in DuPont
We carry out fire-rated drywall installation in DuPont to the design reference on your drawings, covering the board, framing and joint details it lists. A single panel or finish step never carries the rating, so our estimate names the full assembly.

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.

- Board work follows the project sequence.
Here’s how we get it handled
Text us photos or call
A close-up, a wider view and your city give us a useful starting point. You can also call and talk through the work.
Agree the scope and schedule
We review the work with you, arrange a site visit where needed and put the agreed scope and finish in your estimate.
Get the space finished
Solis completes the agreed work and reviews the finish with you. Include interior painting in the scope for a complete drywall-and-paint handoff.

Fire-Rated drywall installation in DuPont homes
When DuPont's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 6% Before 1940
- under 1% 1940–1959
- 8% 1960–1979
- 24% 1980–1999
- 63% 2000 or later
- 2002Median year DuPont homes were built
Half of DuPont's homes were built before 2002 and half after. 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
- 62.5%of DuPont 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
Identify the tested or listed design
Each GA-600 fire-resistance design is a set of parts: board type and layers, framing, fasteners, joint treatment and penetration details. Give us the wall type or assembly number from your drawings and we build that design. A generic 'rated wall' note isn't enough to price from.

Keep surface finish separate from assembly performance
Level 4 and Level 5 are surface finishes and say nothing about fire performance. A rated wall can still need a paint-ready finish, so we list both requirements, and the skim, texture or paint never alters a required layer or joint.
Plan the edges, openings and service penetrations
Doors, boxes, pipes and wall intersections each have a detail in the selected system. Our estimate says who supplies the parts at those spots and where our work meets the next trade, from the head of the wall to its base.

Rated-wall estimate inputs
Attach the wall schedules, assembly references, board and framing details, opening locations, finish level, quantities and drawing revision, plus any sample or inspection steps. We return an estimate by wall type covering installation and finish.
Fire-Rated Drywall Installation questions in DuPont
Does fire-rated drywall alone create a rated partition?
No. The rating belongs to the whole assembly built to its tested, listed or approved design.
Can Solis select the fire assembly a project needs?
No. The approved plans and the local building official set that. We scope the drywall work they list and coordinate the handoffs.
