CasoLine MF
CasoLine MF is a suspended ceiling system which can offer a monolithic appearance where required by using Gyproc plasterboards and Gyptone and Rigitone boards. It has very wide application in almost any internal drylining applications in commercial and residential settings. The system offers easy and simple installation since level change and bulkheads are easily created, access hatches are fully integrated and access panels can be easily accommodated, while there is enough space for the accommodation of services. The system offers a very durable solution and resilient suspension achieved by adding acoustic hangers. It offers substantial acoustic performance which includes sound absorption of 0.25 - 0.70 aw, sound insulation airborne 56 - 66 Rw dB and sound insulation impact of 68 - 50 Lnw dB.
Certain consideration should be taken into account upon installation, including:
- the cavity barriers if necessary can be formed by Gyproc FireLine or Glasroc F MULTIBOARD fixed to the metal or timber framing which is fixed to the structure;
- whenever installed in occupied buildings which are not enclosed, dry and glazed, and the humidity levels exceed 70% of relative humidity, installation of Gyproc plasterboard MR variants or Glasroc F MULTIBOARD should be considered;
- for achieving higher levels of sound absorption, some insulation can be added to the back of the ceiling;
- for achieving greater thermal performance, insulation can be added over the suspension grid;
- a pressure release system should be incorporated in order of preventing or reducing the risk of ceiling lift occurring cased by the air pressure changes within a dwelling;
- when developing partition specification, a consideration should be given to the lateral restraint whenever the metal stud partition is passing through the ceiling; when installing tall partitions exceeding the height of the floor to ceiling or ceiling to structural soffit precaution should be taken in order of avoiding the height influencing the system’s performance;
- when accommodating services, such as light fittings and access panels, every penetration should be carefully planned and positioned in order of avoiding such penetrations to affect the system’s integrity, fire resistance and acoustic performance.
