In Figure 1 and 2 one can see the intricate interior, compound-curve, galvanized steel, stud wall systems developed by GQ Contracting, Wickliffe, Ohio, a certified BASWA®phon installer. This custom metal stud substructure will be covered with two layers of 5/8" drywall to provide sound isolation in the classrooms. Then the taped drywall surfaces will be treated with BASWA®phon. The first step, which involves gluing on the precoated BASWA®phon panels begins the first week of January.

The compound steel wall studs have been covered in two layers of daywall and we now begin the application of BASWA®phon precoated panels and base coat. In Figure 3, we see the BASWA®phon base and top coats applied directly to a very complicated ceiling with many openings for lighting, HVAC and mechanical supports. Figure 4 illustrates the application of pre-coated panels to a wall area. In Figure 5 the base coat is applied to the pre-coated panels. Figure 6 illustrates the transition from base coat to pre-coated panels also showing the compound curve wall ceiling intersection. In Figure 7 we see a structural expansion joint detail.
