Introduction
6.1
GENERAL Gypsum Industries ceilings provide a choice of internal linings to timber joists or concrete floors. A range of solutions are available from straightforward direct fixing into timber joists, through to suspended ceilings. The systems cover all building types, and are suitable for both new-build and refurbishment. Applications cover basic ceiling linings through to the provision of sound insulation, thermal insulation, fire resistance and fire protection to structural steelwork. Gypsum Industries ceilings can also be specified as a membrane to protect roof trusses in loft spaces. A comprehensive range of Arteco pre-finished gypsum ceiling tiles, boards and planks are available for use in the CasoLine systems. The products combine durability, acoustic performance and aesthetics, and can provide up to 60 minutes fire resistance. A number of sound insulating solutions are given for remedial treatments in conversion work. These include GypFloor SILENT which provides a means of upgrading the floor construction, and optimising the performance of the ceiling lining. Environmental Gypsum Industries ceiling products are not suitable for use in areas subject to continuously damp or humid conditions. Plasterboards are not suitable for use in temperatures above 49C but can be subjected to freezing conditions without risk of damage. Loading Gypsum Industries metal framed systems are not designed to take the weight of personnel. IS EN ISO 9001:2000 Gypsum Industries manufacturers plasterboards and plasters under the IS EN ISO 9001:2000 quality assurance system. IS EN ISO 14001:1996 Gypsum Industries has an environmental management system which complies with the requirements of IS EN ISO 14001:1996 Health and Safety Safety Data Sheets for all Gypsum Industries products are available to download from our website www.gypsum.ie, or via our Technical Sales Department.
FIRE PROTECTION Gypsum Industries ceiling products provide good fire protection owing to the unique behaviour of the non-combustible gypsum core when subjected to high temperatures. For reaction to fire classifications for Gyproc and Glasroc boards please refer to Section 2.1 . Lining selection Two high performance fire resistant boards are available from Gypsum Industries Gyproc FireLine and Gyproc MultiBoard. Gyproc FireLine is a cost-effective fire resistant board suitable for use over a wide range of specifications. Gyproc MultiBoard offers similar high levels of fire resistance, but gives the additional benefits of durability and flexibility. The inherent flexibility of Gyproc MultiBoard makes it ideal for both convex and concave curved surfaces, an example application being a barrel vault ceiling. Fire resistance Gypsum Industries floor and ceiling systems can provide protection to structural steel, steel beams supporting concrete floors, and to timber joist floors. Plain-edged or badly fitted tongue and groove (t & g) floor boarding contributes little to the overall fire resistance of the floor. Well fitted t & g boarding can contribute additional time to integrity and insulation. The addition of a hardboard or plywood covering to plain-edged or badly fitted t & g floor boarding can upgrade the contribution to that of well fitted t & g boarding.

Introduction
THERMAL PERFORMANCE Thermal properties Gypsum Industries boards, ceiling tiles, and planks are relatively lightweight materials and have low thermal capacity. In conditions of intermittent heating, linings will warm up quickly, providing early comfort conditions for the occupants, and will help reduce the risk of harmful surface condensation. Thermal insulation Moy insulation can be laid above the ceiling lining in some systems to provide substantial levels of thermal insulation. Timber floors During the life of the building, gaps can occur round the perimeter of suspended floors due to shrinkage of timber. Air infiltration between the floor void and the room through such gaps can contribute significantly to heat loss. The designer should specify a method of restricting this air movement, such as the provision of a flexible seal between the floor and walls. CONDENSATION CONTROL Gyproc DUPLEX grade boards can be used as the lining where the ceiling system is required to perform the function of a vapour control layer. The application of two coats of Gyproc Drywall Sealer after jointing provides additional water vapour resistance. Other precautions, such as cavity ventilation, may also be necessary to reduce the risk of interstitial condensation. SOUND INSULATION Airborne sound insulation performance describes the capability of the structure under test to reduce the levels of sounds, such as speech or music, travelling between spaces. Therefore, the higher the airborne sound insulation rating the better the performance. The impact sound insulation performance describes the resultant noise level in the room below when the floor is impacted, for example, by footsteps. Therefore the lower the impact sound insulation rating the better the performance.
To achieve optimum sound insulation it is important that the ceiling is made airtight. Most junctions can be sealed using Gyproc jointing materials. Other small airpaths can be treated using Gyproc Sealant. Where Moy Isover insulation is specified in the cavity, compression of the glass wool mat must be avoided by ensuring that its thickness does not exceed the depth of the cavity. Conversion work The sound insulation contribution of the existing floor will play a significant part in the performance of the upgraded construction. It is, therefore, important to optimise this by sealing all gaps in and around the existing structure prior to the installation of the new ceiling. Perimeters of floors and ceilings can be sealed with Gyproc Sealant. Gaps between floor boarding can be treated by fixing a layer of hardboard on top. It is equally important to seal the perimeter and joints of the new ceiling. Plasterboard joints are sealed by the normal jointing techniques using Gyproc Joint Tape and Gyproc jointing materials. Perimeters can be treated in this manner but, if this is not possible, Gyproc Sealant or a product from the Gyproc Cove and Cornice range is recommended. Additional impact sound insulation can be achieved by using a soft resilient floor covering. Wherever possible, the ceiling to an existing timber joist floor should be retained.

