1. General
Storage and transport
Storage
• Rigidur gypsum fibre boards must be
stored horizontally on a flat surface
(pallet) or on timber logs with a distance of max. 350 mm.
• On storing of the boards the bearing
capacity of the storage area must be
considered (e.g. one pallet / 70 pcs. of
Rigidur 10 construction board weighs
approx. 1.2 t). For detailed information
see IGG data sheet No. 1 "Conditions
on building sites".
Horizontal correct storage
of Rigidur boards
• Rigidur boards and accessories must be
protected against the impact of weather as well as against sunlight.
Board carrier for easier
vertical transport.
14
Transport
• Rigidur gypsum fibre boards are carried vertically or with suitable means of
transport (lifting truck or platform
truck).
Protect Rigidur boards
against humidity and weather
Rigips-Tips
• In general Rigidur gypsum fibre boards, joint filler and bonding
agent should be stored on a dry place inside of buildings.
• Rigidur gypsum fibre boards, which have become humid for a
short time due to improper storage, must be completely dried on
a horizontal surface before installation.
• We recommend, however, not processing boards any more, which
have become completely wet.
15
1. General
Board processing
Cutting
• Rigidur gypsum fibre boards can be easily processed with the usual wood and
dry-construction tools. For this purpose
the boards must be placed on a level
surface or on a board stack or a cutting table.
• Cuttings can be just done with manual
circular saws, preferably with plunger
saws with sufficient exhaust. The best
possible rotation speed and the type of
the saw blade depend on the available
saw.
• Die Rigidur gypsum fibre boards can
also be notched with a knife to subsequently break them on the stack of
boards. It is not necessary to use a
special notching tool. A standard knife
with a break-off blade is absolutely
sufficient. Notching on the backside of
the board is not necessary either.
Rigips Note
with edges which are rough due to
breaking can only be processed with
joint filler and not with glue. Only Rigidur boards, which feature edges
with exact cuts, can be processed in
glued joint technique.
16
Small cuttings can be
done manually.
Notching of boards
Breaking of boards
Recesses
• Recesses, like for example for wall outlets in cavity walls or for pipe ducts,
must be measured, marked and cut
with the cavity wall cutter for wall outlets, or respectively, with a centre
punch or the compass saw.
• The cutting for pipes and cables
should at least be 10 mm wider than
the diameter of the pipe or, respectively, cable.
Recesses can be done
with a cavity wall cutter
for wall outlets
• The cavities must be closed according
to the respective notes regarding protection against humidity and fire and
sound insulation.

1. General
Conditions on building sites
Today the installation of gypsum board systems is done on a very
high processing standard. To avoid errors and to prevent misunderstandings with regard to the installation of gypsum board systems
with regard to the basic conditions on the building site – to thus
help to ensure quality – we would like to support you with the following expert recommendations and notes.
These statements regarding the conditions on building sites are supported by the "Industriegruppe Gipsplatten im Bundesverband der
Gips- und Gipsbauplattensindustrie e.V. Darmstadt"!
• Planking with gypsum boards should not be done in buildings in
case of a relative humidity of more than 80% prevailing for a
considerable time.
• After the Installation gypsum board systems must be protected
against long impacts of humidity.
• Even after the installation in buildings sufficient ventilation is to
be ensured.
• Filling must only be done, when no more changes of the length of
the gypsum boards due to impacts of humidity and temperature are
to be expected any more.
• For the filling process the temperature of material and room must
be below + 5°C.
18
Building in winter
• Fast sudden heating must be avoided, since it may cause tension
cracks due to changes of the board length.
• Direct application of hot or warm air on to the surface of the
gypsum boards must be avoided.
• Sufficient ventilation must be ensured.
Rigips tips
• Working with plaster and screed usually cause a drastic increase of the relative humidity. Make sure that thorough and even
ventilation is available.
• Mineral wool to be installed must correspond to the Ordinance
on Hazardous Substances (GefStoffV.) as well as to DIN 18165-1.
• Wet screed, melted asphalt and wet plasters should be
applied before the installation of the gypsum fibre boards. If this
is not possible due to the sequence of the individual trades, at
least the joint filling should be done at a later point of time to
avoid the formation of cracks in the joint area.

2. Joint techniques
Joint techniques
The proper execution of joints and a perfect finish are important for
the quality and execution of wall and ceiling constructions of gypsum fibre boards to achieve a best possible smoothness of the wall.
Apart from technical and optical requirements which must be fulfilled economic working is of great importance. Depending on the
type of application of Rigidur gypsum fibre boards you may choose
from various joint techniques: Butt joint, AK joint technique, glue
joint technique and filler joint technique.
Butt joint
The boards can be installed with a buttjoint. In this case no glueing or filling of
the joint is necessary. This is possible for
example in case of double planking, if
the first layer of boards is covered by the
subsequent layer.
Butt-joints
Rigips-Tip
In case of double planking the Rigidur gypsum fibre boards are
installed with offset joints. The joint techniques described in the following are used for the second layer.
22
AK joint technique
The chamfered edges of the boards form a butt joint ➀.
Subsequently the self-adhesive Rigidur grid reinforcement strap is directly applied to the chamfered edge: ➁.
Rigidur joint filler is applied with a plastering trowel and is drawn off
to form a smooth surface ➂.
To get a perfect wall surface Rigidur joint filler is applied once again for
additional smoothing of the wall ➃.

2. Joint techniques
Glue joint technique
The boards are glued with Rigidur Nature Line or Rigidur Joint adhesive.
Only absolutely straight board edges, i.e.
edges cut at the plant or cut with a guided plunger saw can be processed with
glued joint technique. For a perfect glueing of the joints nothing but Rigidur
joint adhesive must be used.
The joint adhesive is applied in "caterpillar form" onto the clean, dust-free front
edge of the board to be installed,
but never onto the base-structure ➀.

