I'm going to be putting up drywall in my attached garage that will double as a shop for a year or two... I figured I should use fire rated sheetrock. What thicknesses does it come in? I seem to reca

I haven't seen fire-rated any thinner than 1/2", and I think it's available in various thicknesses all the way up to 1". But 5/8" seems to be most common. Randall

I asked my buddy the building inspector. He says you want 5/8" type X. It has a one-hour fire rating. The X means the paper is self-extinguishing and the gysum is fiber-reinforced.

Ceiling too? Yeesh. Looks like I'll be renting a sheetrock lift to install that if so... :-) Thanks! Mark

Walls, clgs, floors, doors, etc are rated as an assembly. A one hour wall has fire rated 5/8 GWB on each side of 2 x 4 studs on 16 inch centers up to so and so feet high, structurally attached at top

In my case, I'm re-doing an attached garage on a house that was built in 1955. I've stripped the walls and the ceiling was already open. There was nothing firerated on any wall, including the shared

Money well-spent, Mark. I did the whole ceiling of my 20 x 30 shop by myself in one day. The lift was worth every nickel of the 20-some bucks the rental place hit me for. Phil Ethier

Well, what I remember.... The fire rated separation is due to the fuel loads, not hazard. The garage is not a more hazardous area, but is presumed to have a higher fuel load. I'd use rated stuff on t

Get a copy of the installation instructions for installing the fire gypsum board - the details such as nail spacing is important for meeting the fire requirements. You will also need to make sure the
