How to 'BOX UP' an RSJ

[N3mo]

Hi guys, have ascertained from Woody that manually with bolster is the least messy way to take down wall.

How do you box in the beam though? I believe plasterboard is used but how do you fix it to the beam? Especially when the side of the beam are the edges of the flats and the only surface they do have is the top and bottom.

We have all our beams pre-drilled, that are intended for boxing in.

Timber sandwich each side of the web and bolted right through.

Fix boards to the timber sandwich.

plasterboard and sticky foam's the rough way of doing it.
