linings, it is recommended that plasterboard is installed in well
ventilated areas protected from moisture penetration. Where required, Boral Plasterboard systems comply with the soft
body impact resistance provisions of the BCA.
Building designers should be aware that some types of bulk
insulation tend to absorb and retain the moisture against the face Abrasive Impact
of plasterboard.
This impact occurs when an object is scraped along the face of
the wall and usually is seen by marks in the paint covering the
wall lining. Resistance against abrasion is more a function of the
surface coating over the face of the wall lining, than the lining
itself. However, the harder the lining material is, the better it will
resist determined scratching associated with vandalism.

With a glancing impact, where a hard body object strikes the wall
at an angle of less than 90 degrees, the damage will often be a
combination of abrasion and denting.

Hard Body Impact

These impacts result in dents or gouges and sometimes
penetration of the wall lining. Examples of hard body impacts
would include kicks and hits with trolleys or hockey sticks. The
BCA specifies a static test measuring resistance to indentation
of wall linings (Specification C1.8.6), but no hard body impact
requirements. All plasterboard products produced by Boral
Plasterboard meet this surface indentation criteria.

When considering what solution to use in a particular situation,

it is important to look at the lifecycle costs for the alternatives
available. Lifecycle costs include the up front capital cost to
build the wall and the costs of maintaining the wall linings that
are incurred over the life of the building. While some alternative
systems may have lower maintenance costs in service, their up
front installation costs may be quite high and plasterboard may
provide a more cost effective solution.

For the transmission of impact generated sound through floors,

the BCA does not allow any concession from the laboratory
performance to the field performance. Therefore, the on site
performance requirement, L’nT,w (Weighted standardised

Sound Insulation Rating of Services

The BCA requires ducts, soil and waste pipes and water supply
pipes located in a party wall or floor cavity to be acoustically
separated by a construction with a minimum Rw + Ctr rating.
Supplementary to the airborne rating, the BCA requires that
water supply pipes must only be installed in the cavity
of discontinuous construction.

To achieve the sound insulation requirements of the BCA, one of

the options for soil and waste pipe treatment includes acoustic
lagging of the pipes which typically comprises a loaded vinyl
isolated from the pipe with foam or fibreglass. It is important
that the lagging and pipe are not in contact with ceilings, walls or
supports and the pipe mounts and supports are not contact the

ACOUSTICAL OPINION -
BORAL AUSTRALIAN GYPSUM LIMITED
PARTITION WALLS, FLOORS AND CEILINGS

Systems included in the Boral Selector - Plasterboard Systems (PB101, March 2007), which are not laboratory tested systems,
have an acoustic rating which has been determined by opinion by Graeme E. Harding & Associates.

The acoustic rating was based either on the ratings of similar tested constructions from various sources, or by calculation using
predictive models, or by a combination of both where appropriate.

Notes:

1. The RW (Weighted Sound Reduction Index) is a single number index used to rate the sound isolation of a partition for
noises which do not have significant low frequency components, such as speech. The RW value given is the expected
performance of a building element in a laboratory that tests to AS1191-2002 “Acoustics - Method for Laboratory
Measurement of the Airborne Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions”, and determined according to the procedure
in AS/NZS ISO 717.1:2004 “Acoustics - Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Airborne sound
insulation”.

The expected tolerance of opinions is ±2dB for the RW. This allows for variations in the test method, the difference
between laboratories and the accuracy of the estimating techniques. The rating obtained on a building site, called the
Weighted Apparent Sound Reduction Index (R'W), may differ from the laboratory result.

2. The RW + Ctr is a single number index that provides a more reliable indicator of the ability of the partition to isolate noise
containing significant low frequency components (such as traffic noise and home theater sound) than the RW. In several
countries the RW combined with the Ctr (an adaptation term) is simplified to a single number rating, the RA,2. The RW + Ctr
value given is the expected performance of a building element in a laboratory that tests to AS1191-2002 “Acoustics -
Method for Laboratory Measurement of the Airborne Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions”, and determined
according to the procedure in AS/NZS ISO 717.1:2004 “Acoustics - Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of building
elements - Airborne sound insulation”.

