Floors & Ceilings
Floors and ceilings
Ceiling Systems meet the performance requirements of many different types of building and locations within the building. Strength, fire, thermal, sound and vapour permeability can all be simply adjusted. Ceiling Systems combine speed of installation with ease of levelling and alignment. By selecting the appropriate system, MF, C-Form I or C-Form II, and using the correct type and number of layers of plasterboard, a wide range of design requirements can be satisfied.
Lafarge GTEC Acoustic Floor is a highly efficient means of creating a fully floated construction offering excellent protection against airborne and impact sound transfer. This makes it the preferred choice for multi-occupancy dwellings, particularly refurbishments. All work can be undertaken from above allowing intricate ceiling designs in older properties to be retained whilst achieving modern performance standards.
As a ceiling lining GTEC Dryliner is fixed directly to the existing concrete soffit allowing a cavity width between soffit and plasterboard lining ranging from 25mm to 130mm.
Plasterboard ceilings on timber framing are typically for domestic applications, the plasterboards being attached directly to the underside of floor joists, the bottom chords of the roof trusses or rafters. They allow upgrading of a basic ceiling construction, whether new or existing, to provide fire resistance as required.
A range of robust solutions to comply with Part E regulations and robust standard details for separating floors between dwellings.
GTEC M.F. Suspended Ceilings are typically for commercial applications. Ceiling height may be varied to accommodate services, ducting etc. They provide a high performance ceiling and can be used to upgrade and protect existing structures. They are compatible with GTEC Partitioning systems. They provide a flush finish suitable for direct decoration or textured finish.
