BORAL PARTIWALL


Boral Parti Wall is a 25mm fire resistant plasterboard that is ideal for Multi Residential Timber Framed construction. Rather than a layer of 16mm firestop plasterboard on each stud wall a single 25mm layer in the cavity between two stud walls is used. The system has proven itself when a unit was set alight while under construction. The adjoining unit was saved from the fire.


The partiwall is slotted together rather than the traditional taped system.

Introduction

I passed this site just after Christmas on my push bike. At first glance it appeared to be an ubiquitous portal frame. However the shining relfections from the frame signalled that it was different. The portal frame was not your normal hot rolled steel UB section but cold rolled. The type you usually see in those kit garages and barns, but this spans 20m!
