Knauf External Stud Wall Framing Systems
Description
External steel framed plasterboard walls protect the inside from weather, noise and when applicable, fire. They must also comply with local energy efficiency provisions.
Knauf Metal manufactures a wide range of quality steel stud and track profiles for different wall systems applications. Knauf Metal External Framing has superior corrosion protection for Australian conditions and Standards.
Our studs along with many other components, are made from Grade 300 MPa steel with corrosion protection of Zincalume ‘next generation’ AM150. Zincalume AM150 is a corrosion protection coating that offers superior added strength and corrosion resistance.
External walls are subject to wind pressures that are much higher than internal walls. The design pressures are determined by the region, the proximity to the coast, the surrounding terrain and the importance level of the building. For this reason it is important to have these walls designed by a Structural Engineer
Products for external walls should be selected based on the Structural Engineers design and detail, as every building will have different criteria. For selection of Knauf Metal components to be used in External Walls contact our helpful Knauf Technical Services Engineering Team
Knauf provides a full design and inspection service backed up by a Knauf Warranty. The detailed engineered designs which are issued, allow for the varied wall heights and window or door openings specific to each project.
Knauf External Walls Framing Systems can be:
- Sheeted with an appropriate wall board
- Provide structural support for the Knauf Facade System or other Facade systems
- Provide structural support for a brick veneer
- Provide structural support for Aerated Concrete Panels
Refer also to Knauf Blueprint for further guidance on structural frame design for external walls
Walls that are required to allow for vertical deflection must have a Deflection Head Track at the top of the wall. The Deflection Head Track is a 50mm deep profile. The studs must be cut 20mm short of the supporting structure, this allows for the structure to deflect downwards up to 20mm without causing damage to the wall below.
The Knauf Deflection Head Track can be simply ‘friction fit’ into the Deflection Head Track just as it would with a Standard Head Track. For most internal walls in the 2400mm to 3600mm height range the stud can simply be friction fit into the Deflection Head Track just as it would with a Standard Head Track. Alternatively, the Knauf 92mm Slotted Deflection Head Track enables the use of a screw or fastener fixed connection in lieu of the friction fit installation method.
Refer to Knauf Blueprint for further guidance on structural frame design for external walls
