<strong>FERMACELL</strong><strong>Dry</strong> <strong>Lining</strong>On metal firringsDescription.<strong>FERMACELL</strong> is a high performance,multipurpose building board thatcombines in a single product exceptionalfire, impact and moisture resistantproperties with high levels of acousticinsulation and weight carrying capacity.The simple squeegee-applied FSTfinishing system eliminates plasteringtrades and dries in 30 minutes.Specification and Use.<strong>FERMACELL</strong> is a dense, homogenous,square edged board that is butt-jointedusing <strong>FERMACELL</strong> Jointstik adhesive.The board is fixed to proprietary metalfirrings. <strong>FERMACELL</strong> recommendProtektor studwork, which is availablefrom Cornercare (01562 515200).Alternatively, <strong>FERMACELL</strong> may bemounted on to s/w timber battens(50 mm x 30 mm nominal) using<strong>FERMACELL</strong> screws or resinated,galvanised staples.Full installation details are given inthe <strong>FERMACELL</strong> Instruction Manual.NBS specifications and Autocaddrawings are also available.Notes.When dry lining, <strong>FERMACELL</strong>recommend that metal firrings are fixedto the wall first, and then the board isfixed to the firrings. The use of dot anddab as a dry lining method is specificallynot recommended for several reasons:the exceptional weight carrying capacityof <strong>FERMACELL</strong> may cause the adhesivebond to fail, and this method of buildingis not suited to the edge jointingadhesive system. The use of firringsadds little to the wall depth and providesa useful service cavity.Where greater levels of thermalinsulation are required, insulationboards may be sandwiched between thefiriings and the wall.Metal firrings may be fixed to the wallon plaster dabs. In this latter instance,a mechanical backup (frame anchors orsimilar) must be used.Alternatively, metal firrings may besubstituted by timber battens. Thesemay be fixed to the wall using frameanchors. <strong>FERMACELL</strong> may be fixed totimber battens using <strong>FERMACELL</strong>screws or resinated, galvanised staples.A vapour barrier should be installedwhere necessary.
