GypWall CURVE
GypWall CURVE is a system especially designed for curved wall and linings, offering a flexible and aesthetically pleasing design for any type of building. The system offers a minimum radius of 600mm, and can be easily and quickly shaped to radius while linings chosen are able to maintain continuity and meet specific requirements. It can be easily installed since curved timber plates are not necessary and the boards can normally be joined.
Certain consideration should be taken into account upon installation, including:
- all studs positions need to be determined at the design stage;
- if dealing with an uneven floor, a 38mm timber sole plate should be installed, while when installing a new screeded or concrete floor, installing a damp-proof membrane should be taken into account;
- in case the room layout includes structural steelwork, there might be a slight loss of acoustic performance through the steelwork;
- for flame or smoke closure minimum 12.5mm Gyproc plasterboard should be installed;
- electrical services should be installed in accordance with BS 7671 while in order of avoiding abrasion of the cables running through the metal frame, they should be protected with the conduit or other adequate mean of protection.