Application of the joint
adhesive to the exactly cut
edge

The next board is pressed to the joint
adhesive, with the width of the joint
amounting to a maximum of 1 mm ➁.
max. 1mm
On pressing together of the boards the
joint adhesive must completely fill the
whole joint. When the glue is hard the
excessive material will be cut off
smoothly with a trowel ➂.
The consumption of joint adhesive
amounts to approx. 15 ml per metre of
joint.
Rigips Notes
• Rigidur Nature Line Joint adhesive is
an environmental friendly, one-component glue without solvents and
dangerous matters.
• Approx. 20 m2 can be processed
with one cartridge.
• The processing temperature amounts
to between 7 and 25° C.
• It is absolutely imperative to follow
the processing instruction on the
packing material of Rigidur Nature
Line Joint adhesive..

Filler joint technique
The boards can be processed with a filler
joint. The joint width of the installed boards must amount to between 5 and 7
mm ➀.
To achieve a perfect filling the Rigidur
joint filler* is to be used. The joint is filled
and smoothly cut off ➁.
Filling is done without any reinforcement
straps. To achieve a perfect wall surface
Rigidur joint filler is applied once again
for additional smoothing of the wall ➂.

Important notes and basic guidelines regarding joint filling
• The facade must be closed, wet
screed and wet plaster must have
been applied, since persisting humidity not only prevents the filled joint
from drying but may also cause the
joints to swell.
• Rigidur gypsum fibre boards, which
have become wet, should only be
filled when they are completely dry
again.
• Melted asphalt-screed must have
been applied before any filling, since
the impact of the heat may cause
formation of cracks in the joints
area.

2. Joint techniques
Processing notes for Rigidur joint filler*
Preparation
• Prepare floor and scaffolding without obstacles
• Remove dust from joints and surface
• Check surface for protruding connectorsn
Mixing
The mixing of the joint filler has a considerable influence of the later
behaviour of the filler during processing.
• Only use clean containers and clean tap water for mixing.
• Only mix the amount of filler which can be processed during the
stated processing time.
• Rigidur joint filler (5 kg) is dispersed in approx. 4 l of water.
• Loosely disperse the dry material into the water manually or from
the sack, until the little powder islands forming on the surface get
soaked with water. This is how to avoid the forming of clots and
the right consistency is achieved.
• The consistency of the mixed joint filler should be such that the material does not slide down even in case of a turned around trowel
(mix a little more stiffly for the pre-filling).
Important notes
• Never add warm water!
• Joint filler which has been mixed too stiffly can be diluted with
water.
• Don't add additional Rigidur joint filler after stirring (danger of
clotting!).
• Don't use already setting material and don't dilute it with water
either (danger of joint cracks!).
• It is absolutely imperative to follow the processing instruction on
the packing material of Rigidur joint fillers.
Surface qualities
The surface must be clean, dry, frost-protected and free of dust.
26
Pre-filling
• Put joint filler into holes or surface defects.
• Filling of traverse or vertical joints with trowel or smoothing trowel.
• Cover screw heads with filler.
• Allow filled joints and screw heads to set.
Rigips tips
• Apply joint filler across the joint. (This causes bubble-free filling of
the joint!)
• On pre-filling always fill the traverse joints first.
Additional filling
• After setting of the joint filler remove filler possibly remaining from
pre-filling process.
• After setting of the pre-filling apply the additional filling seamlessly.
Avoid lines.
• Additional filling can be done with the same material as the pre-filling.
• Apply a slightly thinner filler in wide movements to the point of
origin.
• Finally smooth the surface with a very flat trowel in straight and fast
movements.
• Additionally fill screw heads and bad spots.
• Grind possibly uneven spots of the filling.
• Subsequent lining must only be applied after complete setting of
the material.
• Don't process with temperatures below approx. + 5° C.
Storage
• Store under dry and frost-protected conditions.
• Close opened packages well and use them within 3 months.
Important note
Before adding another filling the first filling must be absolutely dry,
otherwise shrinkage may occur (joint collapses or is hollow).
* Alternative: VARIO Joint filler
27
2. Joint techniques
Practical tips for special situations
(Connections)
Apart from the filling of joints on level walls or of roof slopes there
also are filled spots in the area of corners or connections to other
construction parts.
Filling of connectors
Before starting of the filling it must be
checked, whether all connectors have
been properly sunk in. As soon as the
pre-filling of the board joints has been
finished, the heads of the connectors are
pre-filled. The final processing step is the
additional filling – and if necessary grinding – of all connectors during the final
filling of the board joints.
Corner connections to plaster, etc.
In case of connections to plaster, concrete or similar self-adhesive painter's strap
should be applied before filling, the latter ensures a straight separation of the
different materials. The visible part of
the adhesive strap is removed after filling.
Corner connections in case of sharp /
cut edges
Rigidur boards with sharp / cut edges are
installed with a joint distance of approx. 5
mm. The painter's strap is used as in case
of the corner connections to plaster. The
visible part of the adhesive strap is removed after filling.
28
Wall-outer corners with edge protection profile
In case of protruding wall corners the Rigips edge protection profile can be filled
in. For outer edges which are extremely
prone collision, e.g. in hospitals or nursing homes (transport of beds), a special
heavy-load collision protection should be
installed on planking of the walls.
29
30
3. Connectors and distances
• Rigidur drywall screws/clamps
• Distances between connectors in case of single- and
double-layer wall-, roof- and ceiling constructions
• Metal- and wooden base-construction double-layer
with fastening to base-structure
• Depths of penetration of connectors
• Lengths of screws and clamps in base-structure depending on application and requirements
31
3. Connectors and distances
Rigidur drywall screws/clamps
To fasten the Rigidur-board into the base-structure Rigidur drywall
screws or resinated steel wire clamps are used.
The especially stable and hard surface allows the fastening points to be as close
as 10 mm to the edge of the board without causing the edges to break.
Rigidur drywall screws are used on metal
base-structures to fasten the Rigidur
gypsum fibre boards. On wooden basestructures clamps may be used as well.
Clamping is especially fast and therefore
very economic.
Notes
• For fastening of the Rigidur gypsum
fibre boards to each other expanding
clamps (e.g. Haubold) with a wire
thickness of dn ! 1.5 mm are to be
used.
• The side length should be 2-3 mm
shorter than the thickness of both
Rigidur layers together.
• For detailed information on the
sequence of the connectors see the
chapter "Non-bearing partition
walls, topic screwing".
Rigidur drywall screws are
used to fasten the boards
to the base-structure
(metal or wood) and to
fasten the boards to each
other
Expanding clamp
Wedge clamp
Expanding clamps are used
to fasten the Rigidur boards to each other, wedge