The expected tolerance of opinions is ±3dB for the RW + Ctr. This allows for variations in the test method, the difference
between laboratories and the accuracy of the estimating techniques. The rating obtained on a building site may differ from
the laboratory result.

3. The Ln,w + CI is a single number index used to rate the sound isolation of a floor/ceiling partition against footfall noise,
particularly high healed, hard surfaced shoes. The Ln,w + CI value is the expected performance in a laboratory that tests to
ISO 140/6-1998 “Acoustics - Measurement of Sound Insulation of Buildings and of Building Elements - Part 6: Laboratory
Measurements of Impact Insulation of Floors” and determined according to the procedure in AS ISO 717.2-2004
“Acoustics - Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Impact sound insulation”.

The expected tolerance of opinions is ±3dB for the Ln,w + CI. The expected tolerance allows for variations due to the test
method, differences between laboratories, and accuracy of the estimate. The Ln,w + CI rating does not allow for the amount
of low frequency noise to the room below the partition when a person walks on the floor above. This low frequency noise
can be significant with lightweight floor/ceiling systems. The field rating may differ significantly from the laboratory
result.

• Move across to Stud column to identify the stud size required
to achieve this height: 92CS75
• From the notes on page C2.2 we note that nogged walls lined
one side that are between 3000mm – 6000mm in height
require noggings at 1/3 spacing and an extra nogging 100mm

Installation and Fastening Sequence for Steel Studs
The first plasterboard sheet installed at a joint should be fixed
to the open side of a stud flange. Additional sheets are then
installed in the direction toward the closed side of the stud web.

When installing the first side, screw-fasten the plasterboard sheets

to studs at edges only, as illustrated in Figure 1 (positions 1 and 2).
Then, on the second side, fasten the edge (position 3) followed by
intermediate studs (position 4). Return to the first side and fasten
sheets to previously unattached studs (position 5).

Caution
Avoid fixing Boral Plasterboard sheets in the direction from the closed
side of the stud to the open side of the stud web (Figure 2). This will Lipped Joint Lipped Joint
result in the first sheet at a joint being incorrectly screwed to
the flange on the closed side of the stud. The flange will then be
free to deflect when the next sheet is screwed to the open side
Figure 3 - Effect of Incorrect Fastening Sequence
(Figure 2). This can permanently bend the flange, resulting in a
lipped joint.

If the stud is not supported firmly while the screws are driven,
the stud can twist from square, also resulting in a lipped joint
(Figure 3).

Do not fix plasterboard sheets in the direction from the closed

side of the stud to the open side of the stud web (Figure 2).

Do not screw the first sheet at a joint to the flange at the

» Installation and Fastening Sequence for Steel Studs

Correct Installation
The correct direction of sheet installation is in the direction from
the open side of the stud to the closed side of the stud web
(Figure 4). The first sheet installed at a joint is screwed to the
 
flange at the open side of the stud. The flange will initially deflect
then straighten as the screw pulls tight. Ensure that the stud
is adequately supported to avoid twisting, and fully screw this
sheet to the stud before continuing.
CORRECT DIRECTION IN RELATION TO STUD
The next sheet is now screwed to the flange at the closed side
Figure 4 - Correct Fastening Sequence Detail
of the stud. The deflection on this part of the flange is very small,
and the previously installed sheet helps keep the assembly rigid
during the installation of the second sheet.


If fixed correctly the result is a flat joint with no lipping (Figure 5).
The correct installation sequence is illustrated in Figure 5 below.

Do fix plasterboard sheets in the direction from the open side of

the stud to the closed side of the stud (Figure 4).

Do screw the first sheet at a joint to the flange at the open side

Notes:
Walls

The following instructions must be followed to achieve satisfactory results:

• Care should be taken to isolate copper pipes away from contact with steel framing to avoid problems with corrosion.
• Plasterboard linings are not to act as supports for piping.
• Piping is to be kept clear of face sheets and baffles.
• Ensure that baffles protect the areas immediately behind wall penetrations.
D2

• Pipes are to penetrate one face only of the partition between any two wall studs.
• Total area of all openings between any two wall studs must be no greater than 5000mm2.
