How should the junctions of internal partition walls with concrete separating floors be constructed?
1. Install internal metal stud partitions either up to the ceiling lining or through the ceiling lining, provided the head channel of the metal stud partitions fully seals the void between the wall linings, such that there are no air paths from the ceiling void to the partition void. 2. Install loadbearing masonry internal partition walls up to the underside of the floor, provided the floor is continuous over the wall and the wall has a minimum mass per unit area of 120kg/m2 (including the finish). 3. Construct the internal wall directly off core floor with the floating floor treatment installed around the internal walls, provided: • the 5mm (min) resilient flanking strip is correctly installed to all perimeters of the floating floor treatment to isolate the floor from all the walls and skirtings • all other relevant parts of the Robust Details Part E Handbook are strictly followed4. Construct the internal wall off the floating floor treatment flooring board, provided: • the floating f
