Couldn't get along with an impact driver, ended up paying a few quid for a drywall screw drill bit and it made screwing a mindless task. I like videos like this, common problems that people will come up a cropper at some point. Great vid your videos have really helped me over the years, keep them coming

As a drywall fixer you explained everything perfect for anybody attempting this themselves. On site we wouldn't get away with using the adhesive on the bottom face, we would have to use some mf6 or angle on the adjoining slabs and box around the beam. Great video as always.

It is surprisingly easy to drill thru an rsj. 4mm pilot then a 6mm ,, trick is a spray of cutting fluid. When you have the knack it is a lot less annoying and much quicker and accurate than banging those noggings in.

@paulleyj Год назад

A great video as always .. it’s good to see how to go about putting things together. One thing I’m looking to do is fix in bi-fold doors under an RSJ opening.. .. What is the best way to lower/ secure the bi-fold door frame to the RSJ, which is less than the RSJ hight?

@michaelplays2449 Год назад

@johnbower 24 дня назад

Good work, but before knocking those vertical pieces of wood into the steel beam I would have applied adhesive to each end of the wood, the end grain of the wood would carry the adhesive in as the wood was knocked into place.

@AccountantDoesDIY Год назад

Great video mate and very easy to follow and understand. The only thing I’d add is to be careful with impact drivers and drywall screws - I found it very easy to go straight through the plasterboard. Instead I used my combi drill on gear 6 or 7. This seemed to be the right gear that the clutch would release just as the screw got about 1mm depressing the paper on the plasterboard. One gear lower and the screw head would sit too proud, one gear higher and the screw chewed into too much plasterboard.

@TheDIYGuy1 Год назад

Good point 👍

@georgeanastasi7729 Год назад

@mrgipps9451 Год назад

Li'l tip. When you need to cut multiple rips of plaster board to exacting measurements. eg; beam encasements. All measurements need to come from a good edge, preferably factory edge. Take measurements both sides (191) & underside of the beam. (100) let's say you need 3 rips of 191mm. Mark the face of board 191mm, 382mm, 573mm then 673mm & 773mm for 2 100mm rips. Then cut board. Every cut will be mm perfect.

@mikenkaried4543 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video! very helpful. What I have been looking for, and possibly this is something you can help show us, on the outside of a building that has external steel siding skin attached to an inside red iron steel beam, I want to attach an external joist hanger through the skin into the Iron to support a "lean to" or sloped external wood beam every 16 or 24" apart along the outside wall that will support a covered porch. Ideally if you could get on the inside of the skin you could install wood pieces like you did here to attach to, but when you do not have access and the skin is already attached using bolts and nuts into the inside Iron beam, and you dont want to have to pre drill through skinn and into the beam for each and every connector from your joist hanger, what is the best way to attach those joist hangers all the way in through the skin and into the proper internal support?

@thomassheridan4252 Год назад

Nice simple instructions I would of used a timber on the bottom of the steel either by fixing a batton to the plasterboard,or a nail gun (hilti) but this would of course lower the head height, very good video as usual.

Hi mate. Excellent video as always. Any chance of a video of boxing in piping? Cheers.

@Mee10792 Год назад

And to comply with building regs for steel to be covered with at least 30 mins fire protection, don't forget to use fireline plasterboard, or two layers of standard plasterboard with brickwork/overlapping joints.

@willbee6785 Год назад

Yes.

@Jim-fw4rx Год назад

That always amazes me. Fire protection around an RSJ, but single plasterboard around ceiling joists.

@pcatful 8 месяцев назад

I wonder if this method is approved for fire rating. The plaster board is not mechanically secured to anything.

Steel beams can contort in a fire and cause more rapid failure in the structure. @@Jim-fw4rx

Could you put the adhesive on back of the batton before you Hammer it in? Rather than trying to squeeze in behind after? And why not put baton underneath so it's same width? You said it would be wider? Sorry I can't picture how it would be wider...?

