Installation overview
Gypframe Channels are fixed to the floor and soffit to achieve the specified wall thickness.
Gypframe 'C’ studs are fitted vertically to a friction-fit within the channel sections, and to abutments, to form the framework. This allows for adjustment during boarding. Studs are fitted so as to all face the same direction.
The frameworks are braced using Gypframe 103 FC 50 Fixing Channel at 1200mm maximum centres, or mid-height for walls less than 2400mm high. Additional framing is installed as required to support heavy fixtures.
The specified Isover insulation is installed between frameworks.
