Cgc shaft wall systems are non load bearing gypsum wall partition assemblies constructed from outside the shaft at each floor.
Shafts are enclosed early in construction and the walls are finished later along with interior partitions.
For example while joist manufacturers regularly meet the standard l 360 criteria for code construction with 24 o c.

Our wall frames provide a durable practical and lightweight structure for internal plasterboard walls and for specific external wall systems.
If framing is 16 in.
On center systems these floors often have deflection between the joists exceeding l 360.
Floor framing must be covered with min 19 mm 3 4 exterior grade plywood subfloor firmly attached to assure stability.
Includes details for resilient channel installation chase walls furred ceilings and walls and door and window openings.
Axial load on the stud.
Framing practices and procedures for wood and steel framing.
Allowable deflection of the stud.
The preferred limit for veneer assemblies is l 360 and should not exceed l 240.
The key consideration is whether the assembly is for a load.
Using l 240 as an example and where the length of a span distance between supports is 3 metres deflection is determined as follows.
Use 20 gauge steel studs for exterior non loadbearing curtain.
