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 Tenino homes
When Tenino's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 17% Before 1940
- 12% 1940–1959
- 22% 1960–1979
- 21% 1980–1999
- 29% 2000 or later
- 1980Median year Tenino homes were built
Half of Tenino's homes were built before 1980 and half after. The estimate is wide here, about 9 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
- 29.3%of Tenino 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
Name the assembly before pricing the board
GA-600 catalogs complete fire-resistance designs for gypsum walls, partitions and ceilings. The design you reference sets the board type and number of layers, the framing, the fasteners, the joint treatment and the details at penetrations. A note that says 'one-hour drywall' tells us none of that, so we price from the assembly number.

Keep finish level separate from fire resistance
The wall still needs a finish for paint, and Level 4 or Level 5 describes that surface, not its fire performance. We note both on the quote and finish the face without changing a required layer or joint detail.
Coordinate edges and penetrations
Doors, electrical boxes, pipes, the head of the wall and intersections all affect a rated assembly. The drawings should show the listed method at each one and who does which part. We write that split into the quote so drywall never stands in for a tested detail or another trade's work.

Fire-Rated Drywall Installation questions in Tenino
Does fire-rated drywall by itself create a rated wall?
No. The rating applies to the full assembly built to its tested, listed or approved design.
Can Solis choose which fire assembly a project needs?
No. Your approved plans and the local building official set the requirement. We scope the drywall part of the assembly they list and coordinate the handoffs.
