The 70mm British Gypsum ShaftWall Starter Channel 3600mm is designed especially for the high performance Shaftwall system, and is used at abutments and openings to receive fixing of board. ShaftWall provides a lightweight, fire resistant structure to protect elements in confined spaces wherever access is limited to one side only.

Key Features

• Provides a protective structure which can be incorporated at an early stage of the construction without the need for scaffolding
• Horizontal membranes are built entirely from below
• A ShaftWall variant with non-combustible Glasroc F firecase board linings is available
• Higher certainty of installed acoustic performance due to laboratory tests incorporating deflection heads
• Can be used where access is limited to one side at the head, e.g. M & E cages already installed in corridors
