The aim of this course
is to instruct you in the erection of metal stud partitions.
Working a plan you will be shown how to 'set out the
site', and lay metal tracks in readiness for the studwork,
you will be instructed on how to transfer the track
from ceiling to floor, leveling in the studwork.
How to leave windows and door opening changing direction
of the studwork to form a 'splay' and corner.
You will be taught the correct method of measuring,
cutting and fixing plasterboard, and how to fix difficult
obstacles, door and window returns, splayed walls
and ceilings. We will show you the use of several
taping methods, paper, fibre and metal corners, and
how to apply and bed in these tapes.
We will teach you the caulking techniques to achieve
flush joints to internal and external corners, how to
‘feather out’ joints and sand down to form
walls and ceilings ready for decoration.
You will be taught how to apply plasterboard directly
onto concrete/thermal blocks and brickwork. (The dot-dab
method).
Also covered in this course is the correct procedure
and application of the M.F. system for suspended ceilings
and The Gypliner wall system.
This is a very comprehensive first step into the world
of drylining.
Certification for this course can be used towards NVQ
units VR01, VR03, VR129, VR130 and VR131.
