2 0 0 R w db mins is a specialist non-loadbearing Gypframe metal stud internal wall system for use in housing. This versatile system incorporates Gyproc SoundBloc RPID linings, which provide acoustic solutions to comply with Building Regulations pproved Document E, and also provide fire and impact resistance. The system is quick to build, timber-free, and provides pre-finished service cut-outs. There are two build options 0mm stud framing without noggings, and 900mm stud framing with horizontal noggings.

4 T F 0 E bgtechnical.enquiries@bpb.com Installation overview Gypframe channel is fixed to the floor, soffit and abutments. Gypframe coustuds are friction-fitted vertically at either 0mm or 900mm centres (only use Gypframe S 0 coustuds at 900mm centres) within the channel sections to form the framework. This allows for adjustment during boarding. Studs are fitted so as to all face the same way. Services Electrical and other services are normally installed after one side is boarded. Horizontal runs are routed through cut-outs in the studs. Gypframe 99 FC 0 Fixing Channel can be installed between studs to support recessed switch boxes / socket outlets. With S 0 stud framing at 900mm centres, mid-height noggings are located between studs. dditional framing is installed as required to support heavy fixtures. Gyproc SoundBloc RPID boards are screw-fixed at 00mm centres to all framing members to form the lining. Openings To satisfy a Medium Duty rating, Gypframe coustuds are sleeved with a Gypframe channel to full height either side of the door opening or, alternatively, a timber ground is fitted.

7 Design Planning - key factors The position of services should be pre-determined and their installation planned into the frame erection stage. Cavity fire barriers Gyproc SoundBloc RPID screw-fixed into the web of perimeter channels or vertical studs will provide a satisfactory closure to flame and smoke. Refer to section 0 Cavity fire barriers. Services Electrical The installation of electrical services should be carried out in accordance with BS. The cut-outs in the studs can be used for routing electrical and other small services (see GypWall CLSSIC Construction details ). Switch boxes and socket outlets can be supported from Gypframe 99 FC 0 Fixing Channel fixed horizontally between studs, or a high performance socket box detail where higher acoustic performance is required. Board finishing Refer to section Finishing systems and decorative effects. NB In intermittently damp use areas, such as around baths and shower cubicles, Gyproc SoundBloc RPID MR should be used in accordance with NHBC recommendations. Two coats of Gyproc Drywall Sealer applied to the face of standard grade plasterboards, with the edges adequately protected from moisture may also be suitable to receive a tile finish. The application of Gyproc Drywall Sealer provides surface water absorption resistance only, and does not meet the performance requirements for moisture resistant grade boards as defined in BS EN 0, type H. For more information refer to the British Gypsum SITE BOOK, available to download from Where Gypframe coustuds are used, services are routed through 0mm x mm H shaped push-outs, at the same centres as shown in GypWall CLSSIC Construction details a for conventional cut-outs. Cables should be protected by conduit, or other suitable precautions taken to prevent abrasion when they pass through the metal frame. Heating pipes Where heating pipes, particularly micro-bore systems, are to be located within the partition, it is recommended that only one pipe is passed through each aperture in the metal framework. If this cannot be accommodated for whatever reason, it may then be necessary to incorporate proprietary pipe restraining clips or other means of keeping the pipes apart to prevent vibration noise. Ducts Where a large number of electrical cables or pipes have to be accommodated, a service duct can be created by closing up the stud centres to 0mm and omitting the intermediate nogging. Electrical cables should be attached using an appropriate cable retaining device in order to satisfy the requirements of BS. Fixtures Lightweight fixtures can be made directly to the partition linings. Medium weight fixtures can be made to Gypframe 99 FC 0 Fixing Channel. Heavyweight fixtures (to BS ), such as wash basins and wall cupboards, can be fixed using Gypframe 0 FC 90 Fixing Channel. Refer to section.. Service penetrations and fixing into drywall systems.