Introduction
6.1
Flanking transmission All quoted sound insulation figures were measured in the laboratory in the absence of flanking transmission. It is likely that on-site installation will be governed by flanking transmission. This is particularly the case where support walls are of lightweight masonry construction1 and a weighted standardised level difference in excess of 50dB is required for the floor. The use of timber joist or lightweight concrete floors to meet Building Regulation requirements with this type of associated structure may, therefore, require the addition of some flanking transmission control. The use of timber joist sound resisting floors in timber framed support structures (although again governed by flanking transmission) generally results in performances in keeping with the requirements of Building Regulations. See BRE Digest 334 Sound insulation of separating walls and floors Part 2: Floors. Access to services The Gyproc range of access panels has been purposedesigned to give access to services in Gypsum Industries access metal framed systems. They are available in a variety of fire-rated and non fire-rated ceiling options. Refer to section 8.4 - Gyproc Profilex Access Panels.

Concealed grid MF suspended ceiling system
INTRODUCTION CasoLine MF concealed grid MF suspended ceiling system is a monolithic suspended ceiling system suitable for most internal dry lining applications. It is used in all types of commercial and industrial buildings, including institutional use areas such as schools and hospitals. The system comprises a concealed metal framework suspended from the structural soffit using strap hangers or angle section. Gypframe Acoustic Hangers can be used to suspend the grid from timber joists to maximise the degree of acoustic isolation. Gyproc boards are screw-fixed to the framework to form a ceiling lining with a seamless surface. CasoLine MF provides a robust suspended ceiling able to accept a degree of loading. The plenum is used to route ducting and other services and can be accessed by providing Gyproc Profilex access panels. Ventilation openings and other services can also be accommodated. Curved ceilings can be easily achieved using preformed Gypframe MF7 support components.

INSTALLATION
Suspension from concrete soffit Gypframe MF6 Perimeter Channel is fixed to the wall at maximum 600mm centres, and Gypframe MF12 Soffit Cleats secured to the soffit at 1200mm centres, using appropriate fixings. Gypframe MF8 Strap Hanger or Gypframe GA1 Steel Angles are pre-cut and secured to the soffit cleats with Gypframe MF11 Nut and Bolt. Alternatively, the GA1 angles can be fixed directly to the Soffit (see figure 10). Gypframe MF7 Primary Support Channels are installed over the Gypframe MF6 Perimeter Channels and secured to the hangers. Gypframe MF5 Ceiling Sections are run at right angles to the underside of primary channels to form the secondary grid. The ceiling sections are secured to the primary channels by Gypframe MF9 Connecting Clips. Boards are fixed to the secondary grid to form single or multi-layer linings as specified.
Suspension from timber joists The procedure is as for concrete except that soffit cleats are not required hangers are twice fixed directly to the side of the joists. Board fixings Board fixings for Gyproc, Glasroc F and Rigitone boards should be at 150mm centres at perimeters, 230mm centres within the field of the board. Board fixings for Gyptone boards should be at 230mm centres across perimeters and through the field of the board.
A special procedure is used for framing, fixing and jointing Rigitone and Gyptone boards. Detailed installation notes are given in the Installation Guide.

PERFORMANCE Refer to section 6.1 Introduction, for general considerations. In the following tables the fire resistance and sound insulation performances are based on imperforate constructions using boards with all joints taped and filled according to Gypsum Industries recommendations. Moy insulation may be laid over the back of the ceiling grid, and does not detract from the fire performance of the floors. The quoted performances are achieved only if Gypsum Industries components are used throughout, and the Companys fixing recommendations are strictly observed.

