    CasoLine MF

    CasoLine MF concealed grid MF suspended ceiling system is

    a monolithic suspended ceiling system suitable for most

    internal dry lining applications. It is used in all types of

    commercial and industrial buildings, including institutional

    use areas such as schools and hospitals.

    The system comprises a concealed metal framework

    suspended from the structural soffit using strap hangers or

    angle section. Gypframe Acoustic Hangers can be used to

    suspend the grid from timber joists to maximise the degree

    of acoustic isolation. Gyproc boards are screw-fixed to the

    framework to form a ceiling lining with a seamless surface.

    CasoLine MF provides a robust suspended ceiling able to

    accept a degree of loading. The plenum is used to route

    ducting and other services and can be accessed by

    providing Gyproc Profilex access panels. Ventilation

    openings and other services can also be accommodated.

    Curved ceilings can be easily achieved using preformed

    Gypframe MF7 support components.

    Suspension from concrete soffitGypframe MF6 Perimeter Channel is fixed to the wall at

    maximum 600mm centres, and Gypframe MF12 Soffit Cleats

    secured to the soffit at 1200mm centres, using appropriate

    fixings. Gypframe MF8 Strap Hanger or Gypframe GA1 Steel

    Angles are pre-cut and secured to the soffit cleats with

    Gypframe MF11 Nut and Bolt. Alternatively, the GA1 angles

    can be fixed directly to the Soffit (see figure 10).

    Gypframe MF7 Primary Support Channels are installed over

    the Gypframe MF6 Perimeter Channels and secured to the

    hangers. Gypframe MF5 Ceiling Sections are run at right

    angles to the underside of primary channels to form the

    secondary grid. The ceiling sections are secured to the

    primary channels by Gypframe MF9 Connecting Clips.

    Boards are fixed to the secondary grid to form single or

    multi-layer linings as specified.

    Suspension from timber joistsThe procedure is as for concrete except that soffit cleats are

    not required – hangers are twice fixed directly to the side

    of the joists.

    Board fixingsBoard fixings for Gyproc, Glasroc F and Rigitone boards

    should be at 150mm centres at perimeters, 230mm centres

    within the field of the board.

    Board fixings for Gyptone boards should be at 230mm

    centres across perimeters and through the field of the board.

    INSTALLATION

    A special procedure is used for framing, fixing and

    jointing Rigitone and Gyptone boards. Detailed installation

    notes are given in the Installation Guide.

    For full installation details, refer to the Installation Guide at www.gypsum.ie

The suspended ceiling will also provide adequate protection to steel beams with a lower sectionfactor. For beams with a higher section factor, contact the Technical Sales Department for guidance.

    2 Board joints must be reinforced with Gyproc Paper Joint Tape for the quoted fire resistance periods to be achieved. Please refer to sectionfor full details.

    In the following tables the fire resistance and sound insulation performances are based on imperforate constructions using

    boards with all joints taped and filled according to Gypsum Industries’ recommendations. Isover insulation may be laid

    over the back of the ceiling grid, and does not detract from the fire performance of the floors. The quoted performances

    are achieved only if Gypsum Industries’ components are used throughout, and the Company’s fixing recommendations are

    strictly observed.

  • DESIGN

    Refer to section 6.1 Introduction, for general considerations.

    Cavity barriersWhere cavity barriers are required, these can be formedusing Gyproc FireLine (limited combustability) or Glasroc FMultiBoard (non-combustible) screw-fixed to a simplemetal or timber frame. The framing should be fixed to thestructure to avoid undue loading of the ceiling suspensiongrid or, alternatively, additional hangers should beincorporated to support the ceiling alongside the cavitybarrier. Refer to section 6.7 Cavity barriers.

    Ceiling lift Recent and proposed changes to Building RegulationsTechnical Guidance Document L, Conservation of Fuel andEnergy - Dwellings, with regard to the levels of air tightnessrequired within dwellings, may lead to differential airpressure in separate areas within a building. The ceiling isnormally the lightest fixed element in the room, and istherefore most likely to be affected by this change inpressure, particularly if a door or window is opened.

