British Gypsum Gypframe 148 FEC 50 Folded Edge Standard Floor & Ceiling Channel is the most commonly used product for securing wall studs in ceiling and floor junctions for partition heights of up to 4200mm. They are made using the UltraSteel process providing a more stabile and rigid surface for improved strength and easier screw holing. 

The channels can be used in variety of different systems, including:

  • Cavity fire barriers which are in accordance with the applicable regulation, Approved Document B Metal or timber frame, can be pre-formed or built in-situ and can withstand up to 60 minutes of fire integrity. When installed, special care must be given to the distance between the barriers, but also the closure of the cavities at every junction and cavity within the element, whereas the barriers must maintain their effectiveness during the life span of the structure. Also, fire resistance should be maintained throughout the entire structure which is provided by fitting the barriers tightly to the construction or by using adequate fire-stopping materials;
  • FireWall provides up to 240 minutes of fire resistance, while requiring minimal wall thickness, especially designed to meet the requirements of insurance companies in the words of fire protection, why it is especially applicable to warehouses, plant rooms and data storages. Special care should be given to any insulation system installed in order of preventing it to anyhow affect the performance of the system, which also goes for any openings is the wall which are generally not required with the FireWall system. Finally, it is advisable that a damp proof membranes are installed if dealing with a new concrete screeded floor;
  • GypLyner IWL, providing fire protection and fire resistance, used for upgrading both thermal and sound performance of masonry walls, designed to correspond to BS 5234 standards. The system can increase the sound and thermal insulation of both new or existing walls, only if the elements are well fitted to the background, junctions properly sealed and water penetration and damp issues taken care of by applying recommended measures;
  • GypWall AUDIO is a system especially designed to provide high sound performance, why is often used in cinemas, theatres and music rooms, also providing a certain level of fire resistance (up to 120 minutes) capable to offer protection to structural steel within the cavity, yet very lightweight in comparison to the alternatives;
  • GypWall CLASSIC is a lightweight system which provides a 30-120 minutes of fire resistance, has substantial sound insulation performance, also protecting the metal framework from warping, rotting and twisting. The system can be have a number of different applications only if the position of the fixings and the installation are pre-planed and determined;
  • GypWall QUIET is used for sound insulation of residential dwellings (mostly used in apartments and flats), is in accordance with the Approved Document E of the Building Regulations and the BS 5234 standard. It is recommended that the closure of the cavities is provided with mineral wool;
  • GypWall QUIET IWL is in compliance with the Robust details constructions, meaning that there is no pre-completed testing required, also designed to meet BS 5234 requirements, used to accommodate services between the twin stud frameworks;
  • GypWall QUIET SF whose considerable acoustic performance makes it applicable to separating walls (between apartments, for example), also providing fire resistance of 60-120 minutes. For optimal acoustic performance, it is recommended that all air paths are properly sealed;
  • GypWall RAPID dB PLUS internal wall system incorporating Gyproc SoundBloc RAPID linings, providing not only acoustic insulation but also impact and fire resistance, in accordance with the applicable Building Regulations. The system includes two installation options with noggins (900mm stud framing) and without noggins (450mm stud frames) which are both very easy to install, achieving the Rw value of 40dB. The system is particularly applicable to internal wall constructions in residential dwellings, whereas special attention should be given to determining the position of services in the frame erection stage and the potential loss of acoustic insulation performance of the system through structural steelwork;
  • GypWall STAGGERED has a wide application in both commercial and residential buildings such as hospitals, schools, offices, shops etc all due to increased sound insulation properties at a minimal partition width, in conformity with the BS 5234 and providing up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. When installing, it is important that the linings are not separated by a bridge created from the fixtures and services;
  • ShaftWall is a lightweight system which can be installed in the early construction phase, especially applicable to areas with limited access, providing a fire-protective structure for the inner elements. It is designed to meet air pressure and deflection requirements, but also the boundary requirements prescribed by the applicable Approved Document B of the Building Regulations. The system can be found in stairwells, service ducts and risers and lift shafts, providing a protective enclosure.