Fire protection For reaction to fire classifications for Gyproc and Glasroc boards please refer to Section 2.1 . Fire resistance The fire resistances quoted are for imperforate ceilings tested to BS 476: Part 8: 1972, or BS 476: Parts 21 and 22: 1987, or Part 23: 1987, or assessments based on these tests. Sound insulation The airborne and impact sound ratings quoted are for imperforate ceilings and have been tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3: 1995, and rated in accordance with BS EN ISO 717-1: 1997. The tests on ceiling/partition combinations in Table 8 were treated as site tests. Airtightness is essential for optimum sound insulation. While most junctions will be sealed with standard jointing materials, gaps at the perimeter of the floor and ceiling, and other small airpaths, can be sealed using Gyproc Sealant. The sound insulation data quoted was measured in the absence of flanking transmission. The performance of the floor in practice will generally be governed by flanking transmission. Gyptone and Rigitone boards are perforated and are designed to provide acoustic correction. Where sound insulation room to room is required, sound attenuation (Dncw) of 39dB can be achieved with the inclusion of 100mm Moy Plus Roll over the back of the ceiling. Alternatively, other design considerations should be adopted such as extending adjoining partitions into the plenum void or installing a plenum barrier. Sound absorption Gyptone and Rigitone boards provide sound absorption when used in conjunction with an air space behind the ceiling. Tests have been carried out to BS EN 20354: 1993 and ISO 354: 1985. Increased levels of sound absorption can be achieved by including insulation over the back of the ceiling. For full details regarding the performance of the Gyproc Ceilings Range, please refer to our Ceilings Guide. Water vapour control Where there is a requirement for a vapour control layer, Duplex grade boards should be specified as the face layer (i.e. the second layer in double layer linings). The application of two coats of Gyproc Drywall Sealer to the face lining will also provide vapour control.
Thermal properties Moy Isover insulation can be laid over the suspension grid to provide the required standard of thermal insulation. DESIGN Refer to section 6.1 Introduction, for general considerations. Cavity barriers Where cavity barriers are required, these can be formed using Gyproc FireLine (limited combustability) or Glasroc F MultiBoard (non-combustible) screw-fixed to a simple metal or timber frame. The framing should be fixed to the structure to avoid undue loading of the ceiling suspension grid or, alternatively, additional hangers should be incorporated to support the ceiling alongside the cavity barrier. Refer to section 6.7 Cavity barriers. Ceiling lift The Designer should give consideration to designing in a pressure relief to minimise the risk of ceiling lift in rooms with no permanent ventilation. Ceiling lift may arise where opening a door in a virtually leak proof room causes the lightest element in the room, i.e. normally the ceiling, to lift, creating a noise. Making efforts to improve air tightness in buildings may increase instances of ceiling lift. Whilst this may be annoying to the occupier, it has no detrimental effect on the performance claimed for the ceiling, but designing out by incorporating permanent ventilation in the room would be desirable. Vents in the door or ceiling might be suitable. Suspension Gyproc and Gyptone linings Fixing points for suspending the metal grid are required at 1200mm centres in each direction. Suitable fixing devices, e.g. Rawl Hammer In Fixing, should be employed when fixing to the structure. These should be non-combustible, e.g. Rawl Rawlok Sleeve Anchor, when the ceiling is required to provide fire protection. The ceiling grid can be suspended from a concrete soffit using Gypframe MF12 Soffit Cleats and Gypframe MF8 Strap Hanger, or alternatively, Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle. The latter provides a more robust suspension support which restricts any flexing of the lining when pressure is applied from below. Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle is thus the preferred suspension option when a plaster finish is specified to Gyproc boards. If Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle is used it can, if preferred, be fixed directly to the soffit rather than via MF12 Soffit Cleats. The angle is cut and bent to fit as shown in Fig 10. For single layer boarding, where GA1 Steel Angle is fixed direct, the MF7 Primary Support Channel and GA1 Steel Angles are fixed at 1200mm centres. For typical double layer ceilings the GA1 Steel Angles are fixed at max. 1200mm centres, but the MF7s are closed down to 900mm max. centres. Gypframe Acoustic Hangers can be used to suspend the grid from timber joists to maximise the degree of acoustic isolation (see Fig 12). In a comparative test a 3dB improvement in airborne sound insulation and a 6dB improvement in impact sound insulation were achieved. Refer to Table 7, Constructions 4 and 6 , relating to double layer Gyproc SoundBloc linings.

With concrete floors the high mass of the construction means that high levels of acoustic performance can be achieved when the CasoLine MF ceiling is suspended by conventional means i.e. strap hangers or angle section. Suspension Rigitone linings The Gypframe MF7 Primary Support Channels are fixed at 1000mm centres. Suspension points to the structure for the MF7s are required at 900mm centres. Suitable Rawl fixing devices should be employed when fixing to the structure. The ceiling grid can be suspended from a concrete soffit using Gypframe MF12 Soffit Cleats and Gypframe MF8 Strap Hanger, or alternatively, Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle.

Partition to suspended ceiling junction Tests on lightweight constructions have revealed the following: 1. In situations where a GypWall metal stud partition, which must be securely fixed to the structure, penetrates CasoLine MF, the structural performance of the partition can be based on the floor to suspended ceiling height irrespective of the construction. Therefore, lightweight partitions which are required for space division in tall storey heights will be significantly strengthened by the ceiling system. Where CasoLine MF is installed on one side of the partition, only a slight loss of flexural strength will occur when any loading is applied on the ceiling side of the partition. 2. The structural performance of a GypWall metal stud partition fixed to the framework of a CasoLine MF ceiling, or to noggings cut from Gypframe MF5 Ceiling Section set at 600mm centres, is equal to the performance of a metal stud partition of the same height fixed direct to the structural soffit.
Imposed loads Tables 9, 10 and 11 provide loading data for the suspension grid for Gyproc, Gyptone and Rigitone boards respectively, based on a limiting deflection factor of L/400.

