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.

Start with the exact assembly reference
GA-600 catalogs fire-resistance designs for walls, partitions and other assemblies. Your documents decide which applies at each boundary and give its layers, framing and finishing details, so include that reference and the drawing revision. A panel label or the words fire-rated board don't set the installed wall's performance, which is why we price the complete construction as specified.
Carry openings and penetrations through the bid
Doors, boxes, ducts, joints and intersections all affect how a rated assembly is finished. The drawings and approved details should show what happens there and which trade handles each part. We count both faces and any returns in our package. Design changes during construction go through the design team and the building official, and we don't improvise a substitute in the field.
Keep installation separate from design or certification
We install the board that's shown. Our quote doesn't decide where a rated wall is required or certify code compliance, and GA-600 doesn't prove an assembly is approved for your project. The spec, the listing and the local building review stay with the job documents and the professionals responsible for them.

Fire-Rated Drywall Installation questions in Gig Harbor
Does a fire-rated drywall estimate certify the assembly?
No. We price the specified board work, and the approved design and the building official set the requirements.
Can a specified assembly be changed to another drywall type?
Not on our say-so. Proposed changes go to the design team and the authority having jurisdiction for approval.
