Intrastack, in conjunction with British Gypsum and Isover is offering GypLyner Xternal, a complete Saint-Gobain through-wall system now available for use with its steel structural framing system (SFS).
Delivering fire and thermal performance for multi-storey projects, this complete, tested infill solution simplifies the route to specification with all components from Saint-Gobain.
All plasterboard, light gauge steel frame, insulation and sheathing board are supplied as one infill system, which, when constructed together, can provide the primary fire resistance and weather tightness of the external wall.
GypLyner Xternal is covered by the Saint-Gobain full system warranty combining SpecSure Warranty and Intrastack design-life up to 250-years.
Specifying as a complete system means that performance data evidences how all of the components work together. This gives customers confidence at design stage that if assembled correctly, the building will perform as designed.
For example, GypLyner Xternal provides thermal performance through a range of insulation solutions. Fire testing delivers fire resistance to BS-EN 1364-1 for 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
Andy Higson, Business Director at Intrastack added: "On busy multi-storey construction projects, our customers need time-saving solutions that do not compromise on performance. The GypLyner Xternal through-wall system is now available with our Intrastack Steel Framing SFS components to help deliver the certainty required. This includes thermal and fire performance that meets current guidelines, backed with full supply-chain traceability.”
The non-loadbearing SFS infill system comprises a 20mm deflection head with one layer of Glasroc X Sheathing Board to the external side and two layers of Gyproc SoundBloc 15mm to the internal side of 100mm of Intrastack SFS framework. 50mm of Isover Acoustic Partition Roll (APR 1200) is used in the cavity.
