Partitions
Partitions are non-loadbearing systems comprising LPL plasterboards screw-fixed to a steel or timber frame using dryling techniques. The range cover all application providing simple place division trough to high performance wall design
Masonry separating walls remain by far the most common construction method within the housebuilding market. However, in conjunction with Lafarge drywall systems the overall performance with regard to thermal and sound, as well as the speed of completion, can be greatly improved.
Timber stud partitions are frequently used in timber-frame houses, in small renovation projects and in home extensions where they may be load bearing or non-load bearing, depending on specification. Plasterboard can be screw fixed to timber, which offers superior performance and limits the risk of nail popping caused by the timber subframe drying out. Alternatively plasterboard can be nailed directly to the timber.
Lafarge GTEC metal stud partitions are strong, high performance systems which are cost effective, lightweight, versatile, quick to erect and able to achieve high levels of fire resistance and acoustic insulation.
Structrual steel frame techique has been used to build offices and multi-storey buildings for many years now and are now commonly used for building apartment blocks.
