An interior renovation at the Bernard Betel Centre, a community centre on Steeles Avenue West in Toronto. The photos show the stage where a building either passes inspection or doesn’t — framing, insulation and fire separation.
- Interior demolition back to structure in the renovated areas
- New partitions framed in wood and steel stud
- Exterior-wall insulation with a sealed poly vapour barrier
- Mineral wool fire and acoustic insulation in corridor walls and ceilings
- Fire-rated Type X drywall throughout, per code for institutional use
- New bulkhead ceilings with recessed LED cove and pot lighting
- Mechanical, plumbing and electrical rough-ins coordinated overhead
Community buildings serve everyone — the fire-rating and acoustic work you never see is most of the job.