Depths of penetration of connectors
In case of clamping as well as of screwing it is very important to consider the
correct depths of penetration. The
clamps, or respectively, screws must
neither penetrate too deep, nor must
they project, in the letter case filling for
a smooth surface would be impossible
at the spot of the fasteners. Clamps
and screws must either be sunk in level
with the board surface or 1.5 mm deep
as a maximum.

6. Non-bearing partition walls
Non-bearing partition walls are subject to the regulations in DIN
4103-1, DIN 18183 and in special approvals. Rigips offers different
systems for all requirements with varying base-structure, insulation
of cavity or planking.
Metal base-structure/installation procedure
The metal base-structure consists of galvanized steel sheet profiles (connection
and post and beam profiles).
Important note
The cutting of profiles is done with
sheet shears, guillotine shears, nibbler
or circular saw for metal – never with a
parting-off grinder / Flex, since in this
case the corrosion protection will be
destroyed by burning.
Marking
• Mark course of the wall on the floor
➀.
• Don't forget planned doorways.
• Transfer course of the wall to ceiling.
Connection profiles
• The Rigips wall profiles UW are equipped with single-faced adhesive Rigips
connection sealing and are fastened to
floor and ceiling with Rigips nailed dowels with a distance of 1,000 mm ➁.
Note
See page 56 for floor and ceiling connections.

felt, d " 5 mm, fill joints with respective joint filler material in thikkness of board
• Rigips connection sealing A1, d = 12 mm, b = depending on
profile
Post and beam profiles
• The Rigips wall profiles CW (post and
beam) are to be designed in such a
way that they penetrate at least 15
mm into the Rigips wall profile UW
(connection) which is fastened to the
ceiling and are to be set with a gap of
10 to 20 mm ➂.
• The shaft distance in case of the Rigips
post and beam profiles CW amounts
to 500 mm in case of small size and
" 625 mm in case of large size Rigidur
boards.
• The closed side of the Rigips post and
beam profiles CW is to be put into the
direction of the installation (see detailed figure ➃).
Note
On installation of the planking the Rigips wall profiles CW are to be chekked for stability in the connection floor
profiles.

6. Non-bearing partition walls
Planking 1. wall side
• In case of single planking the boards
are installed in the direction of the closed profiles and with opposing joints.
If traverse joints are necessary they
must be aligned with an offset of
! 400 mm ➄.
In case of single
planking the joints
are opposing
• In case of double planking the bottom
layer can also be installed with a butt
joint (see chapter "Joint technique" as
well).
Note
Depending on the respective type of
joint proceed according to the chapter
"Joint techniques".
54

Insulation of cavity
• After planking of the 1. wall side and
the installation of the necessary cable
and pipes in the cavity of the wall the
cavity may be equipped with an insulation to improve sound insulation or fire
protection ➅.
• The cavity must be completely insulated. Make sure that the insulation
material does not slide down.
Planking of 2. wall side
• The planking must be fastened with
opposing joints ➆.
• The subsequent filling of the board joints, connections and screw heads ensures the final stability.
6
7
Important notes
• Separating joints of construction parts of the skeleton are to be
integrated into the Rigips plumbing walls. Otherwise expansion
joints are to be installed at least every 15 m.
• As wall connections the Rigips wall profiles CW are fastened with
a distance of 1,000 mm (at least however 3 pcs.).
• The beginning of the fastening of the Rigips UW, or respectively,
CW connection profiles has a distance of approx. 100 mm from
the respective end of profile.
55
6. Non-bearing partition walls
Connections to floor and ceiling
• The best bottom connection of the
plumbing walls is directly done on the
raw floor.
• A 10 mm edge insulation strap is to be
provided for between the floating floor
screed and the adjacent walls to avoid
the transfer of footfall sound (use A1
mineral wool edge insulation straps in
case of fire protection constructions).
Installation of plumbing
walls on raw floor
• If at a later point of time additional
plumbing walls with sound insulation
requirements are put onto floating
floor screed, this part of the Rigips wall
profiles UW is to be separated and to
be cleaned from any remainders.
• The best top connection of the plumbing walls is done to the raw ceiling.
If plumbing walls are fastened to suspended ceilings or lining of ceilings,
these additional loads resulting from
the plumbing wall are to be supported
especially.
Separation of floating
floor screed
Supporting of additional
loads resulting from the

