Introduction to
The Red Book
The Red Book Fire & Acoustic Design Guide provides a

ready reference to the performance of an extensive range of
CSR Gyprock and Cemintel fire and acoustic systems.
Over the last 60 years, CSR has developed effective,
practical and cost effective fire and acoustic systems for
most applications. Fire, acoustic and structural testing
has been carried out for all plasterboard and fibre cement
products, as well as those of CSR Bradford Insulation,
CSR Hebel and Rondo Building Products. To complement
this extensive testing program, CSR has obtained certified
assessments from appropriate authorities on the likely
performance of some systems. These assessments are
based on test results and expert opinion.
CSR Gyprock and Cemintel fire rated systems have been
tested or assessed to AS1530.4 : 1997 or 2005 at approved
testing laboratories.
CSR has developed systems with Fire Resistance
Levels (FRL) up to /180/180 (3 hours). The systems and
performance specifications detailed in this manual are
guaranteed only for the construction specified. Any variation
or substitution of materials or assembly requirements, or
any compromise in assembly may result in failure under
critical conditions. It is recommended that only accredited
plasterboard fixers install fire rated systems.
CSR Gyprock and Cemintel are continuously developing
products, which may result in changes to product
specifications, range and performance. The systems and
products in this Fire and Acoustic Design Guide are current
at the publication date.
Gyprock plasterboard lining products are manufactured
to AS2588 - Gypsum Plasterboard, and Cemintel fibre
cement products are made to AS2908.2 - Cellulose Cement
Products.

Insulation Materials
Wall System Thermal Performance
CSR Fire and Acoustic Systems incorporate CSR Bradford

glasswool and rockwool insulation. These products
have undergone significant acoustic testing and have
a proven track record of performance and durability in
service. Additional information on CSR Bradford Insulation
materials is available by telephoning CSR Bradford on
1300 850 305.
Timber and steel stud external walls in this manual include

thermal ratings expressed as Rt(win) and Rt(sum), to represent
Total R-values for the Winter and Summer design conditions
as required by the BCA.
Although insulation materials are often specified for

thermal resistance, they can contribute significantly to the
acoustic performance of wall and ceiling systems. CSR
only recommends materials that have been tested for fire
and acoustic applications, have proven durability, and are
supported by their manufacturer for these applications.
Should other insulation materials be used, the manufacturer
of those materials must verify the performance of the
complete system, CSR will not support the performance of
substitute materials.
Acoustic Polyester insulation manufactured by Tontine and
Autex have been tested in acoustic applications by the
manufacturer and are specifically made for that purpose. CSR
accepts the use of Tontine and Autex Polyester insulation.
The Total R-values presented are based on assessments

c a r r i e d o u t i n a c c o rd a n c e w i t h t h e m e t h o d s o f
AS/NZS4859.1 amdt 1:2006 (Materials for thermal
insulation of buildings - Part 1: General criteria and technical
provisions). Any included bulk insulation is a CSR Bradford
product that has a material R-Value compliant with the
standard, and building elements have thermal values sourced
from the AIRAH handbook. No allowance has been made
for thermal bridging from the structural members. Thermal
performances quoted are based on an assessment through
the insulation path.
The contribution to Total R-values depends on installation,
workmanship and environmental conditions and it is
assumed that cavities that are ventilated.

of Building Construction.
This standard gives the test method and criteria of failure for
the various elements of construction such as partition walls,
floor/ceilings and roof/ceilings.
The common regulatory FRL requirements are:

Non-Loadbearing

For Example: /120/120.
The specimen assemblies are built into the test furnace

and subjected to furnace temperatures in accordance with
AS1530.4 Standard Time vs Temperature Curve.
The dash indicates no requirement for Structural

Adequacy, which applies to all non-loadbearing systems.

The second 120 indicates Insulation for 120 minutes.

For any specified FRL, a system having equal or higher

multiple FRLs stated. FRLs expressed as /y/z relate to
non-loadbearing walls; FRLs expressed as x/y/z relate to
loadbearing walls; or FRLs expressed as x/y/z* relate to walls
with additional design limits.

TIME (minutes)
how the Specimen is Assessed

The test specimen is heated in the prescribed manner until
the failure criteria has been reached, or is terminated by
agreement between parties.
Assessment criteria are represented by three performance
measurements known as Fire Resistance Levels (FRL).
This requires the ceiling to provide adequate thermal

insulation to prevent combustibles in a roof/ceiling or floor/
ceiling cavity from igniting for the specified time.
The Building Code of Australia requirement for some ceiling
systems is to provide Resistance to the Incipient Spread of
Fire (RISF), into the space above itself, for not less than 60
minutes. Systems that meet this requirement are indicated
in the system tables.
Structural Adequacy
Fire hazard Properties
Failure occurs when the specimen collapses under load.
Fire hazard properties of wall and ceiling linings in some

classes of building are specified by the BCA. Refer to Table
A11 for fire hazard properties of CSR products.
Integrity
Failure occurs when the specimen develops cracks or
openings through which flames or hot gases can pass.
Insulation
Smoke Proof Walls
Failure occurs when the average temperature of the

unexposed surface of the specimen increases by more than
140C above the initial temperature, or the temperature at
any point of the unexposed surface increases by more than
180C above the initial temperature.
Smoke proof walls are required in some Class 9a

buildings, and they must be built from non-combustible
materials where they do not require an FRL. Steel framed
wall systems clad with Gyprock Plasterboard CD
(eg. CSR 010) may be used.
The test performance of the specimen is expressed as a Fire

Resistance Level, which indicates the number of minutes for
which the specimen fulfils the requirements of the three fire
test criteria. These numbers are then rounded down to the
nearest regulatory requirement.
Fire rated smoke proof walls should be selected from the

steel framed systems (refer to Section B) with an appropriate
FRL.
All systems in this guide with a stated FRL have been

assessed by Registered Testing Authorities, including CSIRO,
BRANZ and Exova Warrington Fire.
The Red Book
Smoke proof walls required for Class 9c buildings may use

steel or timber framing with linings of 13mm Gyprock
Plasterboard CD or CeminSeal Wallboard. Refer to systems
CSR 010, 654 and 310.
A17
Lining Design
There are a number of methods for ensuring that plasterboard
linings meet end user expectations. For best results, these
should be considered in the planning stages of a project and
be clearly set out in specifications and contract documents.
It is noted in the plasterboard standard AS/NZS2589.1
Gypsum linings Application and Finishing that it is good
practice to construct a reference area of decorated work
to aid in judging quality of walls and ceilings throughout a
project.
Levels of Finish
A Level of Finish sets out the minimum specifications for
installation processes from framing preparation to lining
decoration. The levels are defined in AS/NZS 2589.1, and are
intended to provide builders, installers and their customers
with defined methods and practices necessary to meet the
customers expectations in terms of the Level of Finish.
It is essential to determine the level of finish required before
the frame construction begins, as specific tolerances are
required for frame alignment as well as for plasterboard fixing
and finishing for each of the levels of finish. Unless these
requirements are met throughout construction, it may not be
possible to attain the desired finish level without extensive
corrective measures.
In general, walls and ceilings should be specified to Level

4 Finish unless a higher or lower level of finish is required.
Complete details for a Level 4 Finish are set out in Gyprock
Residential Installation Guide No. GYP 547.
A Level 5 Finish should be used wherever gloss or semi-gloss
paints are to be used, where paint is mid or dark coloured, or
where critical light conditions occur such as from windows,
skylights, or silhouette and spot lighting.
Installation is similar to Level 4 Finish with the addition of
a skim coat which is used to remove differential surface
textures and porosity. Skim coating refers to a thin finish
coat, rolled, trowelled or airless sprayed and then possibly
sanded, to achieve a smooth and even finish. It is normally
less than 1mm in thickness and is applied over the entire
surface to fill imperfections in the joint work, smooth the
paper texture and provide a uniform surface for decorating.
Critical Light
The impression of flatness of plasterboard is influenced by
factors such as the accuracy of the substrate, the fixing
methods, joint formation and finishing textures. A surface
that appears perfectly flat in one lighting condition can
seem uneven in another. Any imperfection or undulation in
a completed lining installation can become obvious under
critical or glancing light, where the incident light from an
artificial or natural source is nearly parallel to the surface.

