Question 1

What is the Saint-Gobain Gyproc Gypframe 3000mm 94 DC 50 Extra Deep Channel and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

It’s a heavy-duty galvanised steel channel used in Gyproc framing systems to join two ceiling joists and provide a stable backbone for insulation and plasterboard. The 50mm extra-deep profile offers extra rigidity and space for insulation, and the channel comes in a 3000mm length with pre-punched mounting holes for screw fixing.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this channel?

Accepted Answer

Length: 3000 mm. Depth: 50 mm (extra deep). Material: galvanised steel with perforations. Features pre-punched mounting holes for screws. Designed for high-strength insulation and plasterboard applications in domestic and commercial settings.

Question 3

How does the 50mm extra-deep profile benefit insulation and soundproofing?

Accepted Answer

The extra-deep 50mm profile creates a larger cavity for insulation and improves the structural rigidity of the frame. This can enhance overall sound attenuation and reduce sag when supporting plasterboard and insulation materials.

Question 4

In what installation scenarios would I use this channel?

Accepted Answer

It's ideal when joining two ceiling joists in drop ceilings or suspended ceiling projects where you need a strong, deep channel to support insulation and plasterboard. Suitable for both domestic and commercial ceiling and partition applications.

Question 5

How do I install this channel?

Accepted Answer

1) Measure and cut the channel to length as needed. 2) Align with ceiling joists and mark through the pre-punched mounting holes. 3) Fix the channel using appropriate screws for your joist material (timber or metal). 4) Ensure the channel is level and securely fastened before attaching plasterboard or insulation.

Question 6

What safety or compliance considerations should I know?

Accepted Answer

The channel is galvanised steel, offering corrosion resistance. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sharp edges, deburr any cut ends, and follow local building codes for framing and insulation installations. Ensure proper load handling and spacing per project requirements.

Question 7

How does this 50mm extra-deep channel compare to other channels available on Fepy (e.g., 60 DC and 40 DC)?

Accepted Answer

The 60 DC variant provides an even deeper profile for greater rigidity, while the 40 DC is shallower and lighter. The 50 DC depth sits between them, offering substantial strength with a moderate cavity for insulation.

Question 8

What are common use cases or applications for this channel?

Accepted Answer

Use it in ceiling joist assemblies where robust support is needed for insulation, in soundproofing projects, and in installations requiring a strong framing channel to reduce movement and give a solid backing for plasterboard.

Question 9

Is this channel reusable or recyclable after installation?

Accepted Answer

Being galvanised steel, the channel can be reused if undamaged and can be recycled at end-of-life. Proper removal and disposal should follow local recycling guidelines.

Question 10

What fixings should I use with this channel?

Accepted Answer

Use galvanised screws appropriate for the joist material (timber screws for timber joists, self-drilling screws for metal frames). The pre-punched holes simplify alignment and fastening, maintaining secure, consistent spacing.

Question 11

Is this channel compatible with other Gyproc framing components and standard Gyproc systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gyproc Gypframe channels are designed to integrate with standard Gyproc framing components and plasterboard systems, providing a cohesive solution for ceiling and partition installations.
