Introduction
WHAT IS GYPSUM BOARD?
Gypsum board is the generic name for a family of panel products that consist of a noncombustible core, composed primarily of gypsum,
and a paper surfacing on the face, back and long edges. Gypsum board is one of several building materials covered by the umbrella term
“gypsum panel products.” All gypsum panel products contain gypsum cores; however, they can be faced with a variety of different materials,
including paper and fiberglass mats.

Gypsum board is often called drywall, wallboard, or plasterboard. It differs from other panel-type building products, such as plywood,
hardboard, and fiberboard, because of its noncombustible core and paper faces. When joints and fastener heads are covered with a joint
compound system, gypsum wall board creates a continuous surface suitable for most types of interior decoration.

Ease of installation
Knauf Gypsum board building systems are easy to install for several reasons. Gypsum board panels are relatively large compared to other
materials. They come in 48 Inch wide sheets and various lengths, so they quickly cover large wall and ceiling areas. Knauf Gypsum board
assemblies require only a few tools for their construction. Gypsum board can be cut with either a utility knife or a variety of saws, and it can
be attached using the Knauf drywall TN or TB screws, it can also be adhesively attached to many substrates. Gypsum board is a lightweight
material. Two workers can easily handle most panels and cover large areas in very short time periods. Gypsum board is easily finished using
either a few hand tools or relatively modest machines. Gypsum board installers can quickly learn most application techniques in a few hours.

Durability
Knauf Gypsum board is used to construct strong, high quality walls and ceilings that offer excellent dimensional stability and
durability. Surfaces created using gypsum board are easily decorated and refinished.

Economy
Knauf Gypsum board is readily available and easy to apply. It is an inexpensive wall surfacing material that provides a fire
resistant interior finish. Gypsum board building systems can generally be installed at significantly lower labor costs than most
alternate systems.

Versatility
Knauf Gypsum board satisfies a wide range of architectural requirements for design. Ease of application, performance, ease
of repair, availability, and its adaptability to all forms of decoration combine to make gypsum board unmatched by any other
surfacing product.

SYSTEM / PRODUCT TESTING AND PERFORMANCE

TYPE X GYPSUM BOARD


ASTM C 1396 describes two types of gypsum board- regular and type X - each providing a different degree of fire resistance.
Type X (special fire-resistant) gypsum board, when tested in accordance with Test Methods E 119, shall provide the following minimum fire
resistance for the assemblies described: One hour for a 5⁄8-in. [15.9-mm] thickness applied to a partition in a single-layer application on each
side of 3 5⁄8-in. [92-mm] deep non-loadbearing galvanized steel studs complying with Specification C645, spaced 24 in. [610 mm] on center.
The 5⁄8-in. [15.9-mm] thick gypsum board 48 in. [1220mm] wide shall be attached using 1-in. [25-mm] long drywall screws spaced 8 in.
[203 mm] on center along the edges and ends, and 12 in. [304 mm] along intermediate studs. All joints shall be oriented parallel to and
located over studs and staggered on opposite sides of the assembly.

Two hours for a 1⁄2-in. [12.7-mm] thickness applied to a partition in a double-layer application on each side of 2 1⁄2-in. [64-mm] deep
non-loadbearing galvanized steel studs complying with Specification C 645, spaced 24 in. [610 mm] on center. The 48-in. [1220-mm] wide
base layer shall be attached using 1-in. [25-mm] long drywall screws spaced 12 in. [304 mm] on center along board edges, ends, and along
intermediate studs. Joints shall be oriented parallel to and located over studs and staggered on opposite sides of the assembly.
The 48-in. [1220-m] wide face layer shall be attached using 1 5⁄8-in. [41-mm] long drywall screws spaced 12 in. [304 mm] along board
edges, ends, and along intermediate studs. Joints shall be oriented parallel to and located over studs, offset 24 in. [610 mm] from the base
layer joints, and staggered on opposite sides of the assembly.

