Hi Guys,
As the thread title suggests, we're rapidly approaching that stage where I'll need to do skirts and archs for my new steel frame PPOR. Any ideas from the tradies out there?
Should I just use wing techs or is there a nailgun solution I could use. Screwing sounds like a lot of work, although I do own a damn good Dewalt 18v LiIon bushless driver so should be OK.
While I'm at it, has anyone done a 60/60/60 FRL external wall before and can recommend a solution for me? I've already put the custom orb cladding on to the steel frame before I spoke to the certifier and he reminded me it was supposed to be fire rated. CSR say I need to rip the cladding back off and put a 16mm firecheck water resistant gyprock sheet in under it then re-attach the cladding. I said it would work the same if I put it on the inside wall as its steel frame on a concrete slab with no in-wall insulation but their systems haven't been signed off that way so requires the cladding to come off and the gyprock sheets attached to the outside face. Bugga.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
