British Gypsum Gypframe GA4 Steel Angle (pack of 10)

British Gypsum Gypframe GA4 Steel Angle is a specially designed product which provides additional support, strength, and protection to ceiling, wall and encasement framing constructions.

The product can be used in various systems, including:

• CasoLine CURVE is a lightweight system, applicable to both convex and concave structures in order of achieving the desired radius. It can be simply installed to any type of building, since there is no board pre-wetting needed and traditional jointing methods are applied. When the required radius is pre-determined, some factors including the board joints, the board characteristics, the curve length and the support centers should be taken into consideration;
• CasoLine MF is a suspended ceiling system providing monolithic appearance, especially if combined with Gyptone and Rigitone boards or Gyproc plasterboards, applicable to different kinds of residential and commercial applications. The system provides suspension from timber and concrete floors, with the option of resilient suspension provided by the acoustic hangers, allowing simple accommodation of access panels and hatches and easy installation if bulkheads. The system is applicable to dry and enclosed construction, so in case the humidity and moisture level it is recommended to use Gyproc plasterboard MR variants;
• Cavity fire barriers which are in accordance with the applicable regulation, Approved Document B Metal or timber frame, can be pre-formed or built in-situ and can withstand up to 60 minutes of fire integrity. When installed, special care must be given to the distance between the barriers, but also the closure of the cavities at every junction and cavity within the element, whereas the barriers must maintain their effectiveness during the life span of the structure. Also, fire resistance should be maintained throughout the entire structure which is provided by fitting the barriers tightly to the construction or by using adequate fire-stopping materials;
• FireCase is a non-combustible system offering high levels of fire protection to structural steel columns and beams (up to 120 minutes of fire resistance), BBA approved, yet very easy to install. The system provides for the partitions and wall linings to be fixed directly onto the Glasroc F FIRECASE cladding if certain conditions are met including the estimated period of fire resistance (min 60 minutes) and no special loading and pressure resistance requirements;
• FireWall provides up to 240 minutes of fire resistance, while requiring minimal wall thickness, especially designed to meet the requirements of insurance companies in the words of fire protection, why it is especially applicable to warehouses, plant rooms and data storages. Special care should be given to any insulation system installed in order of preventing it to anyhow affect the performance of the system, which also goes for any openings is the wall which are generally not required with the FireWall system. Finally, it is advisable that a damp proof membranes are installed if dealing with a new concrete screeded floor;
• GypLyner ENCASE  is a system especially used to provide fire resistance and protection to beam and column sections (flange thickness 6mm-28mm), portal frames, joint sections, with very wide application to any building type whenever structural steel encasements are necessary. It provides lightweight support which is very easy and quickly installed. Prior to installation, it is advised to determine the thickness of the cladding, following the prescribed procedure including determining whether the protection is required for three or four section sides, the fire resistance period and choosing the board type;
• GypLyner IWL, providing fire protection and fire resistance, used for upgrading both thermal and sound performance of masonry walls, designed to correspond to BS 5234 standards. The system can increase the sound and thermal insulation of both new or existing walls, only if the elements are well fitted to the background, junctions properly sealed and water penetration and damp issues taken care of by applying recommended measures;
• GypWall AUDIO is a system especially designed to provide high sound performance, why is often used in cinemas, theatres and music rooms, also providing a certain level of fire resistance (up to 120 minutes) capable to offer protection to structural steel within the cavity, yet very lightweight in comparison to the alternatives;
• GypWall CLASSIC is a lightweight system which provides a 30-120 minutes of fire resistance, has substantial sound insulation performance, also protecting the metal framework from warping, rotting and twisting. The system can be have a number of different applications only if the position of the fixings and the installation are pre-planed and determined;
• GypWall QUIET SF whose considerable acoustic performance makes it applicable to separating walls (between apartments, for example), also providing fire resistance of 60-120 minutes. For optimal acoustic performance, it is recommended that all air paths are properly sealed;
• GypWall RAPID dB PLUS internal wall system incorporating Gyproc SoundBloc RAPID linings, providing not only acoustic insulation but also impact and fire resistance, in accordance with the applicable Building Regulations. The system includes two installation options with noggins (900mm stud framing) and without noggins (450mm stud frames) which are both very easy to install, achieving the Rw value of 40dB. The system is particularly applicable to internal wall constructions in residential dwellings, whereas special attention should be given to determining the position of services in the frame erection stage and the potential loss of acoustic insulation performance of the system through structural steelwork;
• GypWall SECURE system including a lightweight security wall in accordance with the BS 5234, offering not more than 70mm wall thickness, some acoustic insulation, fire resistance and the possibility to install an additional steel sheet for added safety. The on-sight testing has shown that the system provides substantial protection from attacks using hand tools (the wall could not have been breached for app 10 minutes) and a good barrier when using power tools. It has wide application including pharmacy and data storage rooms or cash desks;
• GypWall STAGGERED has a wide application in both commercial and residential buildings such as hospitals, schools, offices, shops etc all due to increased sound insulation properties at a minimal partition width, in conformity with the BS 5234 and providing up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. When installing, it is important that the linings are not separated by a bridge created from the fixtures and services;
• ShaftWall is a lightweight system which can be installed in the early construction phase, especially applicable to areas with limited access, providing a fire-protective structure for the inner elements. It is designed to meet air pressure and deflection requirements, but also the boundary requirements prescribed by the applicable Approved Document B of the Building Regulations. The system can be found in stairwells, service ducts and risers and lift shafts, providing a protective enclosure.

Gypframe GA4 Steel Angle is designed to be used in ceiling, wall and encasement framing constructions.

The product is in compliance with the:

• European Standard EN 14195
