A light partition wall is made of a system of metal horizontal and vertical sections (50, 75, 100mm) with attached 12.5 mm (15, 18, 20, 25mm) plasterboards. The following plasterboard types can be used: regular, fire resistant, impregnated, impregnated and fire resistant. The supporting structure can hold a single or double layer of plasterboard on either side. The standard spacing of vertical sections is 600 (400, 300) mm.
The supporting structure can be single (one row of metal sections) or double (two, separated rows of metal sections).
Glasswool fills the light plasterboard stud structure, providing better acoustic, thermal and fire protection.
Guidelines for installing URSA® glasswool in light stud walls:
Step 1
Fill the space between studs tightly with wool.
Step 2
The thickness of the URSA® glasswool, due to its elasticity, must be smaller than the section size; e.g. for a 75mm stud use panels or felts that do not exceed 60mm.
Step 3
The elasticity and small weight prevent the wool from settling in walls. Vertical sections, which ensure the rigidity of the stud structure, indirectly support panels and felts at heights up to 9m.
Step 4
The sound insulation parameters of a partition wall depend on the structure of the adjacent partitions, careful installation and technical details (for example, the cross-section cannot include two cable boxes).
Step 5
The URSA®TRS mineral glasswool insulation tape is fitted between the steel sections and the vertical and horizontal partitions adjoining the stud wall (otherwise, the acoustic insulation parameters decrease by 2 to 3dB).
