Fire-Rated Wall Assemblies in Toms River, NJ
Toms River Drywall constructs fire-rated wall and shaft assemblies in Toms River commercial buildings, holding to the tested listing that a one or two hour rating legally depends on.
The listing is the specification
A fire rating is earned by a specific tested design: named board type and thickness, stud gauge and spacing, fastener schedule, joint treatment, and cavity insulation, all together. Swap any component and the wall may look identical while the rating no longer exists. We build to the design number on the drawings and keep the listing on site for the inspector to check against.
Where rated walls actually fail inspection
It is rarely the field of the wall. It is the pipe that punched through without a listed firestop detail, and the head-of-wall joint that lacks a rated deflection treatment. We detail both before board goes up and leave them exposed for inspection before they are concealed, which keeps the certificate-of-occupancy walk short.
