Everest – Presence in India


Everest Solid Wall Panel

India is now becoming a global real estate hub. With a growth rate of around 15 % in the building

construction sector, India poses itself as a happening playground for the world players in the field of

construction business. With more and more MNCs, BPOs, KPOs coming in, Indian construction

industry is moving fast towards a period where speed of construction and strength of the structure

will be the key areas of gaining competitive advantage and thus more profitability.

Seeing the great opportunity present in the construction market, we would like to build up an

association between the two companies, for our joint working.

The Dry Wall Systems Drywall is a concept that originated in the west, and moved to countries with advancement in

construction technology. As the rate of construction increased in countries like India and the cost of

material as well as labour increased, the need was to find an alternative that would help to cut down

project costs and could give speedy construction. The drywall construction was an answer to this.

Since the drywall is constructed with modules which are pre-cured and are easy to install, it reduces

the overall project cost by reducing the number of man hours out in the construction process.

Another advantage of the drywall systems is that the changes required at any time in the

construction could be done with ease. At times the whole structure could be moved (if required)

Everest Fixing Compound The Everest Fixing Compound is mixed with sodium silicate to join the tongue and groove of the two

adjacent solid wall panels. The mixture joins the two panels in a homogeneous manner and gives it

strength and a longer life. The mixture consists of three parts (by weight) of Sodium Silicate of

Commercial Grade and one part (by weight) of Everest Fixing Compound. The mixture binds with the

tongue and groove section of the respective panels in contact and provides suitable strength.

Everest Jointing Compound It is specially formulated jointing compound in powder form, used for jointing & finishing of cement

fiber board as per normal recommended practice. It has been formulated as per International

standard to have more user friendly features. It is used for jointing & finishing of joints of cement

fiber board to obtain flush & seamless finish.

This is an air drying material having improved properties in terms of flexibility & anti cracking. This is

specially developed to be used for medium suction building boards & also to suit tropical climatic as

General Guidelines

Installation Procedures

Step 1: Check the level of the ground with water level

tube. Mark the layout of the partitions plan on the

floor.

Step 2: Cut the floor channels to the required lengths

and fix the GI bottom U-profile channel on the floor by

using expandable screws and caps. Wherever required

please provide leveling strips/ packing strips under the

bottom track. Fix the U-profile GI Channel as vertical at

one end of the partition in plumb. Mark the ceiling with

plumb to the floor channel and fix the Top track to the

slab with screws and cap.

Note: Preferred screw is No. 8 size and length 35mm/50mm. Height of the Everest Solid Wall Panel

should be approx. 18mm less than the gap between the floor and ceiling.

Step 3: Clean the floor channels, tongue and groove portion of the Module for firm fixing.

Step 4: Insert the Module by lifting and tilting it into ceiling channel first, and then position the same

by pushing from smaller size edge of the floor channel .Position the module and push towards wall.

Step 5: Check the right angle of the panel (using Set Square) and adjust by inserting wooden packing

in between floor channel and Module to ensure right angle.

Step 6: Apply sodium silicate and Everest Fixing Compound paste on entire length of tongue and

groove for proper joining and Slide Everest Solid Wall Panels one after the other in to the floor and


ceiling channels and fixed together by same method. Ensure that sodium silicate and Everest Fixing

Compound is applied in every joint of Everest Solid Wall Panel.

Door and Window fixing Details Different Types of Door Frames like steel, aluminium,

and timber can be fixed to the Everest Solid Wall

Panels.

Typical floor plan showing different cases of door

positioning is drawn for quick reference.

CASE 1: Door Frame 300mm away from Column / Wall

• Fix the floor channel leaving the gap for the door

as per the size of the door and fix the ceiling

channel to the entire length of the partition.

• Cut the standard 600mm wide panel to make it a

300mm wide panel. Cut the panel to L shape on

the top, for resting the lintel panel. The width of the L remains constant i.e. 150mm whereas the

height of the L varies depending upon the door height.

• Fix the door frame in position.

• Cut the 600m wide panel, which is to be fixed to other side

of the door frame, to L shape in opposite side to the first

panel. Now the partition is ready to take the lintel panel.

• Length of the Lintel panel should be 300m plus the door

opening for providing the minimum bearing of 150mm on

either side of the opening. Width of the Lintel panel is to

be decided by the space available above the door opening.

• Fix the

remaining panels and complete the partition,

as per the procedure described for full height

partitions. Now the Door can be fixed.

• The partition wall is ready and is to be finished as

per the finishing procedures.

CASE 2: When the door is to be fixed from the

starting of the partition i.e. Brick Wall / Column

• Start Construction the partition where there is

no opening.

• Complete the partition up to the door. Last panel

is to be cut for resting the panel. The width is to be reduced by 150mm and the height is to be

decided as per the height of the door opening.

• Mark the height of the door opening on the column. Ensure that it is in level with the cut panel

and Fix a M.S. Bracket, of Size 75 x 75 x 6mm and 50mm wide, to the column with anchor

fastener.

• Position the door frame and fix it to the panel on one side and to the column on the other.

• Position the lintel panel on vertical panel and MS bracket and fix the lintel panel.


• Fix the door shutter and finish the partition as per requirement.

CASE 3: When two doors are fixed at one place

• First construct the first wall perpendicular to the wall on which the doors are to be placed. The

length of the wall should be less by the thickness of the panel, than the length required so that

the overall size is maintained after

fixing the front wall.

