Details
This section should be read in conjunction with the Products list.
- Background: Masonry
- Finishing Requirements: The system should be finished using either one of our Thistle or ThistlePro plasters, or Gyproc jointing products. See the product range guides on the British Gypsum website for more information.
- Loadbearing: No
- Other Requirements: SpecSure® system performance warranty confirms that British Gypsum proprietary systems will perform as specified for the lifetime of the building. The SpecSure® warranty requires that all components are specified in full and constructed in accordance with British Gypsum’s installation guidance. For more details see the British Gypsum website. Always check with the design team before making any changes to the chosen specification, ensuring appropriate substantiation is sought to confirm that the solution still meets all required project performances.
- Screw: Board layer 1, fix securely to Gypframe metal supports around the perimeter of the board and intermediate stud positions at maximum 300mm centres. External corners reduce fixings to 200mm. Fix working from the centre of each board. Position screws not less than 13mm from cut edges and 10mm from bound edges of boards. Set screw heads flush with plasterboard surface; do not break paper or gypsum core.
- Minimum Cavity / Offset (mm): 20 mm
- Fixing Method: Set out furrings vertically, at specified centres and adjacent to angles, openings, movement joints, etc. Maintain centres of furrings across openings. Bed in 200mm long dabs of adhesive at each end of furring and thereafter at 450mm centres. Bed horizontal lengths of furring to provide continuous support to top and bottom edges of boards. Accurately align all furrings to a true, vertical plane. Install additional furrings where necessary to accept junctions with partitions. Use a continuous line of adhesive to ensure there are no gaps across the cavity.
- Framework / Lining: One Side
- Parge Coat: If required apply a parge coat at least 6mm thick to the entire surface of the background ensuring all cracked or unfilled joints are covered. Allow to set before following on with plasterboard installation.
- Primary Framework Centres (mm): 600 mm
- Thermal Sealant: Before/during installation of dry lining system, fully seal all airpaths around the perimeter of the background and around structural openings and service penetrations through the background using adhesive. Apply as a continuous fillet, leaving no gaps.