* Maximum loads should be reduced by 25% if Gypframe GA1 Steel Angles are fixed directly to the soffit. Services The plenum can be used to route all service requirements including ducting, pipework, electrical cables and conduit. Where lighting fittings, Gyproc Profilex access panels and similar components are incorporated as part of the design requirements, consideration must be given to maintaining the integrity of the ceiling to meet fire resistance and sound insulation requirements. Where Gyproc access panels are required they can be installed as shown in Fig 4. Refer to section 8.4 - Gyproc Profilex Access Panels. The installation of services should be in accordance with all available standards, guidelines and recommendations.

Fixtures / Fixings Fixings to the system should always be made into the metal grid or to supplementary framing. Some adjustment of the primary grid may be required to support particularly heavy loads, see Tables 9, 10 and 11. Where loads outside this range are anticipated, independent suspension should be provided from the structure. Control joints Gyproc Control Joints may be required in the ceiling to relieve stresses induced by expansion and contraction of the structure. The location of the control joints is at the discretion of the specifier. It is recommended that they coincide with movement joints within the surrounding structure. Rigitone expansion joints Rigitone boards should be cut 10mm short of the perimeter wall and should not be fixed to the perimeter channel, see Figs 7 and 8. Expansion joints should be included in the ceiling, one 10mm expansion joint should be included every 10m of ceiling in each direction, and where there is an expansion joint within the surrounding structure.
Finishing Refer to section 1.5 Finishing Coat Plasters, section 2.2 Jointing, and section 2.4 Decorative effects. Additional care and attention should be exercised when jointing Gyptone and Rigitone boards so as not to fill the perforations and impair the acoustic performance of the finished ceiling. Estimating Gyproc / Gyptone linings The estimated construction time is 1.5m2 / man hour (single layer ceiling) or 1m2 / hour (double layer ceiling) ready for finishing. Estimating Rigitone linings The estimated construction time is 0.75m2 / man hour ready for decoration.

GypLyner
Concealed grid ceiling lining system
INTRODUCTION GypLyner ceiling is a general purpose ceiling lining system suitable for most internal applications. It is used in all types of buildings from residential properties to large commercial developments, and is equally suited to both new-build and refurbishment. The system caters for bulkheads and novel design details and fully complements GypLyner wall lining. The ceiling is based on an independent metal framework comprising channel sections friction fitted to a track at the perimeter. The channel sections are fixed back to the background with support brackets or connectors. The framing assembly is clad with Gyproc boards. The lining is jointed to achieve a seamless surface suitable to receive most decorative finishes. GypLyner ceiling is easy to handle and simple to construct. By maintaining a cavity to the background, it readily facilitates the inclusion of services. The framework can be used with all types of background and the stand-offs which can be achieved enable background irregularities to be corrected. Generally no preparation work is required.

Fixing to a concrete soffit Gypframe GL8 Track is fixed at the perimeter with the longer leg at the bottom. Gypframe GL2, GL9 or GL12 Brackets are fixed at the required centres. Gypframe GL1 Lining Channel is located into the perimeter track and each leg of the GL2, GL9 or GL12 Bracket is screw-fixed to the Gypframe GL1 Lining Channel. The protruding legs of each bracket are bent to sit back from the channel face. Gypframe GL1 Lining Channel sections are joined using Gypframe GL3 Channel Connectors. Additional channel or supplementary framing is installed if required to support fixtures. Boards are fixed to the Gypframe GL1 Lining Channels to form one or two layer linings as specified. Fixing to timber joists Gypframe GL5 or GL6 Timber Connectors are fixed to the side of joists using Gyproc Drywall Screws. The connectors must be aligned accurately since they can not be adjusted once Gypframe GL1 Lining Channel is engaged into a row of timber connectors and twisted into position. The channels are located into Gypframe GL8 Track at the
perimeter. Gypframe GL1 Lining Channel sections are joined using Gypframe GL3 Channel Connectors. Additional channel or supplementary framing is installed if required to support fixtures. Boards are fixed to the Gypframe GL1 Lining Channels to form one or two layer linings as specified. If the existing ceiling is to be retained, Gypframe GL2, GL9 or GL12 Brackets are fixed to joists through the retained ceiling with suitable fixings. Gypframe GL1 Lining Channels and boards are fixed to form the new ceiling.

