5. The guideline to use Systems+
Ceiling: Section D
Internal Wall : Section E
Search for fire protection solutions
Example: REI: -/120/120 means:
- R (Resistance): None
- E (Integrity): 120 minutes
- I (Insulation): 120 minutes
=> This fire protection system achieves EI 120 minutes.
Search for Sound Isolation Solutions
The sound isolation coefficient is expressed as STC or Rw, and the coefficient varies depending on the structure.
Example: System SB120.1A: Each side consists of 2 layers of 12.7mm FireShield fire-resistant gypsum boards, combined with C92 steel framing and 50mm Rockwool insulation (60kg/m³), achieving a soundproofing level of 55 dB.
Search for the Maximum Wall Height
Hmax, also known as the maximum height of a wall system, depends on the metal profile type and stud spacing.
Example: For System SB120.1A, if using a C92 frame with a thickness of 0.5mm and a stud spacing of 610mm, the maximum height (Hmax) achievable is 4600mm.