Type X Gypsum boards manufactured by Knauf LLC are identified as GW-TX, GB-WRTX, coreboard, GB-WR Mold, These boards are all
certified and listed by Intertek. See via website at https:whdirectory.intertek.com

FIRE RESISTANCE TESTS


All fire-resistance classifications described in this Manual are derived from full-scale fire tests conducted in accordance with the requirements
of ASTM E 119 (as amended and in effect on the date of the test) by recognized independent laboratories. Fire-resistance classifications are
the results of tests conducted on systems made up of specific materials put together in a specified manner. There are a number of nationally
recognized laboratories capable of conducting tests to establish fire resistance
classifications according to the procedures outlined in ASTM E 119. The conditions 2400
under which tests are conducted are thoroughly detailed and the fire-resistance 1200
classification is established as the time at which there is excessive temperature rise,
passage of flame, or structural collapse. In addition, failure may result because of 2000
1000
penetration by the pressurized hose stream required in the fire test procedure for
walls. With reference to all tested systems, ASTM E 119 states: It is the intent that 1600
Temperature, deg. C
Temperature, deg. F

classifications shall register performance during the period of exposure and shall not be 800
construed as having determined suitability for use after fire exposure. Comprehensive
1200
research by fire protection experts has determined the average combustible content 600
normally present within any given occupancy. In addition, evacuation times, the time
required for the contents to be consumed by fire, and the resulting temperature rise 800 400
have been quantified. Fire-resistance requirements are established accordingly in
building codes and similar regulations. In ASTM E 119 fire tests, wall, ceiling, column, 400 200
and beam systems are exposed in a furnace which reaches the indicated average
temperatures at the time stated in the standard time-temperature curve (Figure 1) and
0 0
Appendix X1 of ASTM E119. The unexposed surface of all systems refers to the
0 2 4 6 8
surface away from the fire during a test. The exposed surface refers to the surface Time, hr
facing the fire.

SOUND INSULATION
The first essential for airborne sound insulation using any system is to close off air leaks and/or flanking paths by which noise can go through
or around the system. Small cracks or holes will increase the sound transmission at the higher frequencies. This can have a
detrimental effect on the overall acoustical performance and the STC, particularly for higher rated systems. Failure to observe special
construction and design precautions can reduce the effectiveness of the best planned sound control methods. Systems shall be airtight.
Recessed wall fixtures, such as medicine cabinets or electrical, telephone, television, and intercom outlets, that penetrate the gypsum board
shall not be located back-to-back or in the same stud cavity. Any opening for fixtures or pipes shall be cut to the proper size and sealed.
The entire perimeter of a sound insulating system shall be made airtight to prevent sound flanking. Flexible sealant or an acoustical gasket
shall be used to seal between the STC rated system and all dissimilar surfaces and also between the system and similar surfaces where
perimeter relief is required.

SOUND TRANSMISSION LOSS TESTS


ASTM E 90, Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of Airborne Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions, is the
procedure for measuring the sound transmission loss (STL) in a laboratory. The STL is the difference between the sound energy
(sound pressure level) in a source room and a receiving room when the two rooms are separated by the system being tested.
ASTM E 336, Standard Test Method for Measurement of Airborne Sound Insulation in Buildings, is the procedure to determine the field
sound transmission loss (FSTL) between two rooms under field conditions. A system’s overall effectiveness in resisting the transmission of
airborne sound, whether it is a wall, partition, or floor-ceiling, is reported as a single number derived from an analysis of the STL or FSTL
curve. This rating is the Sound transmission Class (STC) or Field Sound Transmission Class (FSTC).

* Acoustic values given for the systems within this manual are based on Marshall Day prediction.