To minimise the effect of critical lighting from artificial lighting

sources:
Locate fluorescent lights about 450mm below the ceiling
to give a more even distribution of light.
Use more lights at regular spacings to give an even,
diffused light.
Recess light fittings into a ceiling.
Allow a generous angle of incidence to the surface for
feature lighting, such as spotlights, to minimise the
highlighting of imperfections.
Do not use up-lights or unshaded light sources close to a
wall or ceiling.
To minimise natural lighting problems, particularly from direct
sunlight:
Avoid placing windows immediately adjacent to the end
of a wall.
Do not take window glazing up to ceiling level.
Provide sun shades over windows.
FIG A5: TYPICAL GLANCING LIGhT SITuATIoNS
Applied Finish Specification

Finishes applied to plasterboard surfaces can have a
significant effect on the perceived quality of the installation,
particularly where critical lighting conditions exist. The
difference in texture and absorption characteristics between
the body of the sheet and joints may show through thin and
low quality paint coatings. Recommended paint systems
consist of one coat of a plasterboard sealer followed by two
coats of finishing paint.
Always follow the manufacturers instructions for application
and recoating. For best results, specify that coatings are
applied with a roller to achieve a full even coat and a light,
uniform texture over the entire surface.
General rules when specifying an applied finish are:
Textured or heavy patterned finishes tend to hide
imperfections.
Matt finishes minimise imperfection visibility.
Semi-gloss and gloss finishes highlight imperfections.
Light colours are less likely to show imperfections and
impact damage. They are also more effective at diffusing
light and reducing shadow effects, particularly in smaller
rooms.
Gloss paints tend to highlight paint application variations
(e.g. where a good wet edge has not been maintained
when painting).
Paint applied with a longer pile roller tends to mask
imperfections better than those applied with a short pile
roller.

Resistance to Impact
Curved Walls and Ceilings
Wall lining materials may be selected for properties relating

to resistance to damage. These properties include bending
strength (resistance to static load), soft body impact
resistance (resistance to damage from people impact,
measured with a swung sand bag), and surface damage
resistance (resistance to indent from small, solid objects).
Refer to Table A12 for a selection of linings and relative
performance for the various properties.
Gyprock plasterboard can be curved for installation

on walls and ceilings that have appropriately designed
framing. Maximum frame spacing for curved walls is reduced
compared to straight walls, and can be found in the relevant
installation manuals.

Acoustics
Building acoustics can be separated into sound absorption
and sound transmission.
Sound absorption relates to control of sound that is generated
within a room and how it affects people in that room.
Sound transmission relates to sound that passes through a
dividing element (direct sound, controlled by the elements
sound insulation), and through the surrounding structure
(indirect or flanking transmission).
Methods of controlling noise in buildings can be based on
systems, structure and lining materials and their absorption
and transmission properties.
CSR recommends that an acoustic engineer be consulted
for all projects where acoustics are important.
Flanking Transmission
Sound Impact Ratings

The BCA has performance requirements relating to sound
impact for floors and some walls.
For floors, this is specified as a maximum value such as:
Lnw+CI = 62. Note that lower values of Lnw+CI indicates
better acoustic impact performance. Queensland and
Northern Territory have no requirements for impact rating
of floors.
Walls may be required to meet the definition of Discontinuous
Construction. This means that wall leaves must be separated
by at least 20mm and no mechanical connection is permitted,
except that masonry may have resilient ties.
Systems that meet this specification are noted in the
appropriate system specifications.
FIG A8: CoMMoN FLANkING TRANSMISSIoN PAThS
1. Ceiling plenums, floors, walls.
2. Poor seals between structural
elements and around service
penetrations.
3. External air-borne paths.
Flanking sounds reach adjoining areas by indirect paths,

rather than through the dividing element. The perimeter
junction of walls, floors and ceilings that surround the
dividing element are the main paths for flanking transmission.
Other paths include open windows, ducts, doorways and
suspended ceilings.
Noise sources that have a high degree of low frequency
noise such as traffic, aircraft and DVD sound systems have
potential for transmission through the building structure.
Transmission of this type of noise follows structural load
paths and can be controlled by breaking these load paths
or providing complete separation of the structure.
4. Heating and ventilation ducting.

5. Rigid plumbing connections and
penetrations.

Noise sources that generate a high amount of mid and

high frequency noise, such as services and speech, tend to
transmit via air paths and direct transmission in lightweight
construction.
Typical problem areas for this type of transmission include
doors and door frames, glazing, suspended ceiling cavities
and ductwork. Practical methods for addressing common
situations within buildings can be seen in Section Z.

Building
Acoustics in
Practice
System Performance
The Rw, Rw + Ctr and Ln,w + CI values in this manual refer to
expected results of a laboratory test on an element.
Extensive testing over many years has been carried out
by CSR at laboratories including the Commonwealth
Experimental Building Station (later CSIRO) at North Ryde
NSW, National Acoustic Laboratory at Lindfield NSW, CSIRO
Laboratories at Highett, Victoria and even, up to 1978, at
our own NATA registered laboratory. Extensive development
testing has been carried out at Rintoul Laboratories, Seven
Hills NSW since 1995, and some of the systems subsequently
validated at other laboratories.
Performance values provided by PKA Acoustic Consulting
use a prediction system based on these tests, and the
system has been updated to include the most current CSR
sponsored testing. The prediction system has been calibrated
against the round robin European test of a standard
plasterboard wall in 24 European acoustic laboratories, and
has successfully predicted the performance of a calibration
wall for an acoustic laboratory in Brisbane.
As testing from different laboratories can vary (the European
24 laboratory test of the standard plasterboard wall was
Rw47 to Rw52), it is possible that laboratory tests may be 1
to 2 Rw points above a prediction.
All care has been taken with preparation of these predictions
and it is assumed that construction is strictly in accordance
with this manual and relevant Gyprock and Cemintel
installation guides.
Acoustic Integrity
The acoustic integrity of a system can be influenced by the
combination of elements that make up the system. Single
leaf and uninsulated systems are more dependant on high
quality installation, as relatively minor defects can cause
major degradation of the system performance.
Building systems that allow defects to be hidden from view
have a higher chance of gaps being left unsealed, making
them more vulnerable to performance degradation.
The likelihood and effect of defects occurring with typical
systems is shown in Table A14.
TABLe A14: ACouSTIC INTeGRITY
Wall System
The BCA specifies deemed to satisfy acoustic values that

are laboratory results, and in some cases allows lower values
when site tested. For example, in a Class 2 building the
separating wall can have Rw + Ctr = 50 (a laboratory result),
or DnT,w + Ctr = 45 (tested on site). The difference of 5 is that
expected between site and laboratory, although it might not
always be the case. CSR recommends that where designers
are selecting systems based on expected site performance,
an acoustic engineer be consulted.

