In case of fire protection requirements for the partition, the suspended ceiling should have at least the same fire rating.
Fire protective connections to walls
Suspended ceilings in connection with basic ceilings of building type I to IV as well as suspended ceilings solely for fire protection from below and / or from above that are fire rated 30 to 90 minutes can be connected to partitions if they are of the same fire rating.
Wall background should be even in the area of the connection. Specific levelling preparations might be necessary.The connection of the suspended ceiling has to be tight and covered.

Construction and Application
Knauf Metal Stud Partitions W11
ConstructionKnauf Metal Stud Partitions consist of a single metal stud frame (W111, W112,) or double metal metal stud frame (W115, W116) and a claddingof Knauf Boards RG or MR impregnated/ Fire Resistant Boards FR or FM impregnated/ LaVita Shielding Boards FR/ KNAUF Piano Sound Shield RG, FR or FM on both sides.
The metal framework is fixed at the entire pe-rimeter. Cladding with 1 to 2 layers.
For Knauf solutions for partitions with vertical exaggeration ask Knauf Sales Force.Insulation material for sound and thermal insu-lation as well as sanitary or electric built-ins can be installed into the metal frame construction.Movement joints have to be taken over into the construction of the partitions. For continuous partitions use control joints at approx. 15 m.
W115 Separating WallFor high sound protection requirements two rows of metal studs are installed parallel, isolat-ed by Sealing Tape.
W116 Installation WallFor the application of installation in the partition cavity two rows of studs can be installed and connected wirth Knauf Gypsum Board strips.
Cladding● Cladding preferably with vertically applied
floor-to-ceiling Knauf boards. Displace joints. No joints at door opening profi les.
● For fire protection requirements fill connection to floor with filler, for sole sound protection re-quirements Acoustical Sealant or acrylate can be used.
● Spacing of screws 25 cm (for the first layer of double layer cladding the spacing can be in-creased to 75 cm).
W111If not using floor-to-ceiling boards displace hori-zontal joints at least 400 mm. Filling of cut edge joints with Joint Tape is recommended. For fire protection requirements cover cut edge joints with profi les.
ApplicationMetal stud frame● Apply Acoustical Sealant (two strings) or Seal-
ing Tape to backside of runners for the con-nection of flanking constructional compo-nents. For sound protection requirements seal up carefully with acoustical sealant according to DIN 4109, supplement 1, chapter 5.2; po-rous sealant strips like Sealing Tape are usu-ally not suitable in this case.
● If a deflection of the ceiling ≥ 10 mm can be expected install deflection heads.
● Fix perimeter runners and studs with suit-able dowels to flanking components. Spacing of dowels 1 m with at least 3 fixing points at walls.
● Anchors for solid flanking components: nail-able plug/ not solid flanking components: an-chors have to be permitted and standardized for the building material being used.
● Install CW studs into UW runners and align.
W116 Installation WallConnect double metal studs with approx. 30 cm wide Gypsum Board strips (spacing approx. 60 cm) to “frame studs”.

Filling materials● If using tape, hand fill with Knauf Fugenfüller
or with Knauf Readyfix and Knauf Joint Tape. ● Use Knauf Readyfix for the final filling as fine
finish before sanding the joints.
Implementation● For multi layer cladding, fill in joints of first lay-
ers, smooth joints of top layer.● Cover all visible screw heads as well. ● Recommendation: Fill in and tape cut edges
of visible layers no matter which filling materi-al is used.
● Use Knauf Spezialgrund to prime the entire surface of filled Knauf boards to control suc-tion and for optical harmonization of the sur-face. Knauf Spezialgrund is a system com-ponent for the creation of surfaces with high-er quality requirements according to code of practice no. 2 “Verspachtelung von Gipsplat-ten - Oberflächengüten” of the IGG.
Application temperature/ Climate● Filling and covering of joints should only take
place after the boards have been allowed to rest in the given humidity and temperature zones, and no more longitudinal changes can be expected, i.e. expansion or contraction.
● Plasters: Knauf structured plasters, e.g. resin plasters, thin plasters, entire surface smooth-ing like e.g. Knauf Readyfix, mineral plasters inconnection with paper taped jointing. After the application of resin / cellulose plas-ters quick drying must be assured through ad-equate airing.
● Wallpapers: paper, textile and synthetic wall-papers. Use only adhesives made of cel-lulose according to code of practice no. 16 “Technische Richtlinien für Tapezier- und Klebearbeiten”, Frankfurt/Main 2002, re-leased by Bundesausschuss Farbe und Sach-wertschutz. After wallpapering of paper and fi-ber glass wallpapers quick drying must be as-sured through adequate airing.
● Alkaline coats such as lime, water glass col-ors and silicate-based paints are unsuitable for gypsum board surfaces.
● Silicate-based emulsion paints may be used after referring to the manufacturer’s rec-ommendations and following the stipulated guidelines closely.
Gypsum board surfaces that have constantly been exposed to light without any protection can develop yellowing agents that show up de- spite a coat of paint. Therefore a trial coat is re- commended that will extend across several boards including all joints. Yellowing can, how-ever, be successfully avoided only by using a special shielding primer.

● Joints should be filled at a minimum tempera-ture of +10°C (50°F).
● In case of mastic asphalt screed, fill in joints after screed has been applied.
Surface TreatmentUse a primer on Knauf Boards before coating or painting them. Ensure that the primer and the coat or paint are compatible. The following coats can be used to cover Knauf Boards:● Coats: Washable and abrasion-proof emul-
sion paint, multicolored (rainbow) emulsion, oil paint, matte-fi nish lacquer, alkyd resin paint, polymer resin paint, PUR lacquer, or ep-oxy-based lacquer, according to intended use or as required.
● Ceramic tiles: For tiling at least double layer cladding is recommended.
