You can be sure with CSR
CSR is a leading diversified manufacturing company with operations throughout
Australia as well as Asia and New Zealand. For more than 150 years, CSR has
been famous for the certainty built in to the company’s range of leading products
and services.
Gyprock™ plasterboard and Cemintel™ fibre cement sheet products are proudly
made in Australia.
Sustainability
CSR produces a range of energy efficient building products and systems which
have the potential to reduce heating and cooling costs of homes and buildings,
essentially saving tonnes of greenhouse gases each year. Many of these
products are also produced from recycled materials thus:
• Reducing the demand for raw materials
• Lowering emissions and pollution during manufacturing
• Saving land-fill space.
CSR Guarantee
CSR Building Products guarantees its Gyprock™ products to be free of defects
in materials and manufacture.
If a CSR product does not meet our standard, we will, at our option, replace or
repair it, supply an equivalent product, or pay for doing one of these.
CSR recommends that only products, components and systems recommended
by it be used. If this is not done, CSR will need to be satisfied that any defect
in its product is attributable to our failure to meet our standard (and not another
cause) before this guarantee applies.
This guarantee excludes all other guarantees and liability for damage or loss
in connection with defects in CSR's product, other than those imposed by
legislation.

The Red Book™ G1

Introduction
Flanking sounds reach adjoining areas by indirect paths,
rather than through the dividing element. The components
and cavities of the walls, floors and ceilings that surround the
dividing element are the main paths for flanking transmission.
When designing for room-to-room performance, all flanking
paths should be considered, as well as the dividing element
itself.
The flanking path values in this section are a guide to the
maximum sound transmission values that would be achieved
in a laboratory test. The rating assumes that the dividing
wall that is being flanked has an equivalent or higher sound
transmission performance (Rw or Rw + Ctr) than the flanking
value. Where a flanking system has a rating higher than that
of the dividing wall, the room-to-room transmission should
be taken as the wall value.
Each flanking path system is represented by a typical layout,
and is associated with one or more details. The details
show an example of the construction required, but must be
amended to suit the system specification and lining. Dividing
walls shown as single studs may be substituted with other
construction such as staggered studs, double studs and
masonry walls to achieve the same results.
Panel ceiling systems must have no lights or penetrations
within 600mm of dividing wall and plasterboard ceilings
must have no acoustically untreated penetrations in rooms
adjacent to dividing wall.
Building systems and construction methods can vary greatly
from site to site. CSR recommends that where acoustic
performance is important, an acoustic engineer be consulted
to assess the suitability of the flanking system values detailed
in this section.
