Deflection Head & Bottom Tracks

The main function of the ceiling and floor tracks is to hold the studs in
position until the board is fitted. They provide a friction fit for the studs
and also act as a slip joint to allow for any movement in the structure.
The track sections come in two basic profiles. A standard track has a
nominal 32mm flange whilst the deflection head track has a nominal
50mm flange. However, head tracks with wider flange are available but
they have to be specially designed for instances where clearance for
expansion at the head track exceeds 20mm.
No clearance for expansion is applicable at the head track for a loadbearing partition. Track sections should be fixed at maximum 610mm
intervals to the supporting structure. Fixings should be located not more than 100mm from either end of the track section.
Vertical Studs
The recommended Rondo studs come in 0.50mm, 0.55mm, 0.75mm and 1.15mm. The 0.50mm to 0.75mm
studs have standard 25mm bell-mouthed service holes for electrical cabling. For the 1.15mm stud, round
holes are punched at designated centres along the stud.
Spliced extensions are possible in situations where the overall height of the partition is more than the stud
length. The 0.50mm to 0.75mm studs may be boxed and the 1.15mm studs may be spliced back to back.
For greater rigidity at fire resistant glazing and door openings, and also at locations where extra load carrying
capacity is required, studs of 0.50mm to 0.75mm may be boxed and studs of 1.15mm may be fixed back to
back. See guide below on spliced studs and stiffening framing.

Nogging Track
Noggings are necessary to provide bracing to the partition studs and preventing the studs from twisting when fitting the lining boards. The
noggings are to be screwed, rivetted or crimped to both flanges of the studs. Continuous nogging tracks 0.55mm and 0.75mm are available from
Rondo. This nogging track can be fitted to the stud framing in one length. Alternatively, individual noggings may be cut from the track. Noggings
of 0.75mm can be used with 1.15mm studs.

Timber Frame Components

p late
Timber has very good performance in fire. It does burn but at a
relatively slow and to a predictable depth known as the charring rate.
This is one major advantage of using timber over steel because the
fire resistance of timber elements of construction may be calculated
based on a predictable charring rate.
Timber also has a very low thermal conductivity value and hence does
not heat uniformly. Therefore, timber material a few millimetres inside
the burning zone is just warm. The formation of a self insulating char
provides some resistance to further heat penetration. Studs and cross noggings
Unlike materials with a high thermal conductivity such as steel, there
are less problems associated with expansion or loss of strength due to
increases in temperature over the whole section in timber. This means that
in some instances timber retains its structural integrity better than steel.
There are many different types of timbers and they all char at varying
rates. Higher density timbers char generally (but not always) more
slowly than those of lower density. Denser hardwoods used for
structural purposes, such as jarrah, teak, keruing and greenheart,
char at a rate of approximately 15mm in 30 minutes. Lower density
te

Tables are available which can provide a definitive charring rate for a

sapwood of the given species.
Studs & Cross Noggings

deep x 45mm wide softwood timber. The fire performance of the
partition system accounts for the loss of the timber section due to
charring effect without compromising the fire performance of the
partition.
Where the boards are to be installed with their long edges vertical, the
studs are located at maximum 600mm or 610mm centres (depending
on the board width) with cross noggings at 1200mm or 1220mm
centres. Where the boards are to be installed with their long edges
Step one Step two horizontal, the studs are located at 600mm or 610mm centres with
cross noggings at 1200mm or 1220mm centres.
Cross nogging method 2 The cross noggings may be fixed to the studs using nails or
woodscrews of at least 100mm long. See fixing methods at left. Either
method can be adopted to fix the cross noggings.
Top & Floor Plates

The top and floor plates are to be of the same material and dimensions
as the studs. They are to be secured to the surrounding structure
with minimum 100mm long M6 masonry anchors at nominal 600mm
Step one Step two centres with the drilled depth into the concrete structure of at least
40mm. Polyamide nylon anchor sleeves may be allowed for use with
timber framing.
The vertical studs are fixed to the top and floor plates using either
FLOOR PLATE FIXING nails or woodscrews of at least 100mm long in the manner shown in
the left picture.
Loadbearing Partition
Where a partition is loadbearing, the required size of the stud shall
be calculated by a suitably qualified structural engineer. Care should
be taken to ensure that the loadbearing partition has been designed
to resist all applied loads and in accordance with BS 5268: Part 4,
AS 1720: Part 1 or AS 1684. Generally, the fire performance and the
load carrying capacity will improve by increasing the cross-sectional
dimensions of the timber elements and/or decreasing the stud spacing.

shelving etc can easily be installed to PROMATECT and PROMINA®
walls or partition systems.
Typical technical details include the following:
• Planned loads up to 25kg (e.g. cabinets and wash basins) can be

easily added by fixing horizontal noggins made of timber members
at the desired location and securing to the steel stud frame.
• Unplanned loads up to 5kg (e.g. hanging picture frames, for
example) can be added by inserting the screw or cavity fixture Front view
inclined downward at the appropriate angle, as shown above.
• For planned loads up to 25kg, horizontal noggins can be fixed to the
surface of the board via two additional studs and fixing the load to
the strengthening horizontal noggin.
• Fittings and fixtures such as lights and switchs are easily fixed to
®
PROMATECT and PROMINA® drywalls. Please refer to page 19 for Reverse view
the recommendations.