    This can cause the ceiling to lift slightly, which may create anoise. Whilst this noise can be annoying to the occupier, ithas no detrimental effect on the performance of the ceiling.

    The designer should consider incorporating a pressure releasesystem to minimise the risk of ceiling lift in rooms with nopermanent ventilation. Vents in the walls, doors or ceilingsmight be suitable. Where sufficient 'pressure relief' cannot bedesigned in, it is recommended that the Gypframe MF5Ceiling Section and the Gypframe MF7 Primary SupportChannel should be screw-fixed together using two GyprocWafer Head Jack-Point Screws at each intersection,particularly where non-perforated board linings are specified.

    Suspension – Gyproc and Gyptone linings Fixing points for suspending the metal grid are required at1200mm centres in each direction. Suitable fixing devices,e.g. Rawl Hammer In Fixing, should be employed whenfixing to the structure. These should be non-combustible,e.g. Rawl Rawlok Sleeve Anchor, when the ceiling isrequired to provide fire protection. The ceiling grid can besuspended from a concrete soffit using Gypframe MF12Soffit Cleats and Gypframe MF8 Strap Hanger, oralternatively, Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle. The latter providesa more robust suspension support which restricts any flexingof the lining when pressure is applied from below.Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle is thus the preferred suspensionoption when a plaster finish is specified to Gyproc boards.

    If Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle is used it can, if preferred, befixed directly to the soffit rather than via MF12 Soffit Cleats.The angle is cut and bent to fit as shown in Fig 10. Forsingle layer boarding, where GA1 Steel Angle is fixed direct,the MF7 Primary Support Channel and GA1 Steel Angles arefixed at 1200mm centres. For typical double layer ceilingsthe GA1 Steel Angles are fixed at max. 1200mm centres,but the MF7s are closed down to 900mm max. centres.

    EnvironmentalCasoLine MF is unsuitable for use in areas subject to

    continuously damp or humid conditions.

    Plasterboards are not suitable for use in temperatures

    above 49ºC but can be subjected to freezing conditions

    without risk of damage.

    Fire protectionFor reaction to fire classifications for Gyproc and Glasrocboards please refer to Section .

    Fire resistanceThe fire resistances quoted are for imperforate ceilingstested to BS 476: Part 8: 1972, or BS 476: Parts 21 and 22:1987, or Part 23: 1987, or assessments based on these tests.

    Sound insulationThe airborne and impact sound ratings quoted are forimperforate ceilings and have been tested in accordancewith BS EN ISO 140-3: 1995, and rated in accordance withBS EN ISO 717-1: 1997. The tests on ceiling/partitioncombinations in Table 8 were treated as site tests.

    Airtightness is essential for optimum sound insulation. While most junctions will be sealed with standard jointingmaterials, gaps at the perimeter of the floor and ceiling,and other small airpaths, can be sealed using GyprocSealant. The sound insulation data quoted was measured inthe absence of flanking transmission. The performanceof the floor in practice will generally be governed byflanking transmission.

    Gyptone and Rigitone boards are perforated and aredesigned to provide acoustic correction. Where soundinsulation room to room is required, sound attenuation(Dncw) of 39dB can be achieved with the inclusion of 100mmIsover Modular Roll over the back of the ceiling.Alternatively, other design considerations should beadopted such as extending adjoining partitions into theplenum void or installing a plenum barrier.

    Sound absorptionGyptone and Rigitone boards provide sound absorptionwhen used in conjunction with an air space behind theceiling. Tests have been carried out to BS EN 20354: 1993and ISO 354: 1985. Increased levels of sound absorption canbe achieved by including insulation over the back of theceiling. For full details regarding the performance of theGyproc Ceilings Range, please refer to our Ceilings Guide.

    Water vapour controlWhere there is a requirement for a vapour control layer,Duplex grade boards should be specified as the face layer(i.e. the second layer in double layer linings). Theapplication of two coats of Gyproc Drywall Sealer to theface lining will also provide vapour control.

    Thermal propertiesIsover insulation can be laid over the suspension grid toprovide the required standard of thermal insulation.