Fire protection For reaction to fire classifications for Gyproc and Glasroc boards please refer to Section 2.1 . Fire resistance The fire resistances given in Tables 2 - 3 are for imperforate ceilings tested to BS 476: Part 8: 1972, or BS 476: Part 21: 1987, or assessments based on these tests. Sound insulation The airborne and impact sound ratings given in Tables 2 - 3 are for imperforate ceilings and have been tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3 :1995, and rated in accordance with BS EN ISO 717-1: 1997. Airtightness is essential for optimum sound insulation. While most junctions will be sealed with standard jointing materials, gaps at the perimeter of the floor and ceiling, and other small airpaths, can be sealed using Gyproc Sealant. The sound insulation data quoted was measured in the absence of flanking transmission. The performance of the floor in practice will generally be governed by flanking transmission. Thermal properties Moy Isover insulation can be laid over the suspension grid to provide increased thermal insulation.
DESIGN Please refer to section 6.1 - Introduction - for general considerations. Planning - key factors The depth of the ceiling cavity is determined by the positioning of the fixing brackets. For concrete soffits the fixing brackets allow sufficient adjustment for levelling the ceiling. Allow for a stand-off of 25mm - 75mm plus the lining thickness when using Gypframe GL2 Brackets, 25mm 125mm plus lining thickness when using Gypframe GL9 Brackets and 25mm-175mm plus the lining thickness when using GL12 Brackets. When fixing to timber joists using Gypframe GL5 or Gypframe GL6 Timber Connectors, allow for a maximum cavity depth of 35mm and 120mm respectively measured from the bottom of the joists to the underside of the GL1. Cavity barriers Where cavity barriers are required these can be formed using Gyproc FireLine (limited combustibility) or Gyproc MultiBoard (non-combustible) screw-fixed to a simple metal frame. The framing should be fixed to the structure to avoid undue loading of the ceiling suspension system. Please refer to section 6.7 - Cavity barriers. Fixing to the structure When lining concrete soffits, Gypframe brackets should be positioned equidistant at up to 1200mm maximum centres. Gypframe GypLyner Anchors are suitable for fixing brackets to solid concrete or masonry backgrounds. The safe working load is 350N per fixing, tested in concrete of characteristic strength of 30 N/mm2. When fixing to hollow backgrounds proprietary fixings will be necessary. When lining timber joists, Gypframe timber connectors should be fixed to the joists to support the channels at max. 1200mm centres. When lining engineered timber I joists, please contact the joist manufacturer for advice. Services The cavity above the metal framework facilitates the incorporation of services. Pipes and conduits should be fixed in position before installing the framing. Where lighting fittings, Gyproc Profilex Access Panels and similar components are incorporated as part of the design requirements, consideration must be given to maintaining the integrity of the ceiling to meet fire resistance and sound insulation requirements. The installation of services should be in accordance with all available standards, guidelines and recommendations. Fixtures Fixings to the system should always be made into the channels or to supplementary framing.

SILENT
Sound insulating floor system
INTRODUCTION GypFloor SILENT is a sound insulating floor system designed for use in the residential sector. It is specified in conversion or improvement work to upgrade an existing timber joist floor to meet the acoustic requirements of national Building Regulations. It is also used in new-build to improve the internal environment by reducing sound transmission through upper floors. The system employs SIF Floor Channels with integral resilient strips which are fitted over the top of floor joists. Gyproc Plank is cut and fitted between the joists with the cut ends resting on the channel flanges. Moy Plus Roll is laid between the joists to rest on Gypframe Resilient Bars which are fixed to the underside of the joists. Gyproc boards are screw-fixed to the resilient bars to form the ceiling. The floor is completed by screw-fixing floor boarding through Gyproc Plank into one flange of the metal channel section. GypFloor SILENT provides a resiliently mounted floor layer and ceiling lining. Mass and sound absorption are provided within the floor zone which minimises the thickness of the floor. The system is simple and economic to install and access to services is easy where traditional square edge floor boarding is used.

INSTALLATION
Floor system installation For joists 63mm or less, Gypframe SIF1 Floor Channel is located centrally over the joists, leaving a 6mm clearance gap at walls. Where joints in channel sections occur, sections are butted together. Where joists run within 30mm of the wall, Gypframe SIF2 Floor Channel is located in place of Gypframe SIF1 Floor Channel. Gyproc Plank is cut to a neat (not tight) fit between channels. Flooring is laid across the channels and screw-fixed through the Gyproc Plank to the channel flange on one side only, using Gypframe SIF5 Floor Screws. It is important to ensure that no fixings are allowed to connect the Gypframe floor channels to the joists. When fixing to joists 64mm - 75mm in width, Gypframe SIF4 Floor Channel is used in place of Gypframe SIF1 Floor Channel. For joists over 75mm width, two Gypframe SIF2 Floor Channels (suitably overlapped) are installed.
Ceiling fixing Gypframe RB1 Resilient Bars are fixed through their base flange to each joist using Gyproc Drywall Screws. Resilient bar noggings are fixed at perimeters. Moy Isover insulation is laid between joists to rest on the resilient bars. Base layer boards are fixed to resilient bars with their long edges at right angles to the resilient bars. Face layer boards are fixed through to all resilient bars. Select an appropriate screw length to ensure that screws do not contact the joists.

