Fire ratings are not just about the drywall board.
Inspectors typically check for:
🚨 Correct board type and thickness
🚨 Proper screw spacing
🚨 Complete joint treatment
🚨 Penetrations properly sealed
🚨 Stud and track compliance
🚨 Continuity to deck where required
Missing any of these can fail inspection and delay occupancy.
✅ Pro Tip: Always follow the tested assembly — not just “what usually works.”
At Nailed It Drywall Contracting, we install fire-rated systems correctly the first time.
