INSTALLATION 7 Form the door header by using a piece of GTEC U Track. The length should be equal to the width of the door frame plus a minimum of 300mm in order to allow 150mm at each end to be cut and folded down. 8 Secure header onto GTEC C Studs using a crimping tool or GTEC Wafer Head Self Tapping screws. This detail applies to all door frame assembly alternatives. See step 5. 9 Install all intermediate GTEC C Studs. Cut the GTEC C Studs 5mm shorter than the floor to ceiling height to allow for floor variations. Insert the GTEC C Studs into the GTEC U Tracks and twist to lock. The intermediate GTEC C Studs should all face the same way. They should not be fixed to GTEC U Tracks in order to allow for adjustment when fixing plasterboards. 30 THE INSTALLATION HANDBOOK 2008
10 Form as required, one of the following alternative timber background constructions for fixing door frames: (a) Fix a 38mm x 38mm timber insert into back of door frame GTEC C Studs and header. Secure using GTEC High Thread screws through face of the GTEC C Stud into the timber. (b) Fix a timber subframe to the face of the door frame GTEC C Studs and header using GTEC Self Tapping screws. 11 Install door frame into position and secure by screwing through the door frame into one of the alternative background constructions above using GTEC Self Tapping screws. Ensure that the screws penetrate each of the components forming the background constructions. To retain sound integrity, apply a 6mm continuous bead of GTEC Intumescent Acoustic Sealant around perimeter of the metal framing, before applying the wall boarding. 12 Install plasterboard to one side of the partition. Cut the plasterboard 5mm to 8mm shorter than the floor-to-ceiling height, butt firmly against the ceiling and fix with GTEC Self-Tapping screws at 300mm centres. Note: Use GTEC Self Drilling screws for GTEC Universal Board partitions. THE INSTALLATION HANDBOOK 2008 31
