FERMACELL Ceilings

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the use of Fermacell ceilings in compliance with Part E of the Building Regulations and Robust Details (RD) for acoustic performance. It highlights the structural components and the unique properties of Fermacell boards and the Protektor TPS 25 acoustic ceiling system.

Key Components:

Structural Floor: Forms the base of the ceiling construction.
Joist: Solid joists are used for Part E, while engineered joists are used for RD.
Insulation: Provides thermal and acoustic insulation.
Fermacell Boards: Two layers of 10mm boards with a surface mass greater than 23kg/m² are used for acoustic compliance.
TPS 25 Acoustic Ceiling System: Supports the sacrificial ceiling and additional ceiling services.
Final Ceiling Finish: A 10mm Fermacell board is used as the final layer.

Specifications:

The TPS 25 system can carry up to 60kg/m², allowing for the support of sacrificial ceilings and various ceiling services.
Fermacell boards provide excellent acoustic properties and load-bearing capabilities, supporting up to 20kg with a toggle bolt.

Procedures:

Sacrificial ceilings are recommended where service ceilings or penetrations are present to maintain acoustic performance.
Fixing the sacrificial ceiling does not require locating the resilient bars, as toggle bolts can be used at any point.
Jointing of Fermacell boards is only necessary for cosmetic purposes on the lower sacrificial ceiling.

Recommendations:

Consult relevant technical literature for advice on fixing, jointing, and finishing Fermacell ceilings.
Ensure all gaps are sealed for acoustic and fire safety purposes.

FERMACELL Ceilings The unique load bearing capabilities of both Fermacell boards and the Protektor TPS 25 acoustic ceiling system make them particularly suited to ceiling constructions that must comply with part E of the Building Regulations and the newly introduced Robust Details. Where service ceilings are required, or where a ceiling contains penetrations, in order to maintain the acoustic performance of the construction as a whole, a sacrificial ceiling should be used. The requirements of the new 2003/2004 Part E regulations, and the Robust Details, require that the main (acoustic) ceiling...
