Introduction
C SR G yprock has developed a w ide range of decorative
ceiling system s as w ell as a large selection of fire and/or
acoustic rated ceiling system s to m eet specific FR L (Fire
R esistance Level), R w (W eighted Sound R eduction Index)
and Sound Absorption requirem ents.
C SR G yprock offers both Flush Jointed C eiling System s and
Panel C eiling System s.
G yprock
Flush Jointed C eiling System s utilise G yprock

plasterboard sheet w hich is fixed to appropriately prepared
fram ing. P lasterboard joints are taped and setto form
a sm ooth flush jointedcontinuous ceiling suitable for
painting.
G yprock
Flush Jointed C eiling S ystem s are suitable

for virtually all interior dom estic and com m ercial ceiling
applications and can be installed under roof or floor fram ing.
W here a level of finish is specified, refer to AS2589.1 for
additional fram ing and fixing requirem ents.
Specific ceiling system s are available for decorative, acoustic
and fire rated applications. Advantages include:
Flush jointing gives a sm ooth, seam less, easily decorated
finish.
System s available for decorative, acoustic rated and fire
rated application.
S uitable for use under a w ide range of roof and floor
structures.
Perm it flexible location of internal non-loadbearing w alls.
Surface or flush m ounted light fittings can be used.
Fire rated ceilings provide protection for services m ounted
above the ceiling, and can accom m odate air conditioning
ducts and dam pers, bulkheads and access panels.
Panel C eiling System s com prise G yprock
Plasterboard
C eiling Panels, C SR Ecophon Panels, U SG C eiling Panels or
C SR Fricker C eiling Tiles. These panels are generally placed
in a tw o-w ay grid w hich is suspended below floor or roof
fram ing. Ecophon panels are also available to fix directly to
battens or existing plasterboard ceilings.
G yprock Plasterboard C eiling Panels have a plasterboard
core, and are used as decorative linings in com m ercial
applications. They can also be used in system s to reduce
the transfer of noise over partitions.
U SG C eiling Panels Panels have a m ineral fibre core w hich
provides m oderate to high levels of acoustic absorption.
They are available in a variety of surface textures and edge
details.
C S R Ecophon
P anels have a glassw ool core, and are

used w here high levels of acoustic absorption are required.
They are available in a variety of edge details for exposed,
concealed or sem i-concealed support grids.
P anel ceiling system s are suitable for non fire rated
applications only. System s detailed in this guide are non-
trafficable, although a trafficable ceiling is available from
R ondo B uilding Services.

Ceiling Systems
Introduction
C SR G FC has developed a w ide range of tested fire and/
or acoustic ceiling system s utilising steel fram ing and
plasterboard fixed to one or both sides.
These system s are m ost com m only specified above stairw ells
and corridors, and under concrete floors w here personnel
access is not required.
This section also details m ethods for constructing isolated
bulkheads utilising steel furring channel fram ing.
Frame Requirements
R efer to the Fram ing section for the general requirem ents on
steel fram e construction.
All systems detailed in this section are non-trafficable,
and are designed to carry the weight of the ceiling only.
The ceiling framing must be strengthened to support
light fittings and services.
Ceilings Lined
One Side
J oist Selection
Steel joists for ceilings lined one side can be selected based
on Table 7, w hich provides span inform ation for R ondo
Lipped Steel Stud sections w hen used as ceiling joists.
J oist End Support
R efer to follow ing pages for alternative ceiling joist end
support configurations and recom m ended construction
m ethods.
Nogging/Bridging
W here joist span exceeds 2.50m , one row of nogging/
bridging is required at m id span.
W here joist span exceeds 4.00m , tw o row s of nogging/
bridging are required at equal spacings.
Control J oints
C ontrol joints are to be installed in both fire rated and non-fire
rated continuous interior ceiling areas, spaced at no m ore
than 12m centres in both directions, and as detailed in the
Fram ing section earlier in this guide.
Align ceiling joists with wall
studs (or provide heavier
gauge wall angle/track
support)
Bridging/Nogging (use
track, stud or nogging
section) fixed to joists
Fix wall track to structural

Framing Installation
R efer to FIG Z901, Z902, Z903, Z904 and Z905 for alternative
fram e assem bly m ethods.
Install steel track w ith the low er flange aligned at the
required ceiling height and fix at ends and at 600m m
m axim um centres betw een.
To m asonry, use pow er driven fasteners, expansion
anchors, or easy drive m asonry anchors.
To steel stud fram ing, use G yprock type SScrew s, toggle
bolts or expandable fasteners.
To tim ber fram ing, use G yprock C louts or G yprock type
W Screw s.
C ut and install ceiling joists (lipped steel stud) into tracks,
leaving a 5 10m m gap at each end (8 15m m for
fire rated ceilings). Fix as indicated for the appropriate
installation m ethod.
N O TE: For alternative fram e construction m ethods or for
m ulti-span applications, refer to R ondo literature.
Plasterboard Installation
G Y P R O C K plasterboard can be installed in any of the
m ethods detailed in this guide w hich are appropriate for the
type of ceiling being constructed. R efer to appropriate details