56
Installation of pipe and cable ducts, electric wall
outlet, etc.
In case of plumbing walls as well as in case of dropped ceilings cavity
wall outlets as per VDE 0606 H and plastic-sheated cables (e.g.: NYM)
are to be installed as material, since they do not need any mechanical
protection.
After execution of the one-sided planking, installation of cables may be started:
• In case of metal post and beams the
prepared H-punches are bent open
(see figure on the right). Punches for
electric cables should be on the same
level if possible.
H-Punching in metal post
• Should cable harnesses or pipes be in- and beam is bent
stalled through the wall, cutting is
possible only to some extent in the
bars of the Rigips wall profiles CW
(max. 1 cut per metre of profile)!
• The insulation must not be damaged
when the cable is pulled through the opening.
Note
Max. width/height of the cut = width of the bar
(e.g. 75) – 20 mm = 55 mm
The profile flanges must not be cut!
In case of larger openings the strength of the mineral wool is lost,
which has a negative effect on the sound insulation.
57
6. Non-bearing partition walls
• If electric wall outlets and switches are
to be installed a wall outlet cutter can
cut the exact opening.
• If electric wall outlets are installed into
fire protection walls as per DIN 4102-4
with the respective insulation of the
cavity (mineral fibre as per DIN 18651, construction material class A, melting point ! 1,000° C as per DIN
4102-17), the insulation layer which is
necessary for fire protection can be
pressed to ! 30 mm behind the outlets. If this is not possible, the electric
wall outlets are to be embedded in plaster. If the cavities are insulated in any
other way, electric wall outlets are
always to be embedded in plaster
construction material.
Note
For reasons of fire protection, and respectively, sound insulation electric wall
outlets are not installed immediately
face to face but offset with regard to
the post and beams.
58
Stable installation of electric wall outlets in the
plumbing wall
Elongation of Rigips wall profiles CW
• For wall heights " 5 metre the joints of
the profiles of the post and beam constructions are just supported by additional pieces of UW profiles. These
profile parts are to be fastened with
blind rivets ! 3.2 x 6 mm. These fasteners are to be installed with a distance
to the joint of " 40 mm.
1000
If the CW-post and beams for plumbing walls with excess heights are
not long enough, they may be easily elongated depending on the
height requirements as follows:
• For wall heights > 5 metre the profile
butts of the CW post and beams are
just interlaced with CW profile pieces.
These profile parts are to be fastened
with blind rivets ! 3.2 x 6 mm, too.
These fasteners are to be installed with
a distance to the joint of " 40 mm.
1000
Elongation for walls
> 5 metre
Elongation for walls

Important notes
• For requirements of sound insulation, and respectively, of fire protection these filler joints must be filled with the respective mineral
wool.
• The butt joints of the CW post and beam to be elongated must
not be at the same height!
• The stated max. height of a wall system must not be exceeded!
• The overlapping of the profile butts results from the value 10 x
width of profile. (Example: CW 50 = 500 mm overlapping on
each profile side)
59
6. Non-bearing partition walls
Planking
• We generally recommend boards for
planking that have the same height as
the room. This not only improves the
physical qualities of the plumbing walls,
but also decreases the necessary work
and material for cutting and filling.
• In case of single planking the joints are
to be aligned opposite on the same
post and beam.
• If planking with room-high boards is not
possible, the necessary horizontal joints
are to be placed in the upper part of
the wall.
• If in case of single planked plumbing
walls horizontal joints are placed within
one planking side, they must have an
offset distance of at least 400 mm.
• In case of several layers of planking
the joints must be offset (250 mm).
• Stripes of boards should at least have
a width of approx. 50 cm.
Installation of boards with
opposing joints
! 400 mm
Distance of necessary horizontal joints in case of
single planking at least

2. Layer: 500 mm
60
Important notes
• In case of single planking: Installation of boards with opposing
joints, work in the direction of the closed side of the profile.
• In case of double planking: the 1. layer may have a butt joint. The
2. layer can be fastened to the 1. layer independing on post and
beam.
To ensure perfect filling of the connections for plumbing walls with
sound insulation, or respectively, fire protection requirements a minimum joint width must be provided as follows:
• Planking to raw floor = 5-10 mm
• Planking to ceiling = approx. 5 mm
• Planking to adjacent wall = approx. 5 mm
Order of fastening of boards with Rigidur drywall
screws
• The 1. board is exactly aligned plumbed with a level and is screwed
from the centre of the first post and beam to the longitudinal edge.
• Make sure that the board joints are set at the centre of the profile.
• The bottom / top fastening point of the board should have a
distance of approx. 100 mm from the ceiling or the floor.

with an offset (distance 20 to 30 mm).
• The minimum screwing distance to the
edge of the boards in case of the
edges of gypsum fibre boards
amounts to ! 10 mm.
• Select the length of the screws so that
they penetrate the Rigips wall profiles
CW by at least 10 mm (also see chapter "Connectors and distances").
• Screw distances in case of single planking: " 250 mm

Important notes
• See chapter "Connectors" for additional information for connectors and connector distances for single and double planking.
• Do not screw planking to Rigips UW profiles (floor/ceiling
connection).
62
Filling in case of double planking
There are two versions of double planking possible:
1. The bottom layer can be installed with butt joint and without filling.Subsequently the top planking layer is fastened on the bottom
layer independent on the post and beam with expanding clamps or
with Rigidur drywall screws 3.9 x 30 mm. Fastening is done all
around in every board as well as in a fastening row in the centre of
the board. Distance of clamps 150 mm, of screws 250 mm.
2. If both layers are to be screwed into the post and beam the same
joint distances with the same board width are to be kept for the
first and second planking layer (application for glue and filler joint).
Only the same joint distance ensures that the connectors each penetrate the profile post and beam.
Important notes
• Before installing of the next layer the joint filler of the bottom
layer must have set, but need not be completely dry.
• To avoid the formation of cracks you may only start filling the
joints of the last planking layer, when both sides of the wall are
closed and no change of the length of the boards can be expected any more.
For further information see chapter "Joint techniques".

