Installation overview
Gypframe channel is snipped and bent to the required radius to acheive a smooth and un-faceted line, and suitably fixed to the floor and ceiling using two rows of fixings at 300m centres.
Gypframe studs are fitted vertically within channel sections, and to abutments, to form the framework.
Studs are fixed into the channel at both head and base and must all face the same way. If a deflection head is required, the studs should not be fixed into the head channel and alternative temporary support may be required to stabalise the stud at the head whilst boarding proceeds.
GypWall CURVE partitions require the studs to be mechanically fixed to the floor channels using Gyproc Waferhead screws.
GypWall CURVE partitions require the studs to be mechanically fixed to the head channel using Gyproc Waferhead screws.
For single layer board linings, fix boards horizontally. Stagger board joints and avoid vertical joints occuring on the apex of the curve. For double layer board linings, inner boards are fixed horizontally to all supports. Face layer boards are fixed horizontally with joints staggered in relation to the first layer. Vertical joints occuring on the apex of the curve in the face layer should be avoided. Additional studs may be required where multiple layers are specified to account for the difference that arises between inner and outer radii.