Plasterboard
Fixing
G yprock plasterboard sheets should be installed w ith the
long edge at right angles to the direction of the fram ing to
w hich they are fixed.
Fire rated installations m ust be fastener fixed. Adhesive is
not perm itted.
Adhesive does not constitute a fixing system by itself and
m ust be used in conjunction w ith nails or screw s.
A dhesive daubs m ust be kept 200m m m inim um from
fastening points.
Fasteners are to be installed at 10 - 16m m from sheet
edges.
Sheets are to be held firm ly against fram e w hile fasteners
are positioned. W herever possible com m ence fastening
from the centre portion of the sheet, proceeding to the ends
and edges. Alternatively, start at one edge and w ork across
the sheet to the other edge.
Fasteners are to be driven hom e w ith the head slightly
below the surface of the sheet, but not punched through
the face linerboard. C are should be taken to avoid
dam aging the face or core of the plasterboard.
Plasterboard m ust not be fixed directly to steel thicknesses
greater than 1.2m m B M T.
Fixings to C C A treated tim bers m ust be class 3 screw s or
hot dip galvanised nails.
For prepainted m etal, LO S P or C C A treated tim ber
fram ing, use 1/3 spacing m ethod or full screw fixing.
Non Fire Rated Ceiling Systems
W hen directly fixing a single layer system , the plasterboard
sheets m ay be either all fastener fixed or fastener/adhesive
fixed.
W hen fixing a tw o layer system , the first layer m ust be all
fastener fixed. The second layer m ay be all fastener fixed
or adhesive/fastener fixed.
Fire Rated Ceiling Systems
Plasterboard m ust be fastener fixed only, adhesive is not
perm itted.
Fire rated ceiling system s m ust be installed strictly in
accordance w ith C SR G yprock specifications.
Plasterboard J oints
W herever possible, butt jointing of sheets on ceilings should
be avoided.
In non fire rated single layer system s, w here butt joints on
ceilings are positioned betw een fram ing m em bers, the sheet
ends m ust be reinforced (back-blocked), and depressed,
form ing a recess to enable jointing.
For detailed inform ation, refer to the G yprock Plasterboard
R esidential Installation G uide, N G YP547.
In m ulti-layer system s, butt joints in hidden layers are to be
form ed on fram ing m em bers and offset by 450m m m inim um
in consecutive layers. B utt joints in the final layer are to be
form ed w ithin 50m m of the centreline betw een m em bers,
offset by a m inim um of 450m m from previous layers and in
adjoining sheets, and fixed w ith lam inating screw s at 200m m
m axim um centres.
In m ulti-layer system s recessed joints in consecutive layers
m ust be offset by a m inim um of 300m m .
Control J oints
C ontrol joints are to be installed in fire rated continuous
interior ceiling areas, spaced at no m ore than 12m centres
in both directions, and as detailed in the Fram ing section
earlier in this guide.
Caulking
To attain the specified FRL, all perim eter gaps and penetrations
m ust be carefully and com pletely filled w ith G yprock
Fire
M astic. In som e cases, verm iculite plaster m ay be used. (Refer
to appropriate details). Verm iculite for caulking is to be m ixed
3:2 by volum e w ith cornice cem ent. U se sufficient w ater to
achieve a stiff w orkable m ix. Verm iculite plaster is not to be used
as a general purpose acoustic or fire rated caulking, except
w here detailed in this m anual. Verm iculite has no capacity to
accom m odate building m ovem ent.
In non fire rated system s, to attain the stated acoustic rating,
fill all gaps and around penetrations w ith G yprock W et Area
Acrylic Sealant or G yprock Fire M astic.
Curved Ceilings

For non fire rated ceilings, inform ation is provided for various
Levels of Finish, including tolerances, back-blocking and
fastener spacing.
In m ulti-layer system s, jointing and finishing is required on
the visible outer layer only.
Laminating Screws
In 2 and 3 layer ceiling system s, G yprock

Grid Installation
The follow ing inform ation assum es the room is square and
the ceiling panels are to be installed in a standard square-on-
square pattern. Installation m ethods w ill need to be m odified
to allow for out of square room s or other grid patterns, such
as brick pattern, and to allow for light fittings, etc.
For best appearance, the panels closest to the w alls m ay
need to be cut to size to provide a sym m etrical pattern. To
determ ine the position of the grid, determ ine the num ber
of 1200m m panels that w ill fit the room dim ension.
D eterm ine any rem ainder and add 1200m m . D ivide this
total by 2. This is the m argin along each side of the room .
