ShaftWall
ShaftWall
ShaftWall provides a lightweight, fire resistant
60 120
structure to protect elements in confined spaces mins

wherever access is limited to one side only.

The system provides a protective structure which 38 52


RwdB
can be incorporated at an early stage of the
construction without the need for scaffolding.

The system can also be built horizontally to Refer to C01. S01. P08

Specialist partitions
provide a fire rated membrane.

Key benefits
— Horizontal membranes are built entirely from below
— A ShaftWall variant with non-combustible

C05
Glasroc F firecase board linings is available
— High level commonality with GypWall partition
components, particularly 70mm stud solutions
— Higher certainty of installed acoustic performance
due to laboratory tests incorporating deflection heads
— Can be used where access is limited to one side at
the head, e.g. M & E cages already installed in corridors

The fire resistance and sound insulation performances are for imperforate partitions, but incorporating deflection heads, with all joints taped and filled,
or skimmed according to Gyproc’s recommendations. The quoted performances are achieved only if Gyproc and Isover components are used throughout, and
the Company’s fixing recommendations are strictly observed. Any variation in the specifications should be checked with Gyproc.

Gypframe Extra Deep Flange Floor & Ceiling Channel or Gypframe ‘J’ Channel should be used at the head. For the base Gypframe Folded Edge Standard
Floor & Ceiling Channel should be used for heights up to 4200mm, Gypframe Deep Flange Floor & Ceiling Channel should be used for heights between

These tables give the limiting heights for ShaftWall systems when subjected to air pressures ranging from 200 Pa through to 650 Pa and at three allowable
deflection levels - L/125, L/240, L/360. Partition heights are normally quoted for air pressures of 200 Pa at an allowable deflection of L/240.

When the fire performance of ShaftWall is specified in terms of EN 1364-1: 1999, then the maximum height cannot exceed that given in the relevant table in
this book, irrespective of air pressure or allowable deflection.
