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