Interior Walls & Partitions: Dry Construction, Sound Insulation and Fire Protection

Internal walls and cladding determine a building’s sound insulation, fire protection and speed of construction. Here you will find dry construction systems using plasterboard and metal studs for new partitions and cladding of existing walls, sound insulation for partition walls, EI90 fire-rated partitions and fire protection solutions for structures, suitable for use in public assembly spaces. The guides also cover the details that determine the outcome: screw selection, classification of rendering materials by particle size, and a cost comparison between dry construction and conventional brickwork. ARGYNET specifies the entire system, from the framework to the finish, and calculates material requirements per m².
