Kamco's Area Separation & Shaft Wall Systems category provides contractors with code-compliant drywall solutions designed for fire resistance, sound control, and structural separation in multifamily and commercial construction. At Kamco Supply Corp of Boston, we supply professional-grade shaft wall and area separation systems trusted on complex projects throughout New England.
This category includes gypsum panels, liner boards, and system components used to construct vertical shafts, stairwells, elevator enclosures, and fire-rated separation walls between occupancies. Area separation walls are critical in townhouses, apartments, and multifamily buildings, helping limit the spread of fire while meeting stringent building code and life-safety requirements. Shaft wall systems provide a practical solution where access is limited to one side, allowing crews to build fire-rated assemblies efficiently from the exterior or corridor side.
Contractors rely on these systems for consistent board quality, tested assemblies, and compatibility with
metal framing and firestopping products. Properly installed area separation and shaft wall systems support inspections, reduce risk, and contribute to long-term building safety.
Kamco stocks shaft wall and area separation materials in jobsite-ready quantities to keep projects moving and schedules on track. Browse this category to source dependable drywall systems that deliver fire-rated performance, efficient installation, and code compliance - backed by Kamco's regional expertise, reliable inventory, and contractor-focused service.
