Fire-Rated Block Wall Installation in Toronto: Built for Safety, Built to Last

Why Fire-Rated Block Walls Matter

Fire-rated block walls help contain fire and smoke, giving people more time to evacuate and first responders more time to act. In many residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, these walls are required to meet code and insurance standards. When designed and installed correctly, they protect life safety, reduce damage, and speed up recovery after an incident.

Code-Compliant Protection You Can Trust

Fire-rated block wall installation in Toronto demands precise materials, exact detailing, and strict adherence to the Ontario Building Code and local fire safety requirements. Solid Core Construction delivers all three. Our team coordinates engineering, permits, and inspections to ensure your wall assembly meets the specified fire-resistance rating—typically 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours—without compromises.
