Reaction to fireThe exposed surface of Gyptone

tiles, planks and boards achieve Class 0

rating when tested to BS 476: Parts 6 and 7.

Under Building Regulations Part B 2000

-Amendment 2002, the exposed

surfaces of Gyptone tiles, planks and

boards are designated Euroclass B.

Gyptone ceilings provide good fire

performance owing to the unique

behaviour of the non-combustible

gypsum core when subjected to high

temperatures.

Gypsum board is designated a material

of ‘limited combustibility’ within

Building Regulations 1991.

Acoustic performanceSound absorption

Gyptone QUATTRO, POINT and LINE provide

sound absorption when used in

conjunction with an air space behind the

ceiling.

Tests have been carried out to

BS EN 20354: 1993 and ISO 354: 1985

with a range of plenum depths .

LimitationsGyptone tiles, planks and boards are

unsuitable for use in areas subject to

continuously damp or humid

conditions or subjected to

temperatures consistently above 49°C.

They can be exposed to freezing

temperatures without risk of damage.

EnvironmentGyptone tiles, planks and boards

are suitable for use under normal

occupancy conditions. Buildings in

which Gyptone is used should be dry,

glazed and enclosed with

environmental conditions of no

greater than 70% relative humidity at

10-20°C.

Handling and storageBritish Gypsum fully accepts its

responsibilities as a supplier of

building materials and systems as

required by Section 6 of the Health

and Safety at Work Act 1974. However,

in designing and installing systems

incorporating British Gypsum products,

full consideration must be taken of the

legal requirements of:

1 Manual Handling Operations

Regulations 1992.

2 Construction (Design and

Management) Regulations 1994.

3 Control of Substances Hazardous to

Health Regulations 1988 (COSHH).

Your attention is brought to the

following publications which give

approved guidance:

1 Manual Handling Guidance on

Regulations, ISBN 0 11 886335 5.

2 Managing Construction for Health

and Safety ACOP, ISBN 0 7 7176 0792 5.

Increased levels of sound absorption

can be achieved by including glass

mineral wool over the back of the

ceiling.

The single figure rating practical sound

absorption coefficients αw , shown in

tables on pages 4 - 12 are calculated in

accordance with EN ISO 11654: 1997.

The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC )

figures shown in tables on pages 4 - 12,

are calculated in accordance with

ASTM C423 -90a: 1992.

Sound attenuation

Gyptone QUATTRO, POINT and LINE are

perforated tiles, planks and boards with

an integral acoustic tissue designed to

provide sound absorption within the

area they are installed. Where room-to-

room sound insulation is required the

sound attenuation Dncw can be

increased to 39dB with the inclusion of

100mm Isowool General Purpose Roll

over the back of the ceiling.

Alternatively, other design

considerations can be adopted such as

extending adjoining partitions into the

ceiling void or installing a plenum

barrier.

Gyptone BASE is an unperforated

product and has been tested to

BS EN 20140-9: 1994 for room-to-room

sound insulation.

All products quote a PSR number. This

is a unique number we allocate to all

products and systems that references all

the latest substantiations we hold. By

quoting these figures on enquiries

about the product, we are able to give

you the most accurate and up to date

advice and information.

SiteworkInstallation

Gyptone boards are fixed to CasoLine MF

or CasoLine CURVE systems. A range of

access panels are available that allow

access to the ceiling void.

Gyptone D1 edge tiles are installed into

CasoLine T24 D1 grid, and Gyptone

planks are installed into CasoLine T15p

grid systems.

Gyptone A and E15 edge tiles are

installed in a 15mm or 24mm grid. The

designer should ensure the system used

is capable of supporting the tile load.

All ceiling tiles and planks are fully

demountable, allowing access to the

ceiling void.

For full installation details, please refer

to White Book and SiteBook sections

c10 - CasoLine MF, c10.1 - CasoLine

CURVE and c12 - CasoLine GRID.

Fixtures

Spot lights and downlighters are best

located in Gyptone BASE or in the

unperforated zones of other Gyptone

designs.

Maintenance

Gyptone can be cleaned using a damp

cloth. Most standard mild detergents

can be used.

Gyptone can be re-decorated, if

required, using a roller and a suitable

emulsion paint. The perforated tiles

should not be spray painted as this may

impair the sound absorption

performance.

Finishing Gyptone boards