The Red Book
Background Noise
Low levels of noise transmitted from other areas can be
partially obscured by background noise.
Where the background noise level is low, such as in remote
areas, consideration should be given to providing a higher
than standard level of sound insulation.
Variation in occupant Perception of

Noise
Tolerance for noise varies greatly between people, and
variations of up to 15dB can be considered acceptable.
This means consideration should be given to the occupants
expectation of the internal acoustic environment. Users of
concert halls and practice rooms may have higher acoustic
expectations than guests of inner city hotels.
Minimum Performance Levels for

Internal Walls and Ceilings
The BCA sets out minimum performance levels for internal
walls and ceilings based on acceptable standards for
affordable housing. The performance requirements are in
terms of Rw, Rw+Ctr and Ln,w+CI.
These levels may need to be increased for:
Va r i a t i o n i n o c c u p a n t p e r c e p t i o n s o f n o i s e ,
e.g. high, medium or low cost housing.
Background noise levels may be very low.
The lack of simplicity in construction could reduce actual
performance.
Minimum Performance Levels

for external Walls
The BCA does not set minimum performance levels of
transmission for external walls. Guidance should be sought
from an acoustic consultant or local authority for setting
the design requirements of these elements, as they may be
affected by road or aircraft noise.
Issues that may affect the design levels for external walls are:
Background noise levels are low.
Flanking transmission of the surrounding structure,
particularly at windows and doors.
performance.
Gaps, Crack and holes
Background noise levels are low.
Small openings allow airborne sound to pass through

an element and can significantly reduce sound insulation
performance. For optimum sound insulation, the element
must be airtight.
Flanking transmission of the surrounding structure.

Lightweight structures can be more prone to low frequency
flanking.
Perimeters and penetrations for services must be sealed with

an acoustic sealant that is capable of accommodating the
expected building movement.
The presence of services will vary which BCA provisions

are applicable, and could mean separate construction is
required.
For systems that are multi-layered, such as masonry

composite systems, each layer must be air tight, as services
such as power points and switches can act as airborne
flanking paths. To remedy this, consider using acoustic rated
power boxes, the Gyprock Silencer, and insulation in the
cavity. Refer to flanking details, Section Z.
Local authorities have higher or additional requirements.

performance.
Minimum Performance Levels

for Services
The BCA sets out minimum performance levels for isolation
of noise from services based on acceptable standards for
affordable housing. The performance levels are in terms of
Rw and Rw+Ctr.
These levels may need to be increased for:
The nature of the noise source and adjacent occupant
activity. Some noises are particularly annoying to
occupants.
Systems that meet the new BCA minimum Rw+Ctr
requirements may have lower performance than systems
that meet the corresponding Rw requirements.
The Red Book
A23
Definitions
Rw Weighted Sound Reduction Index. A measure of
the sound insulation performance of a building element. Rw
is a laboratory measurement similar to STC.
Rw is measured and calculated using the procedures from
AS1276 and AS1191. The related field measurement is
abbreviated as DnT,w.
The higher the number the better the insulation
performance.
dnT,w Weighted Standardised Field Level difference.
A measurement of the sound insulation performance of a
building element. It describes the difference in noise level on
each side of a wall or floor, and indicates the level of speech
privacy between spaces. It is measured in the field and is
therefore subject to the inherent inaccuracies involved in
such a measurement.
The higher the number the better the insulation
performance.
Ctr A spectrum adaptation value used to modify the sound
insulation performance of a wall or floor. Sound insulation
performance can be described by Rw or the DnT,w but these
are not accurate for all noises, especially for low frequency
bass noise from modern stereo systems. Ctr values are
negative value which is added to either the Rw or DnT,w.
AS/NZS1276 - sets out testing methodologies for the sound
insulation properties of building elements and incorporates
these factors and explains their use.
Smaller negative Ctr values are more favourable than large
negative values.
dB(A) The A-scale and dB(A) noise level are used to
degrade the performance of a sound level meter to simulate
what humans hear. The human ear is not a perfect listening
device, it is poor at hearing low frequency noise. dB(A) is
used to compare measured sound with perceived sound.
A number of noise criteria refer to, and are measured in
dB(A). The larger the dB(A) level the louder the noise.
Ln,w Weighted Normalised Impact Sound Pressure
Level. A measure of the noise impact performance of a
floor/ceiling. It is measured in very controlled conditions
in a laboratory and is characterised by how much impact
sound reaches the receiving room via the ceiling/floor from
a standard tapping machine test.
LnT,w Weighted Standardised Field Impact Sound

Pressure Level. A measure of the noise impact performance
of a floor/ceiling. It is similar to Ln,w except it is measured in
the field and is therefore subject to the inherent inaccuracies
involved in such a measurement.
The lower the number the better the performance.
C I A spectrum adaptation term used to modify the
measured impact sound pressure level, Ln,w or LnT,w.
Impact sound is generated by a laboratory grade tapping
machine placed on the floor to be tested. This tapping machine
does not accurately simulate the noise of a persons foot steps
on the floor above, so the CI term was developed to more
closely simulate foot step noise.
The term is defined in ISO717-2. The Ln,w or LnT,w alone
is sufficient to characterise concrete floors covered with
carpet. Other types of floors such as timber joist floors, bare
concrete floors or polished timber or tiles laid on concrete
floors require the CI term to properly characterise footstep
noise.
Timber joist floors can have a CI value slightly positive.
Concrete floors with an effective covering such as carpet
have CI terms approximately equal to 0dB. Concrete floors
with a hard, or less effective covering, can have CI terms
varying between 15dB and 0dB.
NRC Noise Reduction Coefficient. A measure of the
ability of a material to absorb sound.
NRC is generally a number between 0 and 1. A material with
an NRC rating of 1 absorbs 100 % of incoming sound, that
is, no sound is reflected back from the material.
STC Sound Transmission Class. A measure of the
sound insulation performance of a building element used
in the BCA prior to 2000. It is measured in very controlled
conditions in a laboratory.
CAC Ceiling Attenuation Class A single number rating
from a laboratory test to measure sound reduction between
rooms via the ceiling.
dnc,w Weighted Suspended Ceiling Normalised Level
difference. Similar to CAC.

All walls must be designed for the applied loads. Guidance

is given for the selection of Rondo studs for non-loadbearing
internal walls only.
Loadbearing walls and walls subject to wind pressures shall
be appropriately designed to meet the relevant Australian
Standards or construction manuals.
Non-Loadbearing Walls
Maximum wall heights are shown in Tables B1 to B8. These
walls are designed for lateral loads only, using the composite
action of the frame and sheeting.
Non-loadbearing walls in this manual have been designed
as follows:
Introduction
CSR Gyprock and Cemintel steel frame wall systems
use zinc coated steel components with one or more layers
of Gyprock plasterboard and/or Cemintel fibre cement
linings fixed to one or both sides. A wide choice of systems
is available for both fire rated and non-fire rated applications
in non-loadbearing and loadbearing situations.
These wall systems are most often used in internal nonloadbearing applications, including commercial, industrial,
institutional, residential and high-rise residential construction.
Systems are also available for external walls.
Minimum design pressure of 0.25kPa and a maximum

deflection of (height 240) or 30mm maximum. (Based
on BCA Specification C1.8, 3.4 (b))
Fire rated walls have been designed to meet the
requirements of BCA Specification C1.8 Clause 3.4
Walls generally.
Internal wall studs are friction fitted into tracks with no
clearance at the bottom and a minimum allowance for
vertical expansion of 15mm at the top. Where vertical building
movement is expected an additional gap is required. In this
case deflection head tracks must be used.
Staggered stud walls using Rondo C studs must use the
CSR staggered stud clip to restrain the stud from twisting.
Insulation may need to be cut to fit between studs at 300mm
centres.
Wall tracks must be fixed to floors and ceilings at 600mm
maximum centres. Each plate fixing is required to withstand
a shear load of 0.75kN for a UDL of 0.25kPa and 1.1kN for
UDL of 0.35kPa.
Tall residential buildings often have exterior operable doors
and windows, resulting in internal walls being subject to
wind pressure. In these cases, walls must be designed for
the appropriate loads.
B4
The Red Book
Loadbearing Walls
Framing must be made from steel of up to 2.4mm BMT.
Walls designed as loadbearing and lined with GYPROCK

FYRCHEK meet the requirements of BCA Specification C1.8
Clause 3.4 Walls generally.
Wall plates must be fixed to the fire rated support structure

with steel fasteners such as expansion anchors, easy drive
masonry anchors and power driven fasteners.
The building designer must ensure loadbearing walls have

been designed:
Fyrchek and Cemintel fibre cement products must be

screw fixed only, adhesive is not permitted. Linings that
do not contribute to the system FRL may use adhesive.
To resist all applied loads.

