Drywall/Wood Framed Systems Single layer In single-layer ceiling assemblies, SHEETROCK Brand Gypsum Panels are applied across the supports and fastened with nails or screws. Nails are spaced 6Љ to 7Љ o.c. (6Љ for ﬁre-rated construction); 1-1/4Љ Type W screws are spaced 12Љ o.c. Where no ﬁre rating is required, adhesive nail-on fastening improves bond strength and reduces face nailing. Resilient attachment Resilient channel systems offer ﬁre-resistant wood joist ﬂoor/ceiling assemblies having highly efﬁcient sound isolation at low cost—qualities particularly needed in apartments, motels and...
