Hilux Partition System

HILUX – DRY WALL SOLUTIONS

Ideal for commercial, industrial or residential usage, the Hilux Dry Walls are a boon to architects, offering the best in protection, safety, robustness and versatility. These are easy to install and require virtually no maintenance, thus offering the tremendous twin-benefits of time and cost savings.

Hilux Dry Walls are fire, water and termite resistant, lightweight yet sturdy with high tensile strength and lend themselves to all kinds of finishing and can be decorated with most type of paints, wall papers, ceramic tiles and hard laminate (up to 1 mm thickness).

Hilux partitions consist of Calcium Silicate Board screw fixed to either side of timber, aluminium or light weight galvanized metal frames. The Partitions are non-load bearing and can easily be assembled at site. The partitions can be used in most types of buildings, new or existing, like Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Educational Institutions, Hotels and Hospitals, Simple to multiple story buildings etc. The Partitions can be simple space divisions, office cubicles [low height partitions] to greater height partitions [ Refer Partition System Selector Chart for details]. These Partitions can be erected in high humid areas and under humid conditions. The light weight metal sections in the partitions make it cost effective and contribute towards savings on structural costs.

System Specification

Main System : 66mm, 70mm & 74mm thick metal stud partition comprising of a facing of both side of one layer of 8mm, 10mm & 12mm Hilux board screw respectively, fixed with 25 mm self tapping screws at 200 mm centers to a G. I. metal frame built up with 50 mm stud of 0.6 mm thick and having unequal flanges of 50mm X 48mm placed at 610 mm center to center in 50 mm floor and ceiling channel of anchored to floor and ceiling at 600 mm center where height of partition greater than length of the board. The edged of the board are to be backed by horizontal bracing members bridging the vertical studs. The facing boards are to be staggered to avoid coinciding on the same stud.

Boarding System : 8mm, 10mm or 12mm “HILUX ” Calcium silicate tapered edge board is then screwed to ceiling section with 25 mm drywall for 66mm, 70mm or 74mm thickness respectively, screws at 200 mm centers. Screw fixing is done mechanically either with screw driver of drilling machine with suitable attachment. The boarding is to be done keeping a gap of 2 mm from all sides of the boards and making a 3 mm tapered edge on the two sides of the boards.

Jointing & Finishing : Finally the boards are to be jointed and finished so as to have a flush look which includes filling and finishing the square edges of the boards with Lime & PVA based material with Fiber Tape.

Partition System is generally based on factors like
• Fire Protection
• Sound Insulation
• Thermal Conductivity / Thermal Resistance / Thermal Transmittance
• Height of Partition

The Following Partition System Selector Chart shows some Partition System based on above factors to choose from.
