Bugle head plasterboard screws or plasterboard nails of a sufficient length to allow for minimum 20 mm embedment into the substrate.
3. EXECUTION
3.1.1. Mechanical Fixing to Vertical Timber and Steel Framing / Battens – Insulated Plasterboard
Application
Location: To Interior of timber and steel framing / battens.
Fixing
Place framing / battens at a maximum of 600 mm centres and positioned horizontally at floor and ceiling level / horizontal joints to support theKingspanKooltherm® K18 Insulated Plasterboard.
Ensure the framing/battens will be wide enough to offer a minimum 20 mm support to all edges of the board.
Use plasterboard screws long enough to allow for a minimum 20 mm embedment into the stud or, alternatively, suitable galvanisedplasterboard nails, should be placed at 200 mm centres and notless than 10 mm from the edges of the board along the line of thestuds.
Drive fixings straight and embed heads just below the surface ofthe board. Care should be taken not to overdrive the fixing.
Screws used for plasterboard fixing must comply with AS3566.2 self-drilling screws complying with the building andconstruction industry corrosion resistance requirements.
3.1.2. Mechanical Fixing to Timber Joists or Rafters – Insulated Plasterboard
Application
Location: To underside of timber joists or rafters.
Fixing
A minimum of 20 mm bearing onto the timbers must beoffered at each sheet joint.
Sheets should be fixed using either drywall screws or suitablegalvanised plasterboard nails located at 150 mm centres.
Ensure fixings are located no less than 10 mm from the edgesof the sheet.
Fixings should be long enough to allow a minimum embedmentof 20 mm into the timber.
Fixings should be driven straight with the heads embedded justbelow the surface of the sheet. Care should be taken not tooverdrive the fixing.
3.1.3. Mechanical Fixing to Metal Furring Systems – Insulated Plasterboard
Application
Location: To interior of metal furring system.
Fixing
Provide a true and level base for theKingspanKooltherm® K18 Insulated Plasterboard by fixing the metal frame to the masonry or concrete wall in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Set the frame vertically at a maximum of 600 mm centres tocoincide with the board joints and the midpoint of the board.
Fix theKingspan Kooltherm® K18 Insulated Plasterboard to each metal framing section with self drilling plasterboard screws at 200 mm centres.
Drive fixings straight and embed heads just below the surfaceof the board. Care should be taken not to overdrive the fixing.
Cutting
General: Cutting should be carried out either by using a fine toothed saw, or by using a sharp knife to cut through the insulation and paper backing of the plasterboard, then snapping the board face down over a straight edge and cutting the paper facing of the plasterboard on the side. Ensure accurate trimming to achieve close butting joints and continuity of insulation.
