Gypsum blocks light walls
Gypsum blocks wall can be built with special solid gypsum blocks
with interlocking shaped edges as indicated in the supplier’s instruc-
tions and according to the following characteristics:
• minimum thickness 70 or 100 mm according to the type and re-
sistance class required;
• minimum density 995 kg/m³.
It is generally advisable to first build the wall and then provide the
opening for the fire damper.
Aerated concrete floors
Aerated concrete floors can be built during installation or with pre-
formed slabs with interlocking shaped edges according to the fol-
lowing characteristics:
• minimum thickness 100 or 150 mm according to the type and re-
sistance class required;
• minimum density 650 kg/m³
Poured concrete floors
Poured concrete floors can be built during installation or with pre-
formed slabs with interlocking shaped edges according to the fol-
lowing characteristics:
• minimum thickness 100 or 150 mm according to the resistance
class required;
• minimum density 2200 kg/m³.
