<FONT FACE="Times, Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>My experience has been to jam the drywall up as tight as possible, crushing the insulation to the metal deck. The gap, if any, between the drywall and metal deck is minimal, and the fiberglass is not combustible. This is usually accepted by building departments. If you cut the insulation, it will fall, and you will have a break in your thermal barrier.<BR>

Check with your local BO, however.<BR>

<BR>
While building the wood frame demising wall (1 HR.) up to the steel building roof deck, do we have to remove 3.5" of the thin layer of wrapped insulation installed by the steel building erectors?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
