Shaftwall - GSW Series
System Description:
EL-KHAYYAT Shaftwall lining solutions - are generally used as liners for various types of building shafts and/or can be used as wall liner where accessibility to work is at one side only. It is mostly used as fire rated systems GSW Series - comprises of J-tracks, CH and E-studs as the metal structure elements, with MRFW-CB (core boards) slide into the H part of the CH studs facing the shaft and FW or MRFW boards screw fixed to the other side of the CH facing the corridor.
Low weight in comparison to masonry walls of comparable thickness
- Enhances saving in structural design
- Suitable for high rise buildings
Quick and Easy to install
- Cost effective
- Reduced Project completion time
Performance:
Fire protection - up to 2 hrs
Sound Insulation - up to 52 dB using Glasswool Insulation
Enhancement of fire & acoustic performance can be achieved by increasing the number of layers of plasterboards Filling the cavity with insulation enhances the acoustic performance.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Gypsum Plasterboard | Based on the performance requirement, the plasterboard needs to be selected - FW for enhanced fire resistance MRFW for humid & aerated area requiring enhanced fire resistance applications. |
| J-Tracks | Horizontal member of metal structure with J-deflection tracks(50/75) the top and J-tracks(25/57) at the bottom |
| CH and E Studs | Vertical member of metal structure – with E studs at end positions close to the wall and CH studs at the intermediate positions |
| Anchors | Used for fixing the tracks to the slabs and floor respectively |
| Drywall screws | Used for screw fixing the boards to the metal structures; available as self tapping or self drilling |
| Joint tape and Filler | Used to get a even smooth and homogenous surface at the joints |
| Sealant | Applied at the abutment areas, to achieve the necessary fire and acoustic performance |
| Insulation | Used as cavity infill to enhance sound insulation |
| Fixing channel/ Noggins | Used as backing for horizontal edge cut joints in fire rated partitions |
* Metal thickness will be determined by the partition height, deflection limit and lateral pressures.
