Fireproofing of Furnace Rooms

At Odyssey General Contracting, we provide professional furnace room fireproofing services in Calgary to help homeowners meet fire safety requirements and protect their homes. Furnace rooms are one of the most overlooked fire risks in a house — proper fire separation between your furnace, hot water tank, and the rest of the home can be the difference between a contained incident and a spreading fire. We handle every step of the process, from fire-rated drywall installation to fire caulking, so your furnace room is sealed to current standards.

Installation of a Solid Layer of Drywall

Odyssey General Contracting Ltd. ensures the highest level of fire protection for your furnace room by installing a solid layer of drywall on all surfaces. This includes both the walls and the ceiling, creating a comprehensive barrier against potential fire hazards. Our team uses only the highest quality fire-resistant drywall to maximize safety and durability.

Complete Taping & Sealing with Mud

To further enhance the fireproofing capabilities of your furnace room, we provide complete taping and sealing with mud. This process ensures that all seams and joints in the drywall are securely sealed, preventing any gaps that could compromise the room’s fire resistance. Our skilled technicians meticulously apply and smooth the mud for a seamless and effective finish.

Sealing gaps with fire caulking

Odyssey General Contracting Ltd. takes fire safety to the next level by sealing any remaining holes or gaps with specialized fire caulking. This fire-resistant material is applied to all penetrations, such as around pipes or electrical conduits, to ensure that every possible entry point for fire is securely sealed. Our attention to detail in this final step provides you with peace of mind, knowing that your furnace room is protected to the highest standards.

Furnace Room Fireproofing and Legal Basement Suites

If you’re developing your basement into a legal secondary suite, furnace room fireproofing is typically a required part of the process. Our team coordinates this work alongside your basement development project in Calgary, ensuring your furnace room meets the standards inspectors look for during suite approval.

Many municipalities, including Calgary, require fire separation around furnace rooms and mechanical spaces — especially when a basement includes a secondary suite. We recommend confirming exact requirements for your property with the City of Calgary or a building inspector, and we coordinate our work to meet those standards.