To be in accordance with AS4600.
Assuming no contribution to axial strength is required of
the wall linings.
To meet the stated Fire Resistance Level (FRL), the axial load
capacity of some wall systems is reduced. This is a result of
the steel weakening at high temperature during a fire test.
The systems are noted with an Axial Capacity Reduction
percentage (ACR%). For these systems, the designer must
increase the applied loads before selecting stud size to
compensate for the axial capacity reduction percentage, as
shown in the system specification.
The capacity of head and base tracks for walls subject to
wind loads must be checked. Typically, studs are cleated
at head and base with a Rondo angle bracket. Contact
Rondo for more information on designing walls subject to
wind loads.
Fire Resistance
The steel frame wall systems in this manual are suitable
for the stated FRL when designed in accordance with the
structural considerations above. Wall system ratings apply
in either direction, unless noted otherwise.
CSR fire rated steel stud wall systems have been designed
with fire protection that limits the temperature of the
steel framing to a maximum of 450C at the FRL stated.
Therefore the structural design of the framing need only
provide for normal temperature conditions, and no additional
consideration of fire rating is required. In some systems this
temperature is exceeded and the axial capacity of the stud
must be reduced to compensate for the loss of strength. The
percentage reduction is noted for each affected systems.
To protect structural steel beams and columns that are
entirely within a wall, the FRL of the wall system must be at
least equivalent to that required by the structural member.
For example, a wall system with FRL 90/90/90 provides FRL
90// for a steel column within the wall.
Framing & Lining
Steel framed walls required to have an FRL must comply
with the following:
In wet areas, Gyprock Fyrchek MR must be used in lieu

of Gyprock Fyrchek.
For single layer systems and the first layer of multi-layer
systems, butt joints must be backed by either a stud or
nogging.
For multi-layer vertically sheeted applications, outer layer
butt joints may be reinforced using laminating screws
without the need for framing support.
Joints in the outer layer of all systems lined with
plasterboard or Wallboard must be set with Gyprock
paper tape. As a minimum, a single coat finish may be
used.
All joints in Texture Base Sheets must be formed on
framing.
Joints in external systems lined with Cemintel Texture
Base Sheet must be set with the tape and compound
recommended for the texture coating system.
For additional information on frame design and detailing,
including treatment at junctions, sub floor and roof areas,
cavity barriers and penetrations, refer to brochure NGYP544,
Gyprock Steel Frame Wall Systems.
The Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of the systems detailed in
this section will not be detrimentally affected by:
Increasing the thickness of the wall.
Increasing the cross-sectional dimensions of the framing
elements.
Decreasing the stud spacing.
Decreasing the fixing centres of wall sheet materials.
The inclusion of bulk cavity insulation materials such as
Glasswool, Rockwool and Polyester.
The use of Fyrchek MR, Impactchek, EC08 Fire or
EC08 Impact plasterboard in lieu of Fyrchek plasterboard
of the same thickness.
Additional layers of plasterboard or Cemintel fibre cement.
Wall curved in plan with a radius of curvature no less than
3m.
The attachment of light weight fixtures through to the framing.
The addition of an exterior cladding.
The Red Book
B5
Caulking
To attain the specified FRL, all perimeter gaps and
penetrations must be carefully and completely filled with
appropriate caulking material. CSR Gyprock Fire Mastic or
other tested fire and acoustic rated material of equivalent or
better performance must be used.
Vermiculite plaster has no capacity to accommodate building
movement and may not be suitable for use as a general purpose
fire rated caulking. Its use is specified in some wall/ceiling
junctions, refer to brochure NGYP570, Gyprock Ceiling
Systems Installation Guide.
Acoustic Performance
The acoustic performance of wall systems is expressed in
terms of Rw and Rw+Ctr where appropriate. The performance
of the as-built system may be affected by sound flanking, the
effectiveness of workmanship and caulking, the presence
and treatment of penetrations, and the inclusion of structural
elements and bridging items. Refer to Section A for detailed
information on addressing these issues.
General Notes.
The acoustic performance of systems may be adversely
affected by the use of studs with higher BMT or closer
spacings than those specified, or by the use of additional
linings fixed with battens.
In non-fire rated systems, to attain the stated acoustic
performance, use Gyprock Wet Area Acrylic Sealant,
Gyprock Fire Mastic or other tested acoustic rated material
of equivalent or better performance.
The acoustic performance of CSR wall systems is not
adversely affected by:
The order of lining sheets that are fixed direct to framing.
The substitution of Aquachek for Gyprock Plasterboard
CD of the same thickness.
The substitution of Gyprock Fyrchek MR for Fyrchek of
the same thickness.
Installation
Framing
CSR recommends steel components manufactured by
Rondo Building Services Pty Ltd. Additional information
on the steel components can be obtained from the Rondo
Building Services Pty Ltd, telephone 1300 367 663. Other
steel components of equivalent performance may be used,
however, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the
component to substantiate equivalent performance with the
recommended component.
For detailed information on wall junctions, intersections, frame
attachments and penetrations, refer to guide NGYP544,
Gyprock Steel Frame Wall Systems.
Shaftwall , SecurityWall , Party Wall, Cinema Wall,
Laminated systems and StrataWall systems have additional
installation details. Refer to the relevant installation guide.
Walls curved in plan may be built with steel stud frames.
Selection information on stud centres and plasterboard
thickness for various curvatures can be found in brochure
NGYP544, Gyprock Steel Frame Wall Systems.
Wallboard & Plasterboard Fixing

Walls may be built to achieve a particular Level of Finish
as defined in AS/NZS2589.1. The Level of Finish specified
can have requirements for frame alignment, jointing and
back blocking methods, and sheet orientation. CeminSeal
and Gyprock plasterboard may be installed vertically or
horizontally, although for some Levels of Finish horizontal
sheeting must be used.
Walls lined with Gyprock plasterboard or CeminSeal
Wallboard may be finished with tiles. For tiles greater than
32kg/m 2 or over 6.5mm thickness, specific installation
details apply. Refer to the appropriate installation manual.
Plasterboard Jointing & Finishing

NGYP547 and Cemintel Wet Area Lining Systems,
NFC101 for detailed jointing and finishing information.
It should be noted that:
Multi-layered systems only require jointing and finishing of
the outer layer.
It is recommended that a water resistant taping
compound, such as Gyprock Wet Area Base Coat be
used at horizontal and vertical joints within wet areas such
as showers.

Control Joints
Control joints must be installed to allow for structural
movement. Allowance for movement must be made through
the frame, lining and any tiles.
Components
Lining & Fixing Materials
Control joints must be installed at all construction joints in

the building and at the following locations:
Refer to Section A for detailed information on CSR lining

products, fixings, adhesive and accessories.

maximum centres.
Walls with plasterboard outer layer at 12m maximum
centres.
External walls refer to the appropriate installation
manual.
At junctions with other building elements.
At changes of lining material.
At changes of structural support systems.
At each storey or rise of studs.
Framing
Building Services Pty Ltd.
Other steel components of equivalent performance may be
used, however, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of
the component to substantiate equivalent performance with
the recommended component.
External Walls
CSR external wall systems rely on a range of cladding
systems to provide weather resistance. There is a range of
effectiveness of these systems, and CSR recommends the
cladding be installed with a drained cavity. Cavity systems
allow drainage and drying of any water that penetrates, and
are known to have good long-term performance.
Sarking is also recommended to provide additional weather
protection to framing and lining.
External walls require specific design for condensation
control and energy efficiency, depending on the climate and
internal environment. Contact CSR Bradford for information
on thermal insulation systems and products.