    Gypframe Acoustic Hangers can be used to suspend thegrid from timber joists to maximise the degree of acousticisolation (see Fig 12). In a comparative test a 3dBimprovement in airborne sound insulation and a 6dBimprovement in impact sound insulation were achieved.Refer to Table 7, Constructions 4 and 6 , relating todouble layer Gyproc SoundBloc linings.

    With concrete floors the high mass of the constructionmeans that high levels of acoustic performance can beachieved when the CasoLine MF ceiling is suspended byconventional means i.e. strap hangers or angle section.

    Suspension – Rigitone linings The Gypframe MF7 Primary Support Channels are fixed at1000mm centres. Suspension points to the structure for theMF7’s are required at 900mm centres. Suitable Rawl fixingdevices should be employed when fixing to the structure.The ceiling grid can be suspended from a concrete soffitusing Gypframe MF12 Soffit Cleats and Gypframe MF8Strap Hanger, or alternatively, Gypframe GA1 Steel Angle.

    Suspension of CasoLine MF from engineered I joistsPlease contact the joist manufacturer for advice.

    Partition to suspended ceiling junctionTests on lightweight constructions have revealed thefollowing:–

    1. In situations where a GypWall metal stud partition, whichmust be securely fixed to the structure, penetrates CasoLineMF, the structural performance of the partition can be basedon the floor to suspended ceiling height irrespective of theconstruction. Therefore, lightweight partitions which arerequired for space division in tall storey heights will besignificantly strengthened by the ceiling system. WhereCasoLine MF is installed on one side of the partition, only aslight loss of flexural strength will occur when any loading isapplied on the ceiling side of the partition.

    2. The structural performance of a GypWall metal studpartition fixed to the framework of a CasoLine MF ceiling,or to noggings cut from Gypframe MF5 Ceiling Section setat 600mm centres, is equal to the performance of a metalstud partition of the same height fixed direct to thestructural soffit.

    Imposed loadsTables 9, 10 and 11 provide loading data for the suspensiongrid for Gyproc, Gyptone and Rigitone boards respectively,based on a limiting deflection factor of L/400.

    * Maximum loads should be reduced by 25% if GypframeGA1 Steel Angles are fixed directly to the soffit.

    ServicesThe plenum can be used to route all service requirementsincluding ducting, pipework, electrical cables and conduit.Where lighting fittings, Gyproc Profilex access panels andsimilar components are incorporated as part of the designrequirements, consideration must be given to maintainingthe integrity of the ceiling to meet fire resistance andsound insulation requirements. Where Gyproc access panelsare required they can be installed as shown in Fig 4. Refer to section 8.4 - Gyproc Profilex Access Panels.

    The installation of services should be in accordance with allavailable standards, guidelines and recommendations.

    Fixtures / Fixings

    Fixings to the system should always be made into the metalgrid or to supplementary framing. Some adjustment of theprimary grid may be required to support particularly heavyloads, see Tables 9, 10 and 11. Where loads outside thisrange are anticipated, independent suspension should beprovided from the structure.

    Control jointsGyproc Control Joints may be required in the ceiling torelieve stresses induced by expansion and contraction of thestructure. The location of the control joints is at thediscretion of the specifier. It is recommended that theycoincide with movement joints within thesurrounding structure.

    Rigitone expansion jointsRigitone boards should be cut 10mm short of the perimeterwall and should not be fixed to the perimeter channel, seeFigs 7 and 8. Expansion joints should be included in theceiling, one 10mm expansion joint should be included every10m of ceiling in each direction, and where there is anexpansion joint within the surrounding structure.

    FinishingRefer to section 1.5 Finishing Coat Plasters, section 2.2Jointing, and section 2.5 Decorative effects.

    Additional care and attention should be exercised whenjointing Gyptone and Rigitone boards so as not to fill theperforations and impair the acoustic performance ofthe finished ceiling.

    Estimating – Gyproc / Gyptone liningsThe estimated construction time is 1.5m2 / man hour (singlelayer ceiling) or 1m2 / hour (double layer ceiling) readyfor finishing.

    Estimating – Rigitone liningsThe estimated construction time is 0.75m2 / man hour readyfor decoration.
