Drywalling code

Hi Joanne,

You need to find out if the rest of wall is 5/8 or 1/2 inch to match up.

I just want to know if it is code that we have to use 5/8th in that small space?

Hi,

Code between two commercial area's is 5/8" fire rated drywall. Not simply 5/8".

Hope this helps.

The code for commercial divided walls is, 5/8" fire rate,d at least 60 minutes.

Any commercial unit need to be 5/8 under code for 2hour fire rating that is the code requirements for Ontario.