Site measurements on GypFloor SILENT installed between flats have indicated that the level of sound insulation expected from separating floors and their surrounding structure can be achieved. For site measurement data, please contact the Technical Sales Department.
DESIGN Please refer to section 6.1 - Introduction - for general considerations. Planning - key factors The system will add 7mm to the level of the top of the joists. The finished surface of the applied ceiling linings will be 48mm from the underside of the joists when Gypframe RB1 Resilient Bar and a layer of Gyproc Plank plus 12.5mm SoundBloc are applied. When two layers of 15mm board are specified that dimension will be 46mm. Ceiling linings should be fixed prior to any installation of dry lining or plastering on walls. If this is not possible, ceiling linings should properly butt against the wall surface. In refurbishment work the level of existing joists should be checked. If there is misalignment, consideration should be given to using a GypLyner or CasoLine MF suspended ceiling to support the ceiling boards, and they should be level and straight for the flooring applications. Structural1 The system is primarily intended for timber floors with an intensity of distributed load of up to 5.0kN/m2, and a concentrated load of 4.5kN. An increase in the mass of the floor will result from upgrading. The load capacity of the supporting floor joists should therefore be checked, with due consideration to the effects of lateral buckling and the need for intermediate restraints. This may be particularly important where the system is to be used in conjunction with engineered timber I joists. Engineered Timber I Joists Please contact the joist manufacturer for advice. Services The installation of services within the floor zone should be carried out so as to allow easy access from above and should, where possible, follow the line of the floor joists. The use of square edge flooring will allow easy access to services. Services should be installed in accordance with all available standards, guidelines and recommendations. Finishing Please refer to section 1.5 - Finishing Coat Plasters, section 2.2 - Jointing and section 2.4 - Decorative effects. Estimating The estimated construction time is 0.5m2 / hour ready for finishing.

Timber joists ceilings and separating / compartment floors
INTRODUCTION Ceilings to timber joist floors are an established form of ceiling construction, which is widely used in both new housing and refurbishment. Separating / compartment floors are often specified as fire and sound resisting floors in residential units such as flats and apartments to meet the requirements of national Building Regulations. The ceilings comprise one or two layers of Gyproc plasterboard screw-fixed or nailed to traditional timber joist supports. Moy glass mineral wool insulation can be included in the floor cavity to improve acoustic performance. Timber joist ceiling linings are quick and easy to install, and provide a lining which can be jointed to give a seamless finish ready for direct decoration or a traditional gypsum plaster finish.

INSTALLATION
Direct fix plasterboard ceiling Boards are fixed to ceilings, prior to lining walls and partitions, with the long edges at right angles to the joists. Cut-ends are located over a joist or timber nogging support. Timber noggings (where required) are fitted between joists at room perimeters to support board edges. Noggings may also be required to support board edges in the field of the boards. Boards are preferably fixed to timber supports using Gyproc Drywall Timber Screws, to minimise fixing defects. Indirect fix to Gypframe RB1 Resilient Bars The bars are fixed through the single fixing flange to the underside of timber joists (at 90 to them) using Gyproc Drywall Screws. The first and last rows of Gypframe RB1 Resilient Bars are located at all wall perimeters. Boards are fixed to the underside of Gypframe Resilient Bars with long board edges at right angles to the bars. When fixing boards, care must be taken to ensure that the plasterboard fixing screws do not make contact with the joists.