Metal base-structure
• Execution:
Rigips recommends generally using
double post and beam walls as parti
tion walls in flats. In this case both
lines of base-structures are friction-lock
connected with double-side adhesive
felt straps over the complete height of
the profile.
1. For a fixing of the distance it is recommended to also equip the
sides of the Rigips UW profiles on ceiling and floor with one-faced
adhesive felts.
2. The CW post and beams are equipped with two-faced adhesive
felt straps on the side facing the cavity; however the adhesive side
facing the adjacent profile is still kept covered.
3. Now the adjacent profile is pushed in holding it slightly tilted; it
is plumbed in, when it has got a stable position on the floor.
4. After uncovering of the adhesive side both profiles are pressed
together.
• Rigips wall profiles UW:
UW 50, UW 75, UW 100 for floor-, and respectively, ceiling

Metal base-structure
• Execution:
The distance of the base-structure is
determined by the necessary thickness
of installation.
– To ensure stability (bearing of loads)
cutting of the profiles is not permitted.
– The parallel aligned CW post and
beams are to be connected to each
other with board strips (! 200 mm
height) at every third of the height of the wall, or respectively every
1,200 mm at the latest.
– To prevent the insulation of the wall cavity from sliding down,
pieces of profiles are stuck to the bar sides of the Rigips CW post
and beam with for example double-faced adhesive tape.
• Rigips wall profiles UW: UW 50, UW 75, UW 100 for connection to
floor, or respectively, to ceiling.
• Rigips wall profiles CW: CW 50, CW 75.
Distance of post and beam: in general. 625 mm for wall

6. Non-bearing partition walls
Installation of sanitary objects
On mounting of sanitary objects into a plumbing wall the large number of plumbing jobs is economically done directly into the plumbing
wall to safe time.
Light-weight loads
• For light-weight loads, e.g. plain washbasin of a maximum width of 600
mm, the supports for the washbasins
can be directly installed into the Rigips
wall profile UW (flush with front).
Subsequently they must be fastened to
the raw floor as well as laterally to the
Rigips wall profiles CW (post and
beams); they must be permanently prevented from sinking. Ensure
that the Rigips wall profile UW permanently rests solidly on the raw
floor.
Heavy loads
Sanitary objects, which are to be regarded as "heavy console loads"
are mounted to pre-fabricated, completely welded or infinitely adjustable Rigips carrier posts. These rustproof carrier posts are to be mounted
in the wall cavity and support the occurring loads together with the
Rigips UA profiles and the planking.
• After installation of the base-structure with carrying posts for sanitary objects and after planking of one wall side the plumber may do
the installation of the sanitary objects.
• Fastening is done with brackets or clamping collars and with the
fasteners provided at the carrier posts.
• To muffle the noise of running water, the pipe fasteners are separated from the wall base-structure by means of rubbers, felt or similar
material.
• Pipes for cold water must be padded to muffle the noise of running
water on the one hand and to prevent to formation of condensation on the other hand.
71
6. Non-bearing partition walls
• For wall-mounted toilets or heavy
washbasins the installation of the carrier posts must be safe against setting
and flush with the Rigips wall profile
UW.
– In case of room-high facing walls the
wall-mounted toilet must be supported.
– An installed, wall-mounted-WC must
be connected to the wall in such a
way, that up to 400 kg of additional
load can be transferred via the basestructure into the massive raw floor..
nstallation of the washbasin post for plain washbasins
Rigips-Tip
In case of plumbing walls it is recommended to order an insulation
of the cavity by mineral wool.
Plumbing ducts
• Plumbing ducts, e.g. for water pipes,
must be cut approx. 10 mm wider
than the diameter of the pipe.
• Plumbing ducts as well as all connections and edges are to be closed with
a plasto-elastic fungicidal sealing compound.
• If shower exits are equipped with special plumbing parts (with
sound insulating rubber sealing) additional measures will be necessary.
72
Single post and beam walls with wooden
base-structure
The wooden base-structure consists of:
Wood of sorting class S10 as per DIN
4074, residual moisture " 20 %.
Wooden base-structure
• Connections:
Wood 40 x 60 or 60 x 60 mm
as connection to floor and ceiling.
• Wooden post and beam:

Wooden base-structure/ installation procedure
Marking
• Mark course of the wall on the floor ➀.
• Don't forget planned doorways.
• Transfer course of the wall to ceiling.
Connection
• The connecting pieces of wood are
equipped with single-faced adhesive Rigips connection sealing and are fastened to floor and ceiling with Rigips dowels with a distance of 1,000 mm ➁.
• The wooden post and beam at the adjacent constructions parts are to be closely connected with Rigips connection
sealing felt for reasons of sound insulation.
Wooden post and beam
• Depending on the requirements of the
height of the wall wooden pieces of 40
x 60 mm or 60 x 60 mm are installed as
base-structure ➂.
• The shaft distance in case of wooden
post and beam amounts to 500 mm in
case of small size construction boards
Rigidur 500 mm and to " 625 mm in
case of large size Rigidur boards
• The wooden post and beam are to be
fastened to the connection wood with
the respective nails or screws.
Note
See page 56 for the connection to
floor/ceiling.

Planking 1. wall side
• In case of single planking the Rigidur
gypsum fibre boards are installed with
opposing joints. If traverse joints are
necessary, they are to be installed with
an offset ! 400 mm ➃.
• In case of double planking the bottom
layer can be installed with butt joint
(also see chapter "Joint techniques").
4
Note
Depending on the chosen type of joint
proceed according to chapter "Joint
techniques".
Insulation of cavity
• After planking of the 1. wall side and
the execution of all electrical and
plumbing jobs in the cavity of the wall,
the cavity will be equipped with insulation to improve the sound insulation,
or respectively the fire protection ➄.
• The cavity must be completely insulated. Ensure that the insulation material
does not slide down.
5
Notes
• In case of wooden walls notching for
ducts is possible in the upper area of
the post and beam. Mind that in
Beplankung
2. Wandseite
case of wooden
post and beams
large recesses for ducts must only be
done with round diameter. For this
purpose a cross section of at least 15
mm must remain on both sides.
• See pages 57/58 for the installation
of electric wall outlets, etc.
75
6. Non-bearing partition walls
• The planking must be installed with
opposing joints ➅.
• The subsequent filling of the board joints, connections and screw heads ensures the final stability.

