FIRE RESISTANT DRYWALL INSTALLATION
At TWO FRIENDS ALL RESTORATION LLC, we know that safety begins with your walls. Our fire-resistant drywall installation service is designed to enhance the passive protection of your property by slowing the spread of flames in case of fire, allowing valuable time for evacuation and damage control. With over 15 years of experience, our team installs these specialized materials precisely and in full compliance with building codes in Louisville, Goshen, Prospect, Shepherdsville, La Grange, and Shelbyville, ensuring safety, durability, and peace of mind.
These panels—also known as Type X or Type C, are made of gypsum reinforced with non-combustible fibers and are designed to withstand high temperatures for extended periods. They are ideal for garages, kitchens, boiler rooms, laundry rooms, and shared walls in multi-family or commercial buildings.

Our Fire-Resistant Drywall Installation Process
The process begins with evaluating critical zones of the home or building to identify which walls and ceilings need added protection. We select the appropriate type of fire-rated drywall (Type X or C) based on the building code requirements and room use.
We install the panels using certified screws and materials for fire-resistant systems, reinforcing structural elements and sealing all joints and penetrations with care. We follow with taping and mudding using suitable compounds, ensuring the surface is safe and ready for the chosen finish. We can also add extra insulation or acoustic/thermal barriers as requested.
All work is completed in strict compliance with local and national safety codes, with a clean, organized, and transparent approach.
Your home or business’s safety is non-negotiable. At TWO FRIENDS ALL RESTORATION LLC, we install fire-resistant drywall to the highest protection and quality standards.
