You can, but if you live in the US, all that's required is 5/8" drywall on each side, with the garage side fire taped. That gives the required 1 hour rating. Hope this helps.

mum and dad (and colleges) block websites for a reason. in line with danger once you're mature sufficient to comprehend and settle for this, you've got greater privileges. A relatives isn't A DEMOCRACY!

wood tick is correct but if you don't have access to both sides to hang drywall on,2 layers on one side works too.