Installation of doorways
If doorways are planned in Rigips plumbing walls, die loads (door
leaves) must be correspondingly laid off.
Rigips recommendation
Installation instruction doorway with
Rigips bracing profiles UA
• Rigips bracing profiles UA are friction-locked fastened directly to the
good-bearing raw floor and the raw
ceiling with the accessory Rigips connecting angle with 2 x 6er dowel
each and screws (e.g. Hilti wedge
nail DBZ6).
• FFor the bow of the ceiling to be
expected the Rigips bracing profiles
UA are to be cut respectively shorter.
For this purpose screw the ceiling
angle manually only to the long
holes of the Rigips bracing profiles
UA ➀.
• Fasteners must be self-locking nuts.
Normal nuts are to be equipped with
counter nuts ➁.
• The door lintel is horizontally formed
with a Rigips door lintel profile.
• The fastening of the planking is done
into the Rigips bracing profile UA
with Rigips drywall screws TB, which
have a drillbit.

• Vertical joints and unavoidable traverse joints are to be provided with a
distance to the doorway of at least
150 mm ➂.
In case of a room height of max. 260
cm, a door width of max. 88.5 cm and a
weight of the door leaf of max. 25 kg
door cases may be fastened to normal
Rigips wall profiles CW (sheet thickness

Provide planking joints in
any case with a minimum
distance of 150 mm from
the doorway
Important note
Rigips wall profiles CW with wooden
beams do not replace a Rigips bracing
profile UA.
Installation of door cases
• One-piece door cases are installed before planking.
• After finishing of the plumbing wall
and corresponding doorway
multi-part door cases are installed.
• The cavity between profile and door
case is to be filled with insulation
material. If fire protection doors are
installed, it may even become necessary to use mortar. Mind the approval
certificate of the door.

7. Doorways
Important note
The installation of door cases as well as
the insulation are to be done as per
the requirements (as per tendering).
Mind the installation instruction of the
manufacturer of the door cases.
Notes for sound insulation
Openings for doors or windows have a
negative influence of the sound insulation of a separating wall. The requirements of sound insulation as per DIN
4109 generally refer to doors which
have already been installed (door leaf
including frame and door case). The
sound insulation depends on the
sound insulation of the door leaf as
well as on the quality of the notch sealings, above all on the sealing of the
lower door joint. The manufacturers of
doors, and respectively, windows have
to provide the respective certificates for
sound insulation. The influence of
areas with low sound insulation like
doors or windows on the resulting airborne sound insulation of a construction part can be shown by a method
of calculation shown in annex 1 of DIN
4109. ) In this case of the following
values are to be calculated:
• Ratio of the complete wall area to
area of door or window.
• Difference between the evaluated
degree of sound insulation of the
wall and the evaluated degree of
sound insulation of the door or the

There are the same requirements with regard to the planking material
ceiling- and roof slopes as are usually applied to walls. In detail these
are the sectors of thermal insulation, protection against humidity,
sound insulation and fire protection. For reasons of energy saving it
makes sense to insulate and plank the complete roof slope. To fulfil
fire protection-related requirements (danger of wetness due to condensation) not only insulation as well as planking but also a vapour
retardant will be installed all the way up to the ridge of the roof.
Base-structure
• Consisting of: Steel sheet profiles, galvanized as per DIN 18182 or
wooden laths, sorting class S 10 as per DIN 4074, part 1, residual
moisture " 20 %.
Important notes
Correct installation of system:
1. Completely insulate and collar beam ceiling and roof slope and
make them windproof.
2. Screw the base-structure traverse to the rafters/beams of
metal/wood.

87
8. Attic conversion
Insulation/Vapour retardant
• A vapour retardant is to be installed on
the warm side between planking and
thermal insulation to avoid increased vapour diffusion.
• Choose insulation material in such a way
that the insulation mats are pressed between the wooden beams. For this purpose the width of the mats should be
approx. 10 mm more than the clear width between the beams.
• In this case it is especially important to fasten the vapour retardant
air-tight to the beam and the adjacent end wall. Mind the instructions of the manufacturer. Close edges, joints and cracks for example with a suitable adhesive tape.
Important notes
• In general vapour retardants are also air-tight. In this case it is
especially important to permanently seal the connections to adjacent walls and ducts.
• See the respective processing guidelines of the manufacturers of
insulation material for further details..
88
Rigid connections/Details
• For a correct forming of the valley between ceiling and roof area the board
edges of the roof slope should be correspondingly chamfered.
• Insert separating strips between the
planking of the individual areas like
ceiling and slope, slope and wall of
eaves storage space or areas, which
are adjacent to end walls, etc. They
can be painter's strap or some similar
adhesive tapes. (adhesive tapes for vapour retardants are not suitable!) The
filling of the joints is done against
these separating tapes and thus allows
a defined separation of the areas
where hairline cracks occur.
• It is only recommended to seal the
edges, if there are sufficiently wide joints between the planking and the
plasto- elastic joint fillers can only stick
on two sides. Furthermore it must be
pointed out that such joints must be
renewed after some years.

