 Introduction
Floors and ceilings
British Gypsum offers a full range of specifications
from simple plasterboard ceilings through to a
range of gypsum-based, acoustic suspended
ceilings and lay-in grid systems. They cover all
building categories, including private and social
housing, apartments, healthcare, educational
facilities, recreational and industrial properties in
both new-build and refurbishment and can satisfy
the most demanding performance requirements.

When specifying floor and ceiling solutions, a number of

performance characteristics are normally used to determine the
required solution. Depending on the project or construction type,
these performance parameters could be set by minimum regulatory

Floors and ceilings

standards, or a client or customer requirement, for buildings that
offer the highest standards of performance and comfort.

Our quick-reference floors and ceilings system guide, below, allows

you to simply select the performance categories of interest and
identify the British Gypsum floor and ceiling systems which best

satisfy your project requirements.

Definition of traditional buildings.
A building or part of a building of a type constructed before or around 1919:
a) using construction techniques that were commonly in use before 1919; and
b) with permeable components, in a way that promotes the dissipation of moisture from the building fabric.

Good practice specification guidance

British Gypsum’s systems are designed and tested to meet
every performance requirement and are fully supported by
our SpecSure® lifetime system warranty.

This means that when our systems are installed following

our guidance they will achieve every performance claim we
make, and if they don’t then we’ll put it right. To maximise
the performance achieved on site, consider the following
good practice specification guidance:
— Consider flanking transmission at the design stage and
ensure construction detailing is specified to eliminate,
or at least to minimise, any downgrading of the acoustic
performance. The sound insulation values quoted in
system performance tables are laboratory values and
the practicalities of construction will mean that acoustic
performances measured in the laboratory will be difficult
to achieve on site
— Small openings such as gaps, cracks or holes will conduct
airborne sounds and can significantly reduce the sound
insulation of a construction. For optimum sound
insulation a construction must be airtight
— When designing spaces requiring separation by sound
insulating floors and ceilings abutting structural
steelwork, consideration should be given to the potential
loss of sound insulation performance through the
steelwork

 CasoLine curve installation overview
CasoLine curve

This is intended to be a basic description of how the system is built.

For detailed installation guidance refer to the British Gypsum Ceiling Installation Guide.

Gypframe MF6 Perimeter Channel is fixed
at wall positions to the line of the curve.
Timber fillets are installed where required to
pack out the channel.
Floors and ceilings
Suspension for a flat soffit
Gypframe MF12 Soffit Cleats are secured to
the soffit using appropriate fixings.
Gypframe FEA1 Steel Angle hangers are pre-
cut and secured to the soffit cleats.
Pre-formed Gypframe MF7C Curved Support
Channel is installed over the perimeter
channels and secured to the hangers.
Suspension from timber joists
Gypframe MF5 Ceiling sections are screw
fixed at right angles to the underside of the
pre-formed support channel to form the
secondary grid, with two British Gypsum
Wafer Head Jack-Point Screws per junction.
For convex curvature, insert a small section
of Gypframe MF7 Primary Support Channel to
provide a flat, positive fixing at the apex. Refer to
construction detail 7.

The procedure is as for a flat soffit except

that soffit cleats are not required. Hangers
are fixed directly to the side of the joists
using two fixings.
C06

Boards are fixed to the secondary grid to

form the curvature of the ceiling.

When using Gyptone or Rigitone products please refer to the current British Gypsum Ceiling Installation Guide.
