Boiler Room Rules??

Categories: Building Code

I am re-doing our block boiler room in a four family row house. We have been told that we need to install two layers of 5/8″ drywall (which we have done), but also cover that with sheet metal.

Our questions are:

1.Do the layers of drywall in the ceiling need to be taped and compounded?

2.Do the sheets of galvanized sheet metal need to be overlapped?

3.Any other tips or rules about the regulations.

4.We are also doing the basement ceiling in single 5/8″, do these joints need to be taped?
