Light plasterboard vertical walls with steel
reinforcement
During testing, light plasterboard walls have been used
with the following characteristics:
•
U-shaped horizontal metal frame (50 mm) and C-shaped
vertical frame (49 mm) made from 0,6 mm thick sheet
metal;
•
vertical profiles placed with a maximum spacing of 312,5
mm between each other;
•
reinforcement sheet;
•
Filling made of rock wool with density up to 100 kg/m³
(optional);
•
Each side is made from two plasterboard layers 12,5 mm
thick, unalinged to avoid alignment between the joints
of the layer above and below.
The following indications are given for the installation walls:
•
metal profiles minimum width: 49 mm;
•
metal profiles minimum thickness: 0,6 mm;
•
vertical profiles placed with a maximum spacing of
312,5mm between each other;
•
vertical profile fixing with selfthreading screws or by clin-
ching to the bottom horizontal profile and insertion in
the top horizontal profile;
•
profiles fixed using self-threading screws or by clinching
on every intersection.
•
installation of a frame around the damper with base and
height where shown in the installation instructions;
•
Filling made of rock wool with density up to 100 kg/m³
(optional);
•
each side is made from two plasterboard layers 12,5 mm
minumum thick, unalinged to avoid alignment between
the joints of the layer above and below.
•
the front plasterboards layers are fixed using long enou-
gh screws to pass through the lower plasterboard and
attach to the steel profile underneath.
