01827 213201 Website

Application

  • Designed to form an opening within British Gypsum twin-frame metal stud partitions.
  • All materials and fixings are installed off site in a quality-controlled environment and delivered safely to site.
  • See project-specific British Gypsum detailing for specified partitioning systems for guidelines on site installation.

Description

Three sided, flat-packed component designed to form an opening within British Gypsum twin-frame metal stud partitions enabling penetration of services through the partition to reach adjoining spaces. Accommodates a range of bespoke opening sizes with allowance for building deflection to form a specified opening flush to the underside of the soffit.


Fabricated in an offsite environment to maximize safety and ensure high levels of quality and compliance with associated regulatory requirements and manufacturer warranties. Complies with all thermal and acoustic requirements as a critical component of the extensive range of British Gypsum partitioning systems whilst providing high levels of protection against fire for periods of up to 120 minutes in standard applications.


Features and benefits:

  • Full penetration design using third-party fire stopping material should also reference BS EN 1366-3 to properly assess penetration fire resistance properties in addition to any basic test data provided by British Gypsum to BS EN 1364-1.
  • Metal sections all meet BS EN14195:2014 requirements for metal framing components for gypsum board systems.
  • Installation in accordance with British Gypsum recommendations using appropriate third-party BS EN 1366-3 compliant fire stopping material should achieve full fire rating performance for any specified British Gypsum partitioning system.
  • Fire testing of full partitioning systems conducted according to BS EN1364-1:1999 where possible for twin-stud systems.
  • Gypframe metal channels are 100% recyclable (European Waste Catalogue code is 12 01 01).
  • Gypsum based components can be fully recycled provided they are not contaminated by non-gypsum materials.
  • Component complies with British Gypsum SpecSure® warranty verifying that approved partitioning systems will perform as specified upon installation and will continue to do so throughout the design life of the building.
