STUD WALL PARTITIONS AND CEILING'S
Partitions are suitable for domestic and general commercial use. They are strong high performance systems which are:
• cost effective
• lightweight
• versatile
• able to achieve high levels of fire resistance, acoustic and thermal insulation Drywall Timber Stud Partitions are suitable for limited heights, and typically for domestic use.
Performance
The selection of stud size and type, number and thickness of board layers will depend on the partition height and performance required for fire resistance, sound insulation and duty rating to BS 5432 Part 2. Refer to the performance tables.
High performance walls
High performance walls are constructed from two independent timber frames with a cavity between.
Plasterboard
Plasterboard partitions and walls are non load bearing, and are constructed using dry techniques. They can be used in all types of buildings including private housing, commercial and industrial buildings. The range covers all applications providing simple space division, through to high performance walls designed to meet the most demanding fire resistance, sound insulation, strength, robustness and height requirements.
Construction: Plasterboard partitions and walls are constructed using lightweight materials which can give rise to significant savings in structural design compared to the masonry alternatives.
Environmental Plasterboard linings are not suitable for use in areas subject to continuously damp or humid conditions. They are also not suitable for use in temperatures above 49°C but can be subjected to freezing conditions without risk of damage.
Plasterboard is designated a 'material of limited combustibility within the national building regulations. For optimum sound insulation all junctions have to be airtight, this is achieved sealing all gaps between boards with standard sealant materials
DRYLINER SUSPENDED CEILINGS
Dryliner is a simple, quick, cost-effective and completely dry ceiling system. It is fixed directly to timber joists to provide high levels of fire protection and sound reduction and is particularly suitable for use on uneven timber joists to achieve a flat ceiling surface.
Performance
The selection of boarding will depend on the performance required for fire resistance and sound insulation. Refer to performance table