EC08 Plasterboard Systems

The growth in recent years of more sustainable development,
the Green Building Council Australia and Green Star ratings
for buildings has fuelled the demand for more environmentally
responsible building materials.
In the plasterboard market, Gyprock has led the way
with reCore technology and the Gyprock EC08 range
of Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certified
plasterboards.
CSR Lightweight Systems manufactures and supplies a
diverse range of plasterboard and fibre cement sheets,
acoustic panels and accessories to suit a multitude of wall,

ceiling and encasement applications.
The Gyprock EC08 range of plasterboard has been
developed using Gyprocks reCore technology which
enables the use of higher levels of recycled content over
20% for EC08 Impact.
All products in the range have been certified by GECA as
meeting the requirements of their environmental standard
for Panel Boards.
EC08 Partition
EC08 Fire
EC08 Impact
An economical, non-fire rated

board for general requirements
where fire and acoustics
are not required.
The original, GECA certified

EC08 board with fire and
acoustic rating for party walls
and meeting rooms.

The Red Book
Introduction
CSR Gyprock & Cemintel timber frame wall systems are
assemblies constructed from timber components with one
or more layers of Gyprock plasterboard and/or Cemintel
linings fixed to one or both sides.
A wide range of systems is available including fire rated walls,
internal and external walls, and for loadbearing applications.
Timber frame wall systems are typically used in multiresidential applications.
Design
Considerations
structural design
All walls must be designed for the applied loads. Guidance
is given for the selection of studs in non-loadbearing internal
walls only. For loadbearing walls and walls subject to wind
pressures, walls shall be designed to the appropriate
Australian Standards or construction manuals.
Non-Loadbearing Walls
Maximum wall height and the required stud size may be
selected from Table C1 or C2 appropriate for the selected
system. These walls are designed for lateral loads only, using
the composite action of the frame and sheeting.
Non-loadbearing walls in this manual have been designed
as follows for a minimum design pressure of 0.25kPa and a
maximum deflection of (height 240) or 30mm maximum.
(Based on BCA Specification C1.8, 3.4 (b)).
Wall plates must be fixed to floors and ceilings at 600mm
maximum centres. Each plate fixing is required to withstand
a shear load of 0.75kN for a UDL of 0.25kPa
Tall multi-residential buildings often have exterior operable
doors and windows, resulting in internal walls being subject
to wind pressure. In these cases, walls must be designed
for the appropriate loads.
The Red Book
Loadbearing Walls
Walls designed as loadbearing, with studs at 600mm
maximum centres and lined with GYPROCK FYRCHEK,
meet the requirements of BCA Specification C1.8 Clause
3.4 Walls generally.
The building designer must ensure loadbearing walls have
been designed:
To resist all applied loads.
To be in accordance with AS1720.1 or AS1684.
Assuming no contribution to axial strength is required of
the wall linings.
To meet the stated Fire Resistance Level (FRL), the axial load
capacity of some wall systems is reduced. This is a result
of loss of stud section from charring during a fire test. The
systems are noted with an Axial Capacity Reduction (ACR)
Group number. In these systems, the designer must increase
the applied loads to compensate for the axial capacity
reduction percentage, as shown in Table C3.

Fire Resistance
The timber frame wall systems in this manual are suitable
for the stated FRL when designed in accordance with the
structural considerations above. Wall system ratings apply
in either direction unless noted otherwise.
The fire design of timber framing is based on the principle that
a particular level of char is acceptable without compromising
the performance of the wall. CSR has carried out testing to
verify the char limit, and where it is exceeded, the allowable
axial capacity of the stud is reduced to account for the loss
of section.
To protect structural timber and steel beams and columns
within a wall, the FRL of the wall system must be at least
equivalent to that required by the structural member. For
example, a wall system with FRL 90/90/90 provides FRL
90// for a steel column within the wall.
C3
Framing & Lining

Timber stud walls required to have an FRL must comply with
the following:
Studs must be minimum 70 x 35mm and spaced at
Wall plates must be fixed to the fire rated support structure
with steel fasteners such as expansion anchors, easy drive
masonry anchors and power driven fasteners.
Curved walls (in plan) with a radius of curvature no less

than 3m.
The addition of any cladding.
The attachment of light weight fixtures through to the
framing.
Caulking
Fyrchek plasterboard and Cemintel fibre cement

products must be screw or nail fixed only, adhesive is not
permitted.
To attain the specified FRL, all perimeter gaps and

appropriate caulking material. CSR Gyprock Fire Mastic
or other tested fire and acoustic rated material of equivalent
or better performance must be used.
In wet areas, Gyprock Fyrchek MR should be used in

lieu of Gyprock Fyrchek.
Details for fire sealing of penetrations are shown later in this

section.
For single layer systems and first layer of multi-layer

systems, butt joints must be backed by either a stud or
nogging. Horizontal recessed joints must be backed by a
nogging or offset at least 300mm on opposite sides of the
wall.

movement, and may not be suitable for use as a general
purpose fire rated caulking. Its use is specified in some
wall/ceiling junctions; refer to Gyprock Ceiling Systems
Installation Guide, NGYP 570.
For multi-layer vertically sheeted applications, Fyrchek

outer layer butt joints may be reinforced using laminating
screws without the need for framing support.
Joints in the outer layer of all systems lined with

plasterboard or Wallboard must be set with Gyprock
paper tape. As a minimum, a single coat finish may be
used.
Joints in external systems lined with Cemintel Texture
Base Sheet must be set with the tape and compound
recommended for the texture coating system.
All joints in Cemintel Texture Base Sheet must be formed
on framing.
For additional information on frame design and detailing,
including treatment at junctions, sub floor and roof areas,
cavity barriers and penetrations, refer to Forest and Wood
Products publication Timber Framed Construction for MultiResidential Buildings.
The acoustic performance of wall systems is expressed in

terms of Rw and Rw+Ctr where appropriate. The performance
of the as-built system may be affected by: sound flanking,
the effectiveness of workmanship and caulking, the presence
and treatment of penetrations, and the inclusion of structural
elements and bridging items. Refer to Section A for detailed
information on addressing these issues.
general Notes
The acoustic performance of systems may be adversely
affected by the use of wider studs or closer spacings than
that specified.
In non-fire rated systems, to attain the stated acoustic
performance, use Gyprock Wet Area Acrylic Sealant,
Gyprock Fire Mastic or other tested acoustic rated
material of equivalent or better performance.
The Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of the systems detailed in

this section will not be detrimentally affected by;
The acoustic performance of CSR wall systems is not

adversely affected by:
Increasing the thickness of the wall.
the order of lining sheets that are fixed direct to framing.
Increasing the cross-sectional dimensions of the framing

elements.
the substitution of Aquachek for Gyprock Plasterboard

CD of the same thickness.
Decreasing the stud spacing.
the substitution of Gyprock Fyrchek MR for Fyrchek of

the same thickness.
Decreasing the fixing centres of wall sheet materials.

The inclusion of bulk cavity insulation materials such as
Glasswool, Rockwool and Polyester.
The use of Fyrchek MR, Impactchek, EC08 Fire or
EC08 Impact plasterboard in lieu of Fyrchek plasterboard
of the same thickness.
Additional layers of plasterboard or fibre cement.