SYSTEMS OVERVIEW
SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO MEET BUILDING REQUIREMENTS
Knauf offers systems for a large variety of building requirements, all fully complying to ASTM standards.

n Fire protection n Sound insulation n High partitions


n Moisture Resistance n Heavy duty walls n Aesthetics

These systems are composed of gypsum boards and metal framing, joint compounds and other materials such as joint tapes, sealants,
screws and insulation.
The products alone do not provide performance, the performance is given by the complete assembled system. System performance is
achieved on following the correct installation details such as stud spacing and fixing centers, as well as using the nominated components
such as gypsum boards, compounds, studs and insulation. The smallest of details such as the sealing of penetrations can have a large
effect on the overall system performance.
Variations in construction or materials may reduce a system’s fire and acoustic rating, structural capacity or other aspects of performance.

SHAFTWALL
Knauf Shaftwall is our innovative system to form enclosures
around service and lift shafts whilst working from one side.
The unique Knauf ‘C-T’ Stud makes this possible with
a minimum of components.

32
SHAFTWALL
The Knauf Shaft wall system is designed for use within elevator shafts and
stairwell areas that prove to be a vital life safety link in multi-story buildings.
These walls act as the main fire protection barrier against fire, they help to
prevent fire entering the lift shaft and spreading rapidly from floor to floor.

Shaft wall Systems provide one or two hour fire resistance ratings in
non-load bearing configurations. The system is designed to withstand the
continuous surge of air pressure caused by fast moving elevators. These
systems are constructed using the Knauf CT and J-Track channels that
support the 1” (25.4mm) Type X core board and both the ½” (12.7mm) and
5/8” (15.9mm) Type X gypsum boards.

ELIMINATE THE NEED TO BUILD EXTENSIVE SCAFFOLDING.


The 610 mm wide Type X Core board makes installation fast & easy as it
friction fits within the CT Stud and automatically provides a 24” (610 mm)
o.c spacing ready for the cladding of the Type X gypsum board on the outer
face. Shaft walls can be erected from one side, eliminating the need to build
extensive scaffolding.

Shaftwall Partitions
Knauf Shaftwall is perfect for all situations where
access from one side is restricted, giving a high fire
performance whilst being simple to construct.

Joint treatment
n Board surface should be cleaned of materials such as dust, oil etc.
n Filling and covering of joints should only take place after the boards have been allowed to
rest in the given humidity and temperature zones, and no more longitudinal changes can
be expected, i.e. expansion or contraction.
n In case of mastic asphalt screed, fill in joints after screed has been applied.
n First coat of Knauf Joint filler should be applied with tools of sufficient width to extend a
minimum 50 mm beyond both sides of the centre of the joint (100 mm width).
n Knauf Joint Tape should be embedded into the joint filler to reinforce the joint between two
gypsum boards
n Once the first coat has dried, a second coat of Knauf Joint filler should be applied with

100 mm width on both sides of the centre of the joint tape (200 mm width).
01/02/2015 03:23:18 PM

n A very thin third coat of Knauf Joint filler should be applied with a minimum width no less
than 150 mm beyond both sides of the centre of the joint tape (300 mm width).
n Once third coat has dried, surface should be sanded and smoothed
n Knauf Corner Bead should be used for exterior corner reinforcements
n Alternatively Knauf Alux Corner Tape can be used to reinforce interior or exterior corners

Pre-Treatment
Before further linings (wallpaper) are applied, the surface must be free of dust and pretreated according to lining manufacturer.

Suitable coatings and linings


Wallpaper (paper, non woven, textile and synthetic wallpapers)
Ceramic tiles*, plasters (full surface thin plaster coatings)
Coatings (emulsion based paints, emulsion based silicate paints)

Unsuitable coatings
Alkaline coats such as lime based paints, silicate based paint and pure silicate paints are not suitable to be applied on gypsum boards.
Gypsum board paper surfaces that have constantly been exposed to light without any protection can develop yellowing agents that show
up despite a coat of paint. Therefore, a trial coat is recommended that will extend across several boards including all joints. Yellowing can,
however, be successfully avoided only by using a special shielding primer.
