can be made available on request from USG Boral.

NOTES:
• Various system certifications are valid only when the
relevant systems are constructed in accordance with
USG Boral specifications and using the stated materials
and components. Fastening should be of the same type and
at centres no greater than detailed for particular systems.
• While USG Boral systems are certified to achieve the stated
fire resistance and acoustic ratings, it is the responsibility
of the relevant project consultant to ensure that the
selected systems satisfy project requirements.
• Acoustic ratings provided are based on laboratory tests
carried out under ideal conditions. In-situ performance
may experience some variation from stated ratings due
to flanking effects.

WALL CONSTRUCTION NOTES

• Steel stud wall systems are non load bearing unless
noted otherwise.
• Wall systems should not be used where conditions of
constant excessive moisture or humidity are prevalent
ie, in excess of 90% relative humidity.
• Movement joints should be put at building construction
joint locations. Control joints should be spaced at not
more than 12 metre maximum centres.
• All approved fire rated penetrations must be installed
and caulked in accordance with details provided in
this manual. Components by others must be installed
in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and
test reports.
• Fire rated systems must be assembled strictly in
accordance with relevant test reports, opinions,
approved system details and specifications.
• Steel Studs in fire rated partitions are not to be fastened
to top and bottom tracks except boxed studs facing
fire door openings, in which case the boxed studs are
pop riveted to the tracks.
• Steel wall framing must be constructed to Rondo
specifications and spaced at 600mm centres maximum.
• Components must not be used if fractured or damaged.
• Butt joints to be backed by stud or nogging for

DESIGN OPTIONS FURRING CHANNELS AND FIXING CLIPS

Timber stud wall systems outlined in this manual provide Rondo 129 Furring Channel and 237 Fixing Clip are used
Designers and Builders with a wide range of options to suit in Furred Systems:
project specific requirements in regard to fire rating, acoustic
isolation, water resistance and impact resistance. A large
number of hybrid systems have been included, providing
cost effective solutions where impact and/or water resistance
requirements differ on each side of the wall.

Timber Stud Wall Systems are available in non-fire rated

configurations with acoustic ratings up to Rw+Ctr=50
(Rw=59) and in fire rated configurations with Fire Resistance
Levels up to 120/120/120 and acoustic ratings up to
Rw+Ctr=60 (Rw=68). Figure D1: Rondo 129 Furring Channel and 237 Fixing Clip

- Acoustic ratings based on nom. 700mm plenum depth.
- For continuous ceilings, junction of wall to suspended ceiling to be acoustically sealed.
- For continuous or discontinuous ceilings, no acoustical treatment required to shadowline stopping angle at head of wall.
- Other acceptable materials (ie. barium loaded vinyl) can be used in lieu of a plasterboard barrier in ceiling space.
- Insulation blankets must not be in direct contact with mineral fibre panels and must be supported by the suspension system only
- Insulation batts can be laid directly on mineral fibre panels only to the extent required in the above over partition systems and provided that the batts are the same size as the panels.

-Outline of Climate Zones
-Definition of a building envelope for the purposes of thermal design
-Thermal construction compliance and installation requirements
-Adjustments of minimum R-values for roofs and ceilings to account for loss of ceiling insulation due to exhaust fans, flues, recessed downlights, etc
-Reduction of minimum R-value requirements for external walls to account for their thermal mass, orientation, shading and composition.

WET AREAS
Wet areas as defined in BCA is an area within a building
supplied with water from a water supply system and includes
bathrooms, showers, laundries and sanitary compartments.

According to BCA, building elements in wet areas must

be waterproof or water resistant depending on the

acoustic performance of the system in order to achieve the
minimum acoustic provisions of the BCA.

Consideration should be given to the possibility of occupants

changing floor coverings from one type to another that may
affect the acoustic performance of the total system. For
instance, replacing carpet with timber or another type of
floor covering (eg tiles, linoleum), may result in a reduction
in acoustic performance that no longer meets the minimum
acoustic provisions of the BCA.

If required, contact USG Boral for advice on a suitable floor

system where the contribution of floor coverings is not an
integral part of meeting the acoustic provisions of the BCA.

Appliances
Noise producing appliances such as dishwashers, clothes
dryers, washing machines and pumps should not be affixed
to separating walls or should be isolated from the structure
with resilient mountings and flexible service leads and

such as recessed light fittings, electrical outlets and supply

associated detailing of these penetrations for fire rating
purposes will also provide an adequate acoustic seal ensuring
that the acoustic integrity of the system is maintained.

• Insulation must be laid over the entire ceiling either side
of the wall and must be either minimum 90mm thick

11kg/m3 (R2.5 ceiling batt).
• The plasterboard ceiling must not be continuous over
the separating wall.
• In the case where ceiling members/roof trusses run
perpendicular over the party wall, the ceiling on both
sides must be fixed via steel furring channel on Rondo

sound.
• Ceiling penetrations such as A/C ducts and recessed

NOTES:
The following instructions must be followed to achieve satisfactory results:
- Care should be taken to isolate copper pipes away from contact with steel framing to avoid problems with corrosion.
- Plasterboard linings are not to act as supports for piping.
- Piping is to be kept clear of face sheets and baffles.
- Ensure that baffles protect the areas immediately behind wall penetrations.
- Pipes are to penetrate one face only of the partition between any two wall studs.
- Total area of all openings between any two wall studs must be no greater than 5000mm2
