Description
Our GypCeiling Shaft systems can be specified for horizontal applications as a free-spanning membrane with no support from the soffit. Just like the vertical shaftwall applications, GypCeiling Shaft systems are designed to be constructed from one side only.
These systems can achieve wide spans and high levels of fire resistance, and a typical application is for fire escape corridors. Supporting partitions should be double the fire resistance period as the Horizontal ShaftWall.
