Gyprock Party Wall systems are designed to meet the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) for Class 1 Buildings, featuring discontinuous construction and acoustic performance to a standard of Rw+Ctr 50.
The system is also fire resistant (FRL 60/60/60) and has the added benefit of design freedom – achieved through the system’s double load bearing walls with a centralised fire barrier. The design allows services including water and electricity to be run within the wall frame, without affecting the system’s performance.
