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.

Built to the listed assembly
A fire-resistance rating applies to a tested or listed assembly. The board is one part of it; framing, fasteners, joints, insulation, penetrations and intersections can matter too. GA-600 is a design resource for these systems, and your plans or specs have to name the assembly for each wall or ceiling.
Gypsum Association GA-600 fire resistance and sound control design manual
Coordinate openings before the wall is closed
Doors, outlets, pipes and other penetrations can break a rated assembly, so we work from the detail for each joint and opening. We install the drywall described. Choosing the rated design and certifying the building's fire rating stay with the designer and the inspector.
Keep fire-rated work separate from ordinary patching
Repairing a rated wall means keeping its assembly intact, which an ordinary patch may not do. If a damaged wall has a plan label or assembly reference, tell us before we price it, so the repair follows the documented wall and regular board doesn't get swapped in.

Fire-Rated Drywall Installation questions in Puyallup
Does fire-rated drywall alone create a rated wall?
No. The rating covers the whole specified assembly. The approved design and the project inspection decide what's required and whether it passes.
Can a regular drywall patch be used on a rated wall?
Not if it breaks the assembly. Give us the rating or system reference and we'll repair it with the specified board, joints and opening details.