95
9. Ceiling systems
Plumbing ceilings
Plumbing ceilings are suspended from
the existing raw ceiling by means of
approved suspending systems.
Linings of ceilings
Linings of ceilings consist of a basestructure of wooden laths, which is
directly connected to raw ceiling basestructure, Rigips ceiling profiles CD or
Rigips hat ceiling profiles. The anchoring
of the base-structure to the raw ceiling
in this case, too, is done by construction
inspection approved screws or dowels.
Dowels or Screws
• Dowels must have a construction inspection approval for anchoring
of plumbing ceilings as per DIN 18168 with regard to the available
surface.
• In case of wood surface the screws must be screwed into the bearing surface either laterally or from below (screwing into the facing
is not sufficient!). The size of the screws must be sufficient to safely
transfer occurring loads into the surface. The screw length depends
in this case on the thickness of the suspender to be installed plus
the necessary depth of penetration into the surface.
96
Suspending systems
Rigips fast-suspender
• Approved suspenders are Rigips loop
wires or Rigips hook wires with tension
springs and respective Rigips fast suspenders, e.g. anchor fast suspenders
which belong to the base-structure
(laths or Rigips ceiling profiles CD 6006). Rigips fast suspenders allow tension loaded suspended ceilings.
• The approved loads per suspender are
between 0.15 and 0.25 kN.
• The Rigips suspension wire (as per DIN
18168) must at least be pushed
10 mm through the spring of the
bottom part.
Anchor fast suspenders
Important note
In case of higher loads/ceiling weights,
which may be caused by the thickness
pf the planking, Rigips Nonius-systems
are to be used.
97
9. Ceiling systems
Rigips Nonius-Suspending systems
• Rigips Nonius-suspending systems must
always be used, when suspensions must
be rigid in compression.
• Rigips Nonius-suspending systems can
bear loads of up to 0.40 kN.
• The connection of the adjusting bar
and the bottom part of the base-structure is always done with two safety elements.
• Suspenders must always be aligned vertically and in such a way,
that they connect the base-structure to the raw ceiling without any
allowance.
Important note
If suspenders are not vertical or do not take tension loads, there is
the danger of excessive loads and therefore the failure of the immediately adjacent suspenders. Apart from that suspenders, which are
not subject to tension loads, may cause the ceiling areas to rattle in
case of air circulation (draught, etc.).
98
Base-structures
Base-structures may be built from wooden laths with a max. moisture
contents of 20 % or Rigips ceiling profiles CD as per DIN 18182-1. In
case of plumbing ceilings they always consist of base- and carrying
laths, or respectively, profiles. The cross section of the wooden laths
must correspond to the following table.

Important note
Laths for plasterwork are no base-structures!
• The connection of the base and the carrying laths can be done with
a Rigips drywall screw or with a wood construction screw, or respectively, with two nails per crossing point hammered at a slanted
angle.
• In case of CD profile constructions the profiles are connected to
each other with Rigips anchor angles or Rigips cross connectors.
• In case of a level base-structure the Rigips ceiling profiles CD are
connected by means of Rigips safety cross connectors.
• The shaft distances of the base-structures depend on the Rigips ceiling system; details are to be found in the table below.
• Linings of ceilings can also be manufactured from a simple basestructure from nothing but carrying laths, or respectively carrying
profiles.

Planking
Planking of Rigidur ceilings should as a matter of principle be done in
traverse direction to the carrying construction and should be installed
with a traverse joint offset of at least the distance of a carrying lath.
Important note
Cross joints and flying joints are not permitted.
100
• Multi-layer planking is to be installed one above the other with an
offset of the vertical joints of at least 400 mm. The traverse joints
of the top and of the bottom planking, too, must be offset with a
carrying lath distance.
• The permitted span of the Rigidur boards in case of standard systems is summed up in the following table.

requirements the respective test certificates must be regarded.
101
9. Ceiling systems
Connections
Edge connections of plumbing ceilings or lining of ceilings can in general be divided into two categories, i.e. "rigid" and "free" connections.
Note
See chapter "Attic conversion" for information on "rigid connections" on page 89.
Free connections
Free connections are edge connections, in case of which the ceiling
construction does not have any direct connection to the adjacent
construction parts. Such connections are open, or respectively covered
shadow gap joints or connections on visible edge angles.
Free edge connections are used, when considerable bow of the ceiling
or considerable changes of the length of the boards due to high humidity or different movement of the construction parts are to be expected.
102
Installation of Rigidur ceilings
• Marking of the heights of the ceiling at the adjacent construction
parts by means of a plumb-line or laser.
• The Rigips suspenders are fastened to the raw ceiling with the required distances.
• In case of the installation of base and/or carrying laths/profiles the
offset of possible butts by at least the distance of one suspender is
to be regarded.
• The first/last carrying profile of the ceiling is positioned with a distance of approx. 150 mm to the adjacent wall.
• Cut Rigips profiles (sheet shears, guillotine shears or nibbler)
Important note
The plumb-line, or respectively laser beam, is to mark the bottom
edge of the base-structure and not of the planking, since the coloured chalk may become visible through later surface lamination.
Expansion joints
• Expansion joints in plumbing ceilings
must be aligned at least every 15 metres of field length as well as within
the area of the skeleton expansion joints. Additionally they must be provided in case of reductions of areas,
which e.g. frequently occur in case of
hallways.
• The width of the joints depends on the
movements of the construction parts
to be expected. These movements
may be caused by the bow of the
ceilings or changes in temperature or
humidity.
15m
Expansion joints are to be
provided at least every 15
metres
103
9. Ceiling systems
Installations into plumbing ceilings
• For built-in parts e.g. lamps or ventilation outlets with dimensions that are
bigger than the clear distance of the
profiles, the vents in the ceiling areas
must be amended by exchanging of
the base-structure.
• This also generally applies for built-in
parts ! 6 kg.
Exchange for additional
• The loads of the built-in parts are to
installations
be integrated into the raw ceiling by
at least two additional Rigips suspenders per exchange. Furthermore
the number and type of the Rigips suspenders depends on their
load class and the additional load to be taken due to the built-in part.
• Heavy loads, which exceed the additional load of dowels and ceiling
construction, must be directly connected to the raw ceiling or to a
supporting construction, which ensures a load transfer into the raw
ceiling.