Fire protection For reaction to fire classifications for Gyproc and Glasroc boards please refer to Section 2.1 . Fire resistance The fire resistances given in Tables 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are for imperforate ceilings tested to BS 476: Part 8: 1972 or BS 476: Part 21: 1987, or BS 476: Part 22: 1987, or assessments based on these tests. Sound insulation The airborne and impact sound ratings given in Tables 2, 6 and 7 are for imperforate ceilings and have been tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3: 1995 and BS EN ISO 140-6: 1998, and rated in accordance with BS EN ISO 717-1: 1997 and BS EN ISO 717-2: 1997. Airtightness is essential for optimum sound insulation. While most junctions will be sealed with standard jointing materials, gaps at the perimeter of the floor and ceiling, and other small airpaths, can be sealed using Gyproc Sealant. The sound insulation data quoted was measured in the absence of flanking transmission. The performance of the floor in practice will generally be governed by flanking transmission. Water vapour control Where there is a requirement for a vapour control layer,
DUPLEX
DESIGN Please refer to section 6.1 considerations. Introduction - for general
Planning - key factors To minimise the risk of ceiling finish defects occurring, seasoned timber with a moisture content not exceeding that recommended in BS 5268: Part 2: 2002 should be used. The contractor should ensure that timber supports are accurately spaced, aligned, and levelled. Consideration should be given to using Gyproc Drywall Timber Screws as the preferred method of fixing. Cavity barriers Cavity barriers may be required to satisfy the requirements of national Building Regulations. Please refer to section 6.7 - Cavity barriers. Strength and robustness Timber should be aligned and level, and should meet the requirements of BS 5268: Part 2: 2002. The dimensions and assembly of timber supports should be sufficient to allow positive fixing of boards without bounce or undue deflection due to nailing, screwing, or other applied force. When the minimum joist width conditions cannot be met, a timber batten should be securely fixed to the side of those timber supports where ceiling boards butt in order to increase the bearing surface. Please refer to Joist width overleaf. Where plasterboards are fixed at maximum centres in adverse conditions the standard of lining can be affected. Adverse conditions can generally be described as conditions where high humidity occurs, principally in the cold, damp, autumn / winter period. They also refer to buildings under construction during this period where both the structure and wet applications such as plastering and screeding are subject to slow drying conditions. Where a polyethylene vapour control layer is included in the ceiling construction in conditions described previously, condensation can form on the polyethylene surface. This can result in plasterboard becoming unduly damp, and affecting the standard of acceptability of the lining and any applied plaster or textured coating.
grade boards should be specified as the face layer (i.e. the second layer in double layer linings). The application of two coats of Gyproc Drywall Sealer to the face lining will also provide a degree of vapour control. Please refer also to Timber noggings overleaf. Thermal properties Moy Isover insulation is laid between the joists where required to provide the specified standard of thermal insulation.
42
January 2009
6.5
Imposed loads The designer should ensure that the floor construction is suitable to support any imposed loads. Timber noggings Suitable timber noggings, normally 38mm x 38mm, may be required between joists and at the room perimeter to support board edges and board ends. The provision of noggings depends on the thickness of boards used, and the spacing of timber joists (please see Table 8). In addition, the need for noggings is also dependent on any fire resistance requirements, so Tables 2 and 7 must be referred to. Timber noggings should always be provided at the room perimeter except when using 15mm board or 19mm Gyproc Plank in non-fire rated situations. When fixing DUPLEX grade boards providing vapour control noggings are required regardless of joist spacing or board thickness in order to ensure that vapour control integrity is maintained. In multi-layer plasterboard ceilings, the provision of noggings relates to the outer layer board only, unless otherwise stated.
Nail popping Loosening of nails in timber can occur through timber shrinkage (please see Fig 7), or as a result of fixing boards to misaligned or twisted framing. To reduce the risks, boards should be fixed tight to framing members. To minimise any risk of fixing defects occurring use Gyproc Drywall Timber Screws. If nails are the preferred fixing method, the risk of subsequent fixing defects can occur. Fixing to super-dried timber and engineered I beams It has been established by test that Gyproc Drywall Timber Screws are the best solution for fixing to standard softwood, super-dried timber (approximately 12% moisture content). If engineered I joists are to be used, please contact the joist manufacturer for fire resistance and sound insulation claims and for fixing recommendations. Services Electrical and other small service runs can be routed within the floor cavity. Services should be installed in accordance with standards, guidelines and recommendations. Fixtures / fittings Fixtures should be made into joists, or to supplementary timber. Finishing Please refer to section 1.5 - Finishing Coat Plasters, section 2.2 - Jointing, and section 2.4 - Decorative Effects. Estimating The estimated construction time is 15 - 20m2 / hour (single layer ceiling - boarding only) or 8 - 10m2 / hour (double layer ceiling - boarding only) ready for finishing.

*Tables 2 to 7 must also be referred to for fire resistant ceilings.
Joist width Where joist width is less than the minimum stated in Tables 2 - 7, the system may not meet its specified performance. If the minimum fixing tolerances cannot be met, 50mm x 25mm timber battens should be screw-fixed to the side of the joists where ceiling boards abut in order to extend the bearing surface.

PERFORMANCE Fire protection For reaction to fire classifications for Gyproc and Glasroc F boards please refer to Section 2.1 . Fire resistance The fire resistances in Table 2 are for imperforate barriers with all joints taped and filled according to Gypsum Industries recommendations. Where there is a relaxation on the insulation requirement, the jointing stage can be omitted. Fire-stopping A cavity barrier must be tightly fitted to rigid construction, or, if it abuts against slates, tiles, corrugated sheeting, or other construction to which it cannot be so fitted, then it must be fire-stopped at the junction. Please refer to CONSTRUCTION DETAILS, which show fire-stopping solutions using suitable rock mineral wool. DESIGN Planning - key factors Cavity barriers must maintain their performance during the life of a building, taking account of any possible building movement due to subsidence, shrinkage, or thermal change. In addition, the possible failure of its fixings or adjacent construction in the event of a fire, and the collapse in a fire of any permitted services penetrating the cavity barrier, should be considered.