@soulrider678 10 месяцев назад

Great video and has helped but I have two steels to timber up and one is recessed shallower than the wall. Assuming it’s fine to have the batton coming out further so it’s flush with the wall? Pitched roof so space above needs to be dot and dab’ed so going to double up on the fire board there

@TheDIYGuy1 10 месяцев назад

Sure 👍

@jamesbancroft2872 Год назад

Another excellent video very informative ,I have this job do , it will come in handy . Now for a question , i am putting new skirting on do I plug and screw this or use a no nails adhesive, the painter wants me to use the adhesive of course as it makes life easier for him ,no filling and rubbing down , but which is best ? what will you use when you do your skirting ?

@TheDIYGuy1 Год назад

Sure, here’s my advice. If you are installing on dead flat walls in a new build for example then use adhesive + a second fix nail gun if you have one. If you installing in an old property with solid walls then I would plug and screw.

@jamesbancroft2872 Год назад

Thanks will use adhesive and borrow a nail gun .Thanks for your quick reply.

@israeladesanya4596 Год назад

@azza1793 4 месяца назад

My local council “Building Inspector” refused to allow me to use friction noggings but instead insisted on British Gypsum metal framework system however i did manage to get away with timber framing just not relying on friction fitting, his argument was that any expansion of the steel in a fire would cause the noggings to fail. So much for all the friction noggings which have been used for decades, just goes to show that so called Building Inspectors dont always know what they are talking about

Subscribed. However, I thought wood had to be shot through the web these days for Building Regs in UK. You happy thats not the case? Just asking.

@tonymcroberts3252 Год назад

Should of let the plasterboard hang 25mm lower than what you did and screwed through the board into a length of tile batton held tight against the bottom of the rsj then fit the bottom piece in place and screw up into the tile batton no need for props until the adhesive has gone off plus a good fixing for the plasterer to fix his beads.

@DavidWillett-cv6lf Год назад

to get a nice straight finish you usually use angle beading .not sure how he would attach it to the metal beam underneath

Angle beading for finishing plaster? If that’s what you mean then you just use bonding or finish in dobs to attach the angle bead

What adhesive is appropriate? Others describe a risk that the adhesive will melt, causing the gypsum board to fall off and ruin the fire rating. The adhesive also sounds too easy..

So this uses 49% recycled plastic and therefore 50 or 51 % new plastic every block. The petrochemical industry will love this keeping us dependent on petrochemicals.

I used to stick boards to steels but this is no longer acceptable to building control because they claim in a fire it falls off potential.y on a fireman’s head. Shame because it’s much quicker and easier to stick the drywall.

@clivewilliams3661 Год назад

The main issue with this is that the steel must be there for a reason - its probably holding something up and therefore it is likely to be considered an element of structure, so that it has to be fire-proofed. Depending on the class of the building, I would suspect the rating to be 1/2hr or 1hr. Normal 1/2" plasterboard would not comply with the requirements of 1/2hr protection although 2 layers would. The other big issue here is that the plasterboard framework should be non-combustible so wood is the wrong material to use. Normally, double C metal clips are used on the flanges that allow the use of drywall screws for fixing into the light gauge metal. Vertical studs are then either further pieces of light gauge metal (typically suspended ceiling angle) fixed top and bottom or two pieces of plasterboard back to back wedged vertically in place. Unfortunately, what is shown is typical of small building construction that is difficult to inspect for Building Control so is rarely condemned. Its an issue for our poorly educated trades and badly regulated construction industry

@TheDIYGuy1 Год назад

Unfortunately your wrong. Structural engineer drew the plans up for this and submitted to building control who have inspected it and passed it. 12.5mm fire line board taped and 3mm skim providing 30minute fire resistance. 2 layers are only required if your board isn’t fire line board.

@clivewilliams3661 Год назад

@@TheDIYGuy1 I was not aware of the use of fire-line board and you did not mention any fire-proofing requirement. Unfortunately, videos like this are seen by many as 'how to' so that you could give the false impression by omission, meaning that others could blithely copy your detailing, without any reference to building control. Notwithstanding the casing in fire-line board there is still the requirement to frame the steel with light gauge metal and not timber - Check out BG's White Book (the plasterboard bible). I have yet to see a structural engineer's spec go into the detailing of how the casing is to be constructed probably only (if at all) commenting that it should be 30mins fire resistance.