109
10. Surface treatment
Surfaces
The contractor who does the final coating of the surface is responsible for the testing of the surface as well as for the use of suitable
materials.
Pre-treatment
• Splashed mortar, filler burrs and similar
must be removed from the board surface.
• Fillings must be dry and if necessary
must be ground to remove burrs.
• The complete surface of board, joints
and fillings must be equally dry.
• The surfaces are to be thoroughly
dusted.
Primer
Rigidur gypsum fibre boards come preprimed, therefore additional primer is
only necessary, if the manufacturer instructs you to do so for the products included in his system or if more safety
may be necessary for further processing
(e.g. in case of thin-wall or textured plasters, paint coatings or tiles).
Important notes
• For an even absorption behaviour of the gypsum fibre boards and
the filler joints we recommend equally spreading of Rikombi
Grund over the complete surface according to the processing instruction, if the manufacturer of the paint does not call for any
other primers. Allow the primer to completely dry before further
processing.
• If the manufacturer calls for a primer, mind that it is completely
and thoroughly dry, before starting further processing.
110
Coats of paint
• All standard paints like emulsion paint,
latex paint, alkyd paint and lacquer are
suitable as a coat of paint.
• Coats of paint on mineral basis like
lime, silicate paint, organic silicate
paint as well as nitro-compound lac
quers are not suitable as coats of
paint.
Important notes
• For a safe result do a trial coating via the width of several boards
including the areas of joints.
• To reliably prevent possible shining through of colour (yellowing)
generally apply a retardant primer.
111
10. Surface treatment
Wall papers
• All types of wallpapers incl. ingrain
wallpaper are suitable.
Only use wallpaper paste on the basis
of methyl cellulose and/or suitable syn
thetic resins.
Rigips-Tip
Due to the application of wallpaper primer the dry wall paper can
often be removed from the Rigidur boards without wetting. Rikombi Grund is suitable as wallpaper primer; it must be applied according to processing instructions.
Plaster
Textured thin-wall on mineral base or
plastic-containing base are suitable for
gypsum construction boards; after application of a retardant primer they may be
easily applied to the Rigidur gypsum
fibre boards.
Rigips Note
If thin-plasters are applied, the areas of the joint must be covered
with reinforcement straps according to the instructions of the manufacturer to avoid possible formation of cracks.
112
Tiles
• Rigidur gypsum fibre boards can be
tiled with plastic or ceramic tiles without any problem. If the manufacturer specifies the use of a primer, the
latter must be applied according to the
instructions of use. A sufficient time of
drying must be granted.
• Flexible thin-bed adhesives applied by
means of a notches trowel are suitable
as adhesive. Flexible joint mortar should be used for the jointing.
Rigips notes
• The tiles must not be soaked in water.
• The tile adhesive must be completely dry before the tile joints are
filled.
• Double planking with Rigidur boards or a decreasing of the
distance of post and beams of 625 mm is not necessary.
• Within the area of showers or bathtubs surface sealings must be of
sufficient size. Corners and ducts are to be suitably sealed with sealing straps, sealing collars or similar material.
• For the damping of structure-borne noises a strap of felt must be
applied between bathtub and planking.
Notes:
Special applications on areas subject to humidity
• Use penetrating primer as well as humidity retardant sealing adhesive e.g. Lastoment 1 (PCI).
• In case of wall surfaces a flexible surface sealing or a thin layer of
sealing is to be applied all over the surface with tile adhesive.
• Close ducts, connections and corners with plasto-elastic joint
filling composition to be water-proof.
• Use fungicidal sanitary sealing material.
• Fittings will be equipped with threaded collars with rubber
sealing.

12. Special applications
Outside applications
Rigidur gypsum fibre boards cannot only be used for dry inside constructions but also for outside applications e.g. for the building of
non load-bearing wall and ceiling constructions in multi-storey car arcades, passageways and roof projections.
Conditions for the planking with
Rigidur outside
• Direct impact of water, e.g. rising
humidity, driving rain, rain or snow
must be excluded.
• Direct solar radiation or heating to
more than 50° C is to be avoided.
• In case of double planking the fastening of both layers must generally be
done in the base-structure.

Example for application:
Roof projection with
Rigidur
Connectors and distances
Rigidur drywall screws as well as construction supervision approved
connector of stainless steel are approved. It is absolutely necessary to
fill the screw heads.
Mind in case of the fastening that the average connection distance in
case of screws is reduced to 150 mm and in case of clamps to 100
mm.
Important note
It is absolutely necessary to fill the screw heads.

Base-structures
• Metal, or respectively, wooden base-structure are to be treated with
respective corrosion protection, or respectively, wood protection.
• Distances of base-structure for wall and ceiling
Wall: max. 416 mm
Ceiling: max. 333 mm.
• Ceiling constructions are to be built pressure stiff, also see the
chapter "Ceilings".
Important notes
• Changes of the length of the Rigidur boards due to the influence
of temperature and humidity must be made up for by regularly
aligned expansion joints at a distance of max. 10 m.
• Condensation due to vapour diffusion is to be prevented.
Calculatory proof for non existing condensation as per DIN 4108
is to be provided.
Joint technique
The Rigidur boards are to be installed with Rigidur Joint adhesive or
Rigidur Nature Line Joint adhesive on the front sides, they must be filled or designed as open joint. In case of connections to other construction parts (e.g. concrete) the construction of the boards must be
separated from the adjacent construction part.
Final coating
Before any final coating is done the Rigidur board is to be coated
with a retardant primer. The board as well as the final coating e.g.
paint or plaster, must have the manufacturer's approval for the respective purpose of use and must light-transmissive.
