Fixing supporting components and spacing


Fermacell Gypsum Fibreboards are fixed to timber with staples or fermacell Screws.
Fermacell Screws are used for steel profiles with a thickness of upto 0.7 mm.
Fermacell Drill Tip Screws are used for profiles with thicker sheets, e.g. U-reinforcement profiles.

 

When fixing the fermacell boards, care must be taken to ensure that there are always at least 2 parallel-running board edges positioned on the substructure.
All fixings should be sufficiently countersunk into the fermacell Gypsum Fibreboard and filled with fermacell Joint Filler.
The fixing of fermacell Gypsum Fibreboards must take place without any tension transferred into the boards. When inserting the screws, care must be taken to ensure that fixing takes place on the fixing axes (substructure) either from the middle of the board toward the edges (e.g. in the wall area) or working from one board edge to another edge.
