INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Install Gypframe ceiling framework as described in the Gyproc mf ceiling section ensuring that Gypframe MF5’s are installed at 600mm centres. Set out the ceiling ensuring Gyptone boards are installed perpendicular to the MF5’s and Gyptone patterns are aligned.
Fix Gyptone BIG boards using 25mm Gyproc Drywall Screws. Screws are inserted at 200mm centres, 15mm from board edges and 50mm from corners.
Gyptone BIG boards have all four edges tapered to allow for true flat joints to be created at each board interface to give a perfectly flat finished ceiling. Bed Gyproc Paper Tape firmly into Gyproc Jointing Compound and bulk fill the taper edge joints.
When set, sand if necessary and apply a further coat of Gyproc Jointing Compound and trowel flat taking care not to fill the perforations in the board. Lightly sand to a flat finish and dust off.
Screw heads are then filled with Gyproc Joint Compound and sanded back to a smooth finish.
Painting of Gyptone BIG boards is to be done with a short haired mohair roller. Boards should not be spray painted as this affects the sound absorption performance.