Notes: 1 The fire resistances are for barriers with all joints taped and filled according to Gypsum Industries recommendations. The quoted performances are achieved only if Gypsum Industries components are used throughout, and the Companys fixing recommendations are strictly observed. Any variations in the specifications should be checked with Gypsum Industries. 2 Joints between sleeved cavity barriers must be compressed in accordance with Moy Isovers recommendations in order to achieve 30 minutes insulation. 3 Board joints must be reinforced with Gyproc Paper Joint Tape for the quoted fire resistance periods to be achieved.

Semi-exposed soffits
INTRODUCTION Glasroc F SoffitLine combines the benefits of Glasroc F MultiBoard with thermally efficient phenolic foam insulation. It can be fixed to the underside of semi-exposed soffits using the GypLyner system, the CasoLine MF system, or timber battens. Alternatively, it can be directly fixed to the soffit using proprietary anchors. The smooth, off-white surface finish of Glasroc F SoffitLine makes it ideal for carports and basements where the panels are left undecorated. Whilst every effort is made during manufacture to maintain uniformity of colour and texture, there might be slight variations. Gypsum Industries cannot guarantee exact matching. A higher quality finish is achieved if the board is painted. The thermally efficient phenolic foam and foil backing allow high standards of insulation to be achieved.

INSTALLATION Fixing SoffitLine to metal framing If the CasoLine MF option is to be used, Gypframe MF5 Ceiling Section is twice fixed directly to the concrete soffit at 600mm centres using suitable proprietary fixings. If the GypLyner option is used, then Gypframe GL1 Lining Channel is fixed at 600mm centres via Gypframe GL2 or GL9 Brackets. The Gypframe GL9 Bracket provides for a greater stand-off to allow for deeper service routings. Glasroc F SoffitLine is installed transverse to channel sections using Gyproc Drywall Screws inserted at 600mm centres. Normal 600mm framing centres will achieve deflection criteria of L/360. Where deflection criteria are more stringent, framing centres will need to be reduced to 400mm. Fixing SoffitLine to timber battens Timber battens are fixed to the soffit at 600mm centres using suitable proprietary fixings. Glasroc F SoffitLine is installed to the timber using Gyproc Drywall Timber Screws inserted at 600mm centres. Normal 600mm framing centres will achieve deflection criteria of L/360. Where deflection criteria are more stringent, framing centres will need to be reduced to 400mm. Fixing directly to the concrete soffit Glasroc F SoffitLine is fixed using suitable proprietary anchors at 400mm centres to board edges / ends and also in the field of the boards. There may be a slight risk of pattern staining where temperature, humidity, and airborne pollutants are extreme.

PERFORMANCE Fire protection Both Glasroc F MultiBoard and the phenolic foam surface achieve Class 0 ratings when tested to BS 476: Part 6: 1989 and Part 7: 1997. Phenolic foam has an obscuration of less than 5% when tested to BS 5111: Part 1: 1974 Methods of testing for determination of smoke generation characteristics of cellular plastics and cellular rubber materials. The recommended installation systems for Glasroc F SoffitLine incorporate primary or secondary mechanical fixings so as to maintain the fire protection afforded by the MultiBoard facing. Glasroc F SoffitLine is suitable for semi-exposed applications such as soffits and car-ports, where perimeters are open to the elements. During construction it is acceptable for Glasroc F SoffitLine to be temporarily exposed to direct rainfall, or other sources of water, so long as drying out has occurred prior to decoration. The phenolic foam insulation has a closed cell structure giving it good resistance to moisture. Condensation control Glasroc F SoffitLine offers significant resistance to water vapour transmission, provided that all board joints are taped and filled in accordance with Gypsum Industries standard recommendations. The phenolic foam insulation is faced with foil which acts as a vapour control membrane. Surface condensation can occur at cold bridges such as around openings. The use of Glasroc F SoffitLine minimises the risk of surface condensation occuring.
Thermal properties For thermal conductivity () and thermal resistance (R) values relating to Glasroc F SoffitLine, please refer to section 2.1 .
DESIGN Services The cavity between the laminate and the background can be used to incorporate services. Services should be installed in accordance with all available standards, guidelines and recommendations. Fixtures The fixing device selected should be long enough to bridge the cavity and give adequate penetration into the soffit. Finishing Joints should be filled using Pro Fin Quick-Set Filler, finished with Readymix Pro Fin Semi-Lite Filler and Finishing Compound. If a paint finish is desired, once the jointing material has dried, apply at least two coats of exterior quality paint in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
