Metal Stud and Gyp Wall Movement
Metal Stud and Gyp Wall Movement
(OP)
Hi,
I have a project were the gyp sub attached the walls to metal building columns. We required that they maintain space around the columns to allow building movement. The question-are there any guidelines for allowable movement in gyp board walls? The walls are both parallel and perpendicular the column frame movement. Thanks

You sub should be familiar with this handbook; it is an industry bible.