For detailed information on wall junctions, intersections,
frame attachments and penetrations, refer to Section Z of
this guide and Woods & Forests publication, Timber Framed
Construction for Mult-Residential Buildings.
Walls curved in plan may be built with timber stud frames.
Table for stud centres and plasterboard thickness for various
curvatures can be found in CSR Gyprock Residential
Installation, Guide NGYP547.
Gyprock Party Wall systems have additional installation
requirements. Refer to brochure NGYP513 Gyprock Party
Wall Systems.
Wallboard & Plasterboard Fixing

Interior walls may be built to achieve a particular Level of
Finish as defined in AS/NZS2589.1. The Level of Finish
specified can have requirements for frame alignment,
jointing and back blocking methods, and sheet orientation.
CeminSeal Wallboard and Gyprock plasterboard may be
installed vertically or horizontally, although for some Levels of
Finish horizontal sheeting must be used.
Walls with plasterboard outer layer: 12m maximum

centres.
External walls: Refer to the appropriate installation
manual.
At junctions with other building elements.
At junctions with different lining materials.
At change of structural support system.
At each storey or rise of studs.
External Walls
Gyprock timber frame external wall systems rely on a
range of cladding systems to provide weather resistance.
There is a range of effectiveness of these systems, and
CSR Gyprock recommends the cladding be installed with
a drained cavity. Cavity systems allow drainage and drying
of any water that penetrates, and are known to have good
long-term performance.
Sarking is also recommended to provide additional weather
protection to framing and lining.
External walls require specific design for condensation
control and energy efficiency, depending on the climate and
internal environment. Contact CSR Bradford for information
on thermal insulation systems and products.
Interior walls lined with Gyprock plasterboard or

CeminSeal Wallboard may be finished with tiles. Refer to
the relevant installation manual for details.

Introduction
Gyprock plasterboard and CeminSeal Wallboard can
be used with masonry walls for effective fire and acoustic
solutions. These linings can eliminate the need for render,
increase the fire rating of the masonry, or provide an acoustic
performance to meet sound transmission and sound impact
ratings.
Systems incorporating masonry and an insulated cavity are
generally used where there is a requirement for excellent
acoustic performance and discontinuous construction. The
provision of a cavity also allows the inclusion of services.
Gyprock plasterboard may be directly applied to the
masonry substrate, screw fixed to metal furring channels
that are fixed to the masonry, or may be fixed to separate
stud framing. CeminSeal Wallboard may be fixed to furring
channels or studs.
Systems in this section are suitable for a wide range of
masonry products. These are typically clay and concrete
blocks, autoclaved aerated concrete blocks and panels, and
may include cast concrete elements. Minimum performance
conditions apply to the substrates to achieve the system
performance values, and these are stated in the system
specifications. Specific fixing details apply to each type of
substrate.
These wall systems are generally used in internal applications
in commercial, industrial, institutional, domestic and high-rise
domestic construction, or in the renovation of older buildings.
A number of systems for external masonry veneer walls can
be found in Section B and Section C.
The Red Book
Design
Considerations
Structural Performance
All wall elements must be designed for the applied loads.
Vertical loads may be supported by the masonry element
of the wall, or for non-fire rated walls, by the stud framing.
Lateral loads should be considered separately for framed
and masonry parts of a wall. To achieve the specified sound
performance, ties from masonry to the stud framing must
not be used.
framed Wall Elements
Guidance is given in Tables D1, D2, & D5 for the selection of
Rondo studs and for timber studs in non-loadbearing internal
walls only for 0.25kPa and 0.35kPa. For other brands of
studs, studs that are required to be loadbearing, and studs
subject to higher lateral pressures, contact the manufacturer
for design information. Maximum spans for Rondo furring
channels are given in Table D4.
Tall multi-residential buildings often have exterior operable
doors and windows, resulting in internal walls being subject
to wind pressure. In these cases, walls must be designed
for the appropriate loads.
Stud frames that are part of a masonry wall system may be
loadbearing. A qualified person must complete the structural
design of loadbearing wall systems. Walls with shelving
attached are considered loadbearing.
D3
Further information on the design of stud walls is given in

Sections B and C.
Walls lined with GYPROCK plasterboard designed as
loadbearing, and non-loadbearing walls selected from Tables
D1, D2 and D5, meet the requirements of BCA Specification
C1.8 Clause 3.4 Walls generally.
masonry Wall Elements
All brick and block wall elements are to be designed in
accordance with AS3700 Masonry Structures. Concrete
walls must be designed to AS3600: Concrete Structures, and
CSR Hebel Powerpanel must be designed in accordance
with CSR Hebel literature.
fire Resistance
For systems without a stated Fire Resistance Level (FRL),
the system FRL is equal to the FRL of the masonry wall
element. The FRL of masonry walls is dependant on the
height and width of the wall; contact the manufacturer for
more information.
To achieve the required fire performance of a wall, it is
essential that installation is in accordance with the masonry
manufacturers details and relevant installation standards. This
should include fire sealing at the wall head and perimeters,
and filling of mortar joints. All gaps and penetrations should
be effectively fire sealed.
movement and may not be suitable for use as a general
purpose fire rated caulking. Its use is specified in some wall/
ceiling junctions. Refer to the Gyprock Ceiling Systems
Installation Guide, NGYP570.
In systems with Gyprock Fyrchek plasterboard fixed to
furring channels, fixing, jointing and fire sealing must be
in accordance with Section B of this manual. FYRCHEK
plasterboard must be fully screw fixed, and Gyprock Acrylic
Stud Adhesive must not be relied on.
Systems that use only resilient mounts with furring

channels to create a cavity do not meet the requirements
of discontinuous construction, although may be used in the
Northern Territory where an impact rating is required. The
installation of services in these systems is not recommended
as they can bridge the gap between the masonry and the
linings.
The acoustic performance of wall systems may be affected
by:
Sound flanking.
The effectiveness of workmanship and caulking.
The presence and treatment of penetrations.
The inclusion of structural elements and bridging items
such as ties.
Reducing the stated or implied cavity sizes.
The acoustic performance of wall systems will not be reduced
by:
The addition of Gyprock plasterboard or Cemintel
linings.
The use of deeper studs or larger cavities.
The use of timber studs of at least equal depth in lieu of
steel studs.
Omitting the lining direct fixed to masonry (except in Hebel
systems).
Refer to Section A for detailed acoustic information.
Perimeter Sealing
To attain the stated R w in systems that do not rely on
plasterboard for the fire rating, use Gyprock Wet Area
Acrylic Sealant, Gyprock Fire Mastic or other tested
acoustic rated material of equivalent or better performance.
The acoustic performance of some systems is dependant
on a minimum Rw of the masonry wall element. This is to
be the tested performance of the masonry without render
or sheet linings, and must be verified by the masonry unit
manufacturer.
Installation of the masonry element of the wall must be in
accordance with the manufacturers details for the tested
product.
Systems that meet the BCA requirements for discontinuous
construction are noted in the system specifications. These
have studs that are separated from the masonry by at least
12mm. The plasterboard lining on the studs (the wall leaf)
therefore has a separation of at least 12mm plus the depth
of the stud, which exceeds the BCA minimum of 20mm.
Ties between masonry and stud framing must not be used.

Introduction
CSR has developed a wide range of floor/ceiling and
roof/ceiling systems to meet specific fire and acoustic
requirements. The systems include ratings for sound
transmission, sound impact and sound absorption, for fire
resistance up to FRL 120/120/120, and for up to 60 minutes
Resistance to Incipient Spread of Fire (RISF).
Generally, the fire resistance of floor and roof/ceiling systems
is assessed from below, in accordance with the standard
fire test of AS1530.4. This is the requirement of the BCA
where lightweight construction is used for compartmentation
and separation. Some elements such as fire-isolated
passageways are required to have an FRL when tested from
outside. A number of ceiling systems are available that offer
fire resistance from above to meet this requirement.
CSR ceiling systems use various fixing techniques for the
attachment of linings. These include:
a) Direct fixing to timber and steel joists or truss bottom
chords.
b) Screw fixing to steel furring channels.
c) Screw fixing to resilient or resiliently mounted furring
channels.
d) Screw fixing to suspended concealed metal grid.
e) Lay-in tiles in suspended exposed metal grid or Fricker
Easy Access System.
Design
Considerations
Structural
All floor, roof and ceiling framing must be designed for
the applied loads. Guidance for the selection of Rondo
suspension and grid components is given in brochure
NGYP570 Gyprock Ceiling Systems Installation Guide.
For other elements, refer to the appropriate design standards
or handbooks, or contact the manufacturer for design
information.
CSR recommends a minimum design pressure of 0.25kPa
(downward) for the ceiling framing. Other wind pressures may
be applicable; the designer should refer to AS/NZS1170.
Wind loads on external ceilings can be similar to those on
adjacent walls. Pressures can be positive or negative and
the lining, grid and structure should be designed to resist
the loads. Internal suspension components, even with down
struts, may not be suitable.
loads greater than 0.5kPa and for some FRLs.

