board ceilings, the P35 has been flexible joint section
designed for movement of up to 5mm
in each direction.
PVC is inherently flame resistant in the
sense that if the source of the flame is
removed, it will self-extinguish. The P35
has been approved for use in fire rated
walls and ceilings. (See building board
manufacturer’s installation details.)
This pre-assembled, ready to use Control
Joint has been designed for interior
use only and when finished leaves a
straight, low profile reveal.
Control joints should be placed as
recommended by the building board
manufacturer for both ceilings and
walls, or where Control Joints occur in
the building structure. Control joints
should also be used where dissimilar
building materials are joined to allow
for differential movement in the
materials.
