Gyproc Gypframe GA4 Angle 0.7 x 3000mm Perimeter Angle for Framing

Dimensions: 0.7 mm thickness by 3000 mm length. Weight: approximately 1.7 kg per piece. Material: galvanised steel (GA4). Standards: compliant with British Standards. Features: X-webbing technology to enhance support and ease of handling during installation and transport.

GA4 indicates a specific galvanised steel grade and structural capability used in gypsum board systems. Compared with other GA variants, GA4 is built for standard wall and ceiling assemblies with reliable edge support, while other GA grades may be tailored for different load, span, or environmental requirements. Always match the GA grade to your project needs.

X-webbing is a design feature built into the Gypframe GA4 angle to improve rigidity and load distribution. It helps reinforce the angle during handling, reduces flex during installation, and contributes to a sturdier finished board system.

1) Cut the angle to the required length if needed. 2) Position it along the edge or joint where gypsum boards will be fixed. 3) Secure with appropriate self-tapping screws into studs or ground webs at regular intervals. 4) Ensure the angle stays true and aligned before attaching gypsum boards. 5) Attach boards using compatible screws and finishing operations per your project plan.

Use self-tapping screws suitable for metal studs or ground webs that match the GA4 system. Common choices are corrosion-resistant self-tapping screws sized for metal framing (e.g., 3.5–4.0 mm diameter, length appropriate to penetrate the stud or web securely). Always follow your local building codes and the gypsum board manufacturer’s recommendations.

The GA4 angle is designed to support gypsum board systems and can contribute to overall assembly performance. For explicit acoustic or fire-rated requirements, verify compatibility with your specific board system and check the project’s fire and sound ratings to ensure compliance with local building codes.

Common applications include edge reinforcement and alignment for gypsum boards in interior walls and ceilings, helping fix boards to studs and ground webs, creating clean corners, and ensuring a stable framework for plasterboard or gypsum board installations in both new builds and refurbishment projects.

Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting metal angles. Use appropriate cutting tools (tin snips or metal shears) and deburr edges after cutting. Store parts in a dry environment to prevent corrosion and handle gently to avoid bending or kinking the angle before installation.

If you’re considering alternatives on Fepy.com, you might look at other GA4 angles with different lengths or thicknesses for varied projects. Examples include: Gyproc Gypframe GA4 Angle 0.7 x 2500mm: https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-gypframe-ga4-angle-0-7-x-2500mm, Gyproc Gypframe GA4 Angle 0.8 x 3000mm: https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-gypframe-ga4-angle-0-8-x-3000mm, Gyproc Gypframe GA4 Angle 1.0 x 3000mm: https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-gypframe-ga4-angle-1-0-x-3000mm. These options provide different lengths or thicknesses to suit specific installation requirements while maintaining the GA4 standard.

Start by evaluating the board size, span, and load requirements of your wall or ceiling. Check the recommended thickness and length for your gypsum boards and ensure the GA4 angle matches your studs or ground webs. If in doubt, refer to the gypsum board manufacturer guidelines and local building codes, and plan where you’ll place screws to secure the angle effectively.