CSR Ceiling systems have been designed for timber or steel
framing as noted in the system specification. Timber framing
shall be solid timber or engineered floor joist such as LVL
Glulam, plyweb joists, or trusses made from solid timber
framing must be designed in accordance with AS1720.1.
or AS1684
Steel framing for direct fixing of linings shall have maximum
base metal thickness (BMT) 1.6mm. Framing may be trusses,
top hats, C sections, furring channels, or similar members.
in all cases they should be designed in accordance with
AS4600.
For steel components in external environments, in heavy
industrial areas or coastal areas, additional coatings may be
required. Refer to AS/NZS2785 for guidance
Direct-Fix Framing Systems
Ceiling linings may be fixed directly to primary timber or steel
framing, or to secondary members such as furring channels
and battens.
Timber members to which plasterboard will be fixed
must comply with AS1684 Residential Timber-Framed
Construction, or be designed in accordance with AS1720.1
Timber Structures: Design Methods.
Steel framing to which plasterboard will be fixed must comply
with AS/NZS4600, Cold Formed Steel Structures.
Suspended Ceiling Systems
Ceiling suspension systems must be designed to
AS/NZS2785 Suspended Ceilings Design and Installation.
Ceilings in this manual are not trafficable. Trafficable systems
shall be designed in accordance with AS1657 Fixed
Platforms, Walkways, Stairways and Ladders.
Ceilings Rated from Above
Ceiling systems with plasterboard linings on top of joists
are not trafficable or intended to be used for storage. The
joists should be designed for all imposed loads including
construction loads where fixing of sheets is required from
above. Appropriate barriers and signage should be installed
to prevent access.
Fire Performance
Gyprock fire rated ceiling systems have been designed with
fire protection that protects the framing. This means that no
consideration of steel or timber framing design need be given
for the fire rating.
The maximum spacing of ceiling framing is 600mm. Closer

spacing may be required for some lining materials, for design
E2
The Red Book
To protect structural beams that are entirely within the ceiling

space, the structural adequacy component of the ceiling
system FRL must be at least equivalent to that required by
the structural member. For example, a ceiling system with
FRL 90/90/90 provides FRL 90/-/- for a steel beam within
the ceiling. Systems are available for beams that are not
entirely enclosed.
Framing and Lining
Plasterboard must be screw fixed only, adhesive is not
permitted. Joints in the outer layer of all systems must be
set with Gyprock paper tape. As a minimum, a single coat
finish may be used.
For general installation information refer to FIG E3 to E10.
Detailed fixing information is provided in brochures: Gyprock
Ceiling Systems Installation Guide NGYP570, CSR Gyprock
Shaft Systems NGYP546, Cemintel Ceiling Systems
NFC129, Cemintel ExpressWall Facade System NFC126
and CSR Hebel PowerFloor Design Guide, NHBL751-LRPF.
Ceiling systems are generally shown in a horizontal orientation.
The system FRL and RISF will not be reduced if ceilings are
built on a rake. The support framing, including lateral bracing,
must be designed considering the slope of the ceiling.
Alternative support framing members may be used where
timber joists are shown without reducing the system FRL
and RISF. These members include, but are not limited to,
steel, composite steel/timber joists, laminated timber joists,
and trussed or plywood web joists.
System specifications for minimum cavity depths and floor
surface finishes relate to acoustic performance only.
Roof Materials
Roof/ceiling systems may include options for roof tiles
and steel roof sheeting. Where steel sheeting is used, the
specified Anticon insulation must be installed to achieve
the stated FRL.
Caulking
To attain the specified fire rating, all perimeter gaps and
appropriate caulking material. In fire rated systems, to
attain the stated fire rating use CSR Gyprock Fire Mastic
or other tested fire rated material of equivalent or better
performance. Details for fire sealing of penetrations is given
in Section Z.
Vermiculite plaster is not to be used as a general purpose
fire rated caulking. Its use is specified in some wall/ceiling
junctions; refer to Gyprock Ceiling Systems Installation
Guide NGYP570. Vermiculite plaster has no capacity to
accommodate building movement.
The Red Book
Sound Transmission
Sound flanking, the effectiveness of workmanship and
caulking, the presence and treatment of penetrations, and
the inclusion of structural elements and bridging items, may
affect the acoustic performance of ceiling systems. Refer to
Section A for detailed information.
Alternative structural framing systems including steel, and
composite steel/timber joists, laminated timber joists, and
trussed or plywood web joists may be used without reducing
the system rating. The stated or implied minimum cavity
depth must also be maintained.
For effective control of sound in the flanking path of a floor
or roof space, acoustically rated walls should continue to
the underside of the floor or roof above. Alternatively, select
a detail from section G equivalent to the required Rw or
Rw + Ctr performance of the wall.
Ceilings systems beneath concrete slabs are unlikely to
achieve greater than DnT,w 65 due to the number of flanking
paths and variations in building construction.
Rw and Rw+Ctr values published are estimated performance
in a laboratory, and the higher values may be beyond the
limits of some laboratories to measure.
In non-fire rated systems, to attain the stated sound
transmission performance, use a tested acoustic sealant.
All penetrations should be treated to maintain the acoustic
integrity of the system.
The values given for roofs assume that there are no vents,
skylights or similar penetrations, and that the eaves are not
vented. Note that the effect of such penetrations will be lower
for ceilings lined with multiple layers of plasterboard.
Sound impact performance is stated as Ln,w + CI. Note that
a lower value of Ln,w + CI has a higher impact performance.
Values refer to expected laboratory performance, and
assume relatively stiff floor joists. Installations with joists of
lower stiffness may reduce the impact performance.
Floors finished with carpet and underlay achieve better
impact performance than those with hard surfaces such as
floorboards and tiles. If carpet is subsequently removed (from
a system that uses it in its performance value), the floor may
no longer meet the BCA impact requirements.
Sound Absorption
Gyprock Perforated Plasterboard, Ecophon, Fricker and
USG ceiling products have sound absorption qualities. These
products may be used to influence the reverberation time of
a room in order to improve the sound quality.
Product performance is expressed as NRC, and values vary
from 0 (total reflection) to 1.00 (total absorption). NRC values
can be found in system CSR 890
E3
Plasterboard & Fibre Cement Fixing

Ceilings may be built to achieve a particular Level of Finish
can have requirements for frame alignment, jointing and back
blocking methods.
Lining sheets must be installed with the long edge at right
angles to the direction of the framing to which they are fixed.
Refer to FIG E3 to E10 for general fixing information using
fastener and fastener/adhesive fixing methods. Detailed fixing
information is provided in Gyprock Residential Installation
Guide, NGYP547, Cemintel Ceiling Systems NFC129 and
Gyprock Ceiling Systems Installation Guide, NGYP570.
Fire rated systems MUST NOT rely on adhesive fixing of
linings.

