Installation overview
Gypframe Channels are fixed at the head and base to achieve the specified wall thickness.
Gypframe ‘C’ Studs are fitted vertically to friction-fit within the channel sections and to abutments, to form the framework.
This allows for adjustment during boarding. Studs should be fitted so as to all face the same direction.
Additional framing is installed as required to support heavy fixtures.
Description
Insulation is installed into the cavity-formed frameworks. The frames are braced using Gypframe 103 FC 50 at specified centres.
Gyproc Sealant is applied to the frame perimeters to seal airpaths.
Boards are screw-fixed to framing members to form the lining.
Horizontal joints in face layer boards should be backed with Gypframe GFS1 Fixing Strap.
