Send Us Your Fire Code Deficiency List
We can review the required corrections and determine the applicable fire separation, door, closer or firestopping work.
One Contractor for Multiple Fire Safety Deficiencies
Fire separation walls, fire-rated doors and door closers work together as part of a building's fire protection system. Damage or deficiencies involving these components can allow fire and smoke to spread into corridors, stairwells, dwelling units and other protected areas.
Tesla Fire Systems specializes in correcting Ontario Fire Code violations and fire-safety deficiencies in commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

Fire Separation Systems & Type-X Drywall
Fire separation systems help restrict the movement of fire and smoke between dwelling units, corridors, service rooms and other protected areas of a building.
Tesla Fire Systems provides fire separation deficiency corrections and installations using Type-X fire-rated drywall for applicable wall and ceiling assemblies.
Type-X drywall is a 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) gypsum board designed for fire resistance and is commonly used as part of fire-resistance-rated construction.
