GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Non-Fire
Rated
Fire
Rated
Jointing of MultiShield is not required due to the overlying breathable wall wrap
and external cladding.
Use approved re rated penetration details for systems that use the internal
non-re rated plasterboard wall lining to maintain the FRL.
Pack any gaps between the top of the wall and the underside of the roof covering
with mineral bre or other suitable re resisting material. This maintains the re
rating of the system. [Refer to mineral bre manufacturers specications for minimum
widths required]
FRAMING
Non-Fire
Rated
Fire
Rated
For load bearing walls use timber studs with minimum dimensions 70x45mm
or 90x35mm.
208
PLASTERBOARD LAYOUT
Fire
Rated
Alternate from one side of the wall to the other when xing the plasterboard sheets.
Vertical joints must be 200mm minimum from the edge of any opening such as
windows and doorways to minimise cracking at the joints.
Stagger butt joints by 600mm minimum on adjoining sheets, between layers and on
opposite sides of the wall.
Non-Fire
Rated
Horizontal Layout
Stagger butt joints by 600mm minimum on adjoining sheets, between layers and on
opposite sides of the wall.
Vertical Layout
209
PLASTERBOARD FIXING
Non-Fire
Rated
Drive fasteners to just below the sheet surface, taking care not to break the paper
linerboard.
Laminating screws can be used to x butt joints in the second and third layer.
Fire
Rated
Apply MastaGrip daubs 200mm minimum from screws and plasterboard edges.
