The vertical studs are cut a nominal 18mm short of the floor to ceiling height and positioned at 600mm centres with a single skin of 12.5mm thick taper edge plasterboard screw fixed each side using BZP finished 25mm long drywall screws (code SA319 ) at 300mm centres. The vertical board joints are then obscured by means of taped and wet plaster filling across the butt joint taper section of the plasterboards to mask the screw fixings. The partition cavity was filled with SA Solutions’ 60mm thick Crown factory clad (code 880).

It is important that the type size and fitting detail for the foams and intumescent seals remains as tested. These products can often exhibit significantly different characteristics which could alter the performance obtained during the test and therefore they must not be considered interchangeable, irrespective of whether the individual product has been tested and dimensions are maintained.
The Seamless Abutments single layer plasterboard partitions solution also provides acoustic performance and also being an insulation solution with insulation board preventing conventional heat loss and energy efficient, exceeding fire tests of fire protection of 30 minutes, combined with fire doors for passive fire protection and both being rated systems. unlike most cavity walls or insulation products.