Introduction
Gyprock Services Systems are ducts, risers, bulkheads
and ceilings that provide protection from noise generated by
building services. These services include water supply pipes,
waste and storm water pipes, and air conditioning ducts.
The BCA has deemed to satisfy performance requirements
that vary depending on the room use adjacent to the service,
and there are some State variations. The requirements are
R w + Ctr = 25 to a kitchen or non-habitable room, and
Rw + Ctr = 40 for habitable rooms other than kitchens. The
State variations are for Rw = 30 and Rw = 45 for the same
respective room types.
For services located within separating walls, refer to
Section Z for details and performance information.
Fire Resistance
The services systems in this section have no Fire Resistance
Level. They may be used in conjunction with fire rated
wall and ceiling systems selected from elsewhere in this
manual.
Acoustic
Performance
The acoustic transmission performance of the services
systems is dependent on the type of support framing. In
some systems, higher ratings can be achieved with timber
framing compared to light steel framing. In cavity systems,
this does not apply.
Services systems used as bulkheads or ceilings may
incorporate downlights. The distribution of downlights in
a services system is specified as the maximum number
permitted in a 5m 2 area. The lights shall be evenly
distributed and no closer than 900mm apart. Where higher
concentrations of lights are required, an acoustic engineer
should be consulted.
Penetrations for downlights must be neat and tight to the
fitting. No additional sealing is required. Ensure insulation
material is kept clear of fittings and that transformers are
supported separately from the plasterboard lining.
The installation of exhaust grilles and ducting may reduce the
performance of the systems. The building designer should
contact the exhaust system manufacturer for performance
details.
Similarly, access panels might be required. Contact the panel
manufacturer for suitable products.
Lagging of pipes or ducts is specified in some services
systems. Lagging must provide complete coverage for the
full extent of the pipe or duct.

The Red Book
Framing &
Lining
Framing shown in the system layout is indicative only. The
designer should ensure that framing elements are suitable for
the application. For systems specified with timber framing,
linings must be fixed directly to solid timber joists or studs of
minimum dimension 70 x 35mm that are spaced at 600mm
maximum centres. For all other framing construction, select
services systems that are specified for steel framing.
Except for fire grade plasterboard, fixing to framing may be
fastener only or combination fastener/adhesive. Refer to the
Gyprock Residential Installation Guide, NGYP547 and
Cemintel Wet Area Lining Systems, NFC101 for detailed
fixing, jointing and finishing information.
It should be noted that for all systems, setting joints is only
required for the outer layer.
For walls and ceilings, insulation must not be compressed
between the lining and any lagging or the service being
protected.
FIG F2: InsulaTIon CompRessIon
Components
Refer to Section A of this manual for detailed information on
CSR Gyprock plasterboard and Cemintel lining products,
jointing compounds, and fastener specifications.
Building Services Pty Ltd, telephone 1300 367 663.
Downlights may be of any non-gimbal type with glass cover,
suitable for a circular cut-out of up to 80mm diameter. Lights
weighing more than 250g must be supported separately
from the plasterboard lining.
Acoustilag 45 consists of 25mm Bradford glasswool
bonded to 4.5kg/m2 loaded vinyl. The glasswool side is to
be installed facing the service pipe or duct.
Lagging is to completely cover the service duct or pipe. Remove
a 50mm wide strip of glasswool and overlap at joints. Tape with
a quality aluminium tape.

Flanking Paths via Wall
G16 G18

Introduction
Flanking sounds reach adjoining areas by indirect paths,
rather than through the dividing element. The components
and cavities of the walls, floors and ceilings that surround the
dividing element are the main paths for flanking transmission.
When designing for room-to-room performance, all flanking
paths should be considered, as well as the dividing element
itself.
The flanking path values in this section are a guide to the
maximum sound transmission values that would be achieved
in a laboratory test. The rating assumes that the dividing
wall that is being flanked has an equivalent or higher sound
transmission performance (Rw or Rw + Ctr) than the flanking
value. Where a flanking system has a rating higher than that
of the dividing wall, the room-to-room transmission should
be taken as the wall value.
Each flanking path system is represented by a typical layout,
and is associated with one or more details. The details
show an example of the construction required, but must be
amended to suit the system specification and lining. Dividing
walls shown as single studs may be substituted with other
construction such as staggered studs, double studs and
masonry walls to achieve the same results.
Panel ceiling systems must have no lights or penetrations
within 600mm of dividing wall and plasterboard ceilings
must have no acoustically untreated penetrations in rooms
adjacent to dividing wall.
Building systems and construction methods can vary greatly
from site to site. CSR recommends that where acoustic
performance is important, an acoustic engineer be consulted
to assess the suitability of the flanking system values detailed
in this section.

The Red Book
Service Penetrations
The acoustic performance of walls and ceilings can be
reduced by penetrations for plumbing, electrical switches,
light fittings, etc. For construction that is acoustically
sensitive, it is recommended that, wherever possible, such
penetrations are avoided. In other cases, rated proprietary
sealants and products should be used.
There is a wide range of services and materials that may
be required to penetrate sound rated walls and ceilings,
and in varied configurations and concentrations. CSR
recommends that an acoustic engineer be consulted for
advice on all details for projects with specific acoustic
objectives.
Fire and acoustic rated switch boxes are available from
manufacturers such as PROMAT, CLIPSAL and HPM to
assist in maintaining the acoustic integrity of wall systems.
Wall system CSR 075 has been tested without penetrations,
and also in the configuration shown in FIG Z201, using
PROMAT fire rated switch boxes. An acoustic performance
of Rw52 was recorded in both cases. (CSIRO Nth Ryde Test
N HAS 029). Designers should contact the manufacturer
for performance in other walls and configurations. CSR
recommends that wherever electrical penetrations are
made, 75mm CSR Bradford Glasswool Partition batts be
incorporated in the wall cavity to assist acoustic integrity.
Refer to FIG Z201 & Z203.
As an alternative to fire and acoustic rated power boxes,

standard power points can be installed using the Gyprock
Silencer. This reduces the labour intensive cutting and
caulking requirements of many other systems. Refer to FIG
Z202.
The acoustic performance of four power points back to
back in CSR 295(b) was evaluated by testing at CSIRO
and no reduction in Rw occurred up to Rw 60. Refer to FIG
Z204.
Plumbing penetrations such as taps and shower roses in
walls can also be contained in the Gyprock Silencer. This
can maintain the acoustic separation of the wall as above,
and provides effective rating of plumbing noise to adjacent
areas. Refer to FIG Z205.

sound rated downlights such as Regal R1012/FRD can
be used. Designers should contact the manufacturer for

Service penetrations in fire rated walls and ceilings that

can be effectively rated include electrical and data cables,
switches and GPOs, hydraulic pipes, vents and mechanical
ducts. Access panels and control joints can also be installed
with appropriate fire resistance levels.
Power outlets and light switches can be installed in fire
rated walls using either fire rated switch boxes or with
standard switches within a Gyprock Silencer . When
installed correctly, these methods can maintain the FRL of
the wall system in which they are installed.

The fire resistance of electrical penetrations was tested at

the CSR Research NATA Laboratory. Standard power points
were positioned back to back within Gyprock Silencers
without degrading the fire resistance of the wall system up
to /120/120. (CSIRO assessment FCO 2039). Taps and
similar plumbing penetrations can also be installed in the
Silencer for the same rating.
Where fire and acoustic rated switch boxes are specified,
refer to the manufacturer for appropriate products and
installation details.
Metal pipe penetrations may be treated as per BCA
deemed-to-satisfy details or in accordance with a
proprietary assessed detail. These details typically involve
mastic sealants. Plastic pipes, and pipes with insulation
lagging, are usually treated with fire collars in accordance
with manufacturers details, in both walls and ceilings.
Some assessed details and typical details for proprietary
treatment of penetrations are included. Additional
information can be found in relevant Gyprock installation
manuals, and refer to the appropriate product manufacturer.
