Danny Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just got a call from one of my realtors. A house that I will be inspecting has a double wall oven. I have not looked at this yet and I will post pics after I do the inspection to get further input. I guess the wall ovens(electric) are through the wall between the kitchen and the garage. They project into the garage, and a cabinet was built around them on the inside of the garage. My first thought is on the "gas and fire" proofing between the garage and the house. I'm thinking if they sheetrock the "cabinet" and tape the seams, then they will regain the gas proofing of the garage. Just thought I'd get some input on this before I inspect the property. I've never come across something like that. Any input would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hockstein Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The wall needs to be a 1-hour rated assembly with a minimum 1/2" drywall, on the garage side. Drywall is only part of the requirement. Check out IRC R309 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
