Planning the job
b22 GypLyner
1 Estimated construction time is 3m 2 / man hour
ready for finishing.
2 The depth of the cavity is determined by the
positioning of the fixing brackets. Allow for a stand-
off of 25mm - 75mm plus the lining thickness for GL2
Brackets, and 25mm - 125mm plus the lining
thickness for GL9 Brackets.These stand-offs are
sufficient to correct irregularities normally
encountered in solid backgrounds.
3 The drylining cavity must be closed otherwise
thermal performance will be downgraded. This is
achieved in practice if the abutting elements and the
background are well fitted, and junctions are sealed.
When the perimeter of the cavity is to be sealed by the
drylining contractor, apply a continuous fillet of
Gyproc Dri-Wall Adhesive or Gyproc Sealant to the
perimeter of the external wall and around any service
penetrations and openings. Make provision for
restricting air movement around the perimeter of
suspended timber floors, such as the provision of a
flexible seal between the floor and walls.
182
www.british-gypsum.bpb.com
4 Brackets should be positioned equidistant at max.
800mm vertical centres. Where there is a requirement
for increased rigidity, these support centres should be
reduced accordingly, although acoustic performance
may be downgraded. Contact British Gypsum for
guidance.
5 Where there is a requirement for a more durable
lining, 13mm DuraLine may be used in place of either
12.5mm or 15mm WallBoard, or 12.5mm FireLine,
giving equal performance.
6 Consider a damp proof membrane on new concrete
or screeded floors.
7 Use full height boards wherever possible if joints
are unavoidable endeavour to position them above
suspended ceilings or below access floor level.
8 Support horizontal board joints with Gypframe
Fixing T.
9 Select the right length of drywall screws (nominal
entry into metal of 10mm).
10 Form vertical cavity barriers, where specified, in
long runs of lining.

11 Consider skirting fixing mechanical or using
Gyproc Sealant.
12 Seal any small gaps, such as at the base of the
skirting, with Gyproc Sealant.
13 Install Gyproc Control Joints where specified.
14 Fixtures additional framing will be required to
support heavyweight items (e.g. sanitary ware).

Quantities
A detailed take-off calculator has been compiled for
estimating component usage for GypLyner wall linings
and is included overleaf. Note that quantities are approx.
and do not allow for wastage. Use instructions as follows:
1 Choose lining height and stud length, and read off
the number of studs required.
2 Read off the number of GL2/GL9 Brackets, GL3
Channel Connectors and GL8 Track required.
3 Choose board size and read off the number of
lengths of GFT1 Fixing T or GFS1 Fixing Strap required.
4 Read off the number of boards required.
5 Read off the number of screws required.
6 Add any additional items required.
NB Adjust quantities to suit the number of m2 specified.

Bend bracket legs forward and fix each
leg to the channel using a Gypframe
Wafer Head Drywall Screw. Insert screw
through the hole in the bracket nearest to
the back of the channel.
NB Avoid exerting any backwards or
forwards pressure on the channels when
screw-fixing the brackets, otherwise a
straight and true lining surface may not
be achieved.
Bend back protruding bracket legs to
sit clear of the channel face.
Internal angles
Position a GL1 Lining Channel tight

support for the lining.
Bend one bracket leg across the face of

Screws.
Lightly butt boards, inserting screws
not closer than 10mm from bound edges
and 13mm from cut edges.
NB Select the appropriate length of

Fix Gyproc edge bead to the perimeter
of the window frame to provide restraint

Cut reveal and soffit boards to width,
locate into the perimeter edge bead and

Fix boards to complete drylining at the
opening.
Where door openings occur in the run
of lining, cut board around the opening
to avoid a joint directly in line with door
jambs.

Insulation
If Isowool insulation is specified, install
progressively as boarding proceeds.
Services
The drylining cavity facilitates the
incorporation of services. Fix pipes and
conduits in position before installing the
framing.
NB The insulating backing of Gyproc
thermal laminates should not be chased
to accommodate services. PVC covered
cables must not come into contact with
polystyrene insulation. Use suitable
isolation methods (conduit or capping). 189