• A 300mm panel is required for fixing

the two door frames. The height of

this panel should be same as the two

door opening. Fix this panel to the

wall A as shown in the drawing.

• Start constructing the wall on which

the doors are to be made, as shown,

up to the last but one panel. At the door opening, cut L in the last vertical panel of size 150mm

width and depth as per door opening to rest the lintel panel

• Position the door frame and fasten it to both the adjacent panel.

• Fix the second frame to the 300mm wide panel, on the wall C side. Cut “L” in the first panel of

wall C, of 150mm wide and height depending upon the door opening.

• Fix the lintel panel as per the procedure described.

• Continue to build the other walls to complete the partition.

• Fix the door shutter of required size and do the finishing as per the procedure.

Glass Window Fixing

• Partition wall to be constructed as per the procedure described.

• Glass can be provided in Everest Solid Wall Panel partitions to the required height using frames

and beading in the timber, MDF or aluminum. A view for the same is shown.

• At least one panel is required on either side of the glass to support the lintel panel.

• Horizontal panels are fixed above glass openings with minimum bearing of 150mm to transmit

loads on vertical panels.

• Maximum length of the glass panel can be 2700mm (after which a vertical panel has to be used),

• Various treatments can be given to the lintel panel as per the design keeping that minimum

width of the lintel panel has to be 30mm

• Lintel panel is fixed as per the described procedure. Clean the surface at the grout filled portion

for lintel panels and treat the joint as per details of finishing.


Product Selector

The selection of the Everest Solid Wall Panel for the specific application would depend on the load

* Recess Edge panels are recommended where flush joints/Joint-less finish are required.

The thickness of the Everest Solid Wall Panels is decided on the basis of design parameters. Recess

Edge panels are recommended for all seamless / flush joint / Joint-less applications. Panels with

tongue and groove on 600mm portion for Jumbo height partition can be offered on specific

requirement.

Length of the panel to be used is selected based upon the height of the partition required. The

Panels are available in lengths of 2400mm, 2700mm and 3000mm.

In certain cases, depending upon the length of the partitions the width of the panel is to be cut to

size. However panels of width less than 150mm should not be used in partitions.

In case the length of the partition is in multiples of 600mm, the tongue portion of one panel (last

panel) is to be removed and the width is to be reduced, from tongue side, as per size requirement.

If the length of the partition is in multiples of 600mm + X, where x > 150mm <600mm, the width of

one panel (last panel) is to be reduced, from tongue side, as per the size requirement.

Further, if the length of the partition is in multiples of 600mm + x where x < 150mm, the width is to

be reduced from two panels, preferably the first and the last panels of the partition, as per the size

requirement. The reduction in width for the first Module should be done from groove side and for

last panel from tongue side.

Remarks

• The thickness of the Everest Solid Wall Panel is decided on the basis of design parameters.

• For joint-less finish we recommended the bevelled edge Everest Solid Wall Panels.

Accessories

Floor & Ceiling Channels

The size of the channels, to be used depends upon the thickness of the selected panels. Everest

recommends 1.25mm thick G.I. Channels. The thickness of the channels is 1.20 mm and the sides are

of height 25 mm and 14 mm leaving a height gap of 11 mm


Installation Details

Full Height Partition After selecting the panels and accessories as detailed in previous segments, the construction for the

partitions can be carried out in the following way: -

• Mark the floor plan as per approved drawing.

• Cut the floor channels (F.C.) to the required lengths.

• Place the smaller size edge of the F.C. towards the

working side – for the ease of lifting and positioning

of the panels.

• Fasten the F.C. to the floor, with self expansion

screws of size N8 x 35/50mm at every 600mm

center to center on base of the channel. First screw

shall be at 50mm away from the starting point.

• Mark the ceiling plumb to F.C. and fix Ceiling

channels to the ceiling, with self expansion screws.

• Height of the Everest Solid Wall Panels used should be approx. 18mm less than the gap between

the floor and ceiling. Required size of the panel is to be cut from the standard 2.4m, 2.7m or 3m

long panels. The height needs to be checked and maintained for each individual panel before

inserting.

• Clean the floor channels, tongue and groove portion of the panels for firm fixing.

• Lift and keep the first panel vertical to the floor with the groove side towards the wall end.

• Insert the panel by lifting and tilting into ceiling channel first, and then position the same by

pushing from smaller size edge of the floor channel with the help of two heavy duty wide steel

wedges without damaging the corners.

• Position the panel and push towards the wall.

• Check the right angle of the panel (using Set-Square) and adjust by inserting wooden wedge in

between floor channel and panel to ensure right angle.

• Similarly, the second panel is also inserted in such a way that the groove of the second panel and

the tongue of the first panel are in perfect mesh.

• The tongue and groove joint is filled with the sodium silicate compound, spread evenly over the

tongue-groove intersection.

• The second panel is then pushed to fix into the first panel leaving a uniform gap between the

two panel surfaces.

• The surface is then treated as per the finish required. The joint-less finish may be obtained on

beveled panels using the mesh tape and the Everest Jointing compound.


Half Height Partition Everest Solid Wall Panels are ideal for half height partitions as these are single monolith in nature

and therefore offer sturdiness.

Procedure

• Fix the floor channel with self expansion screws at every 600mm center to centre.

• The first panel starting from the brick wall shall be fixed as shown in the figure

• Fill the groove portion of panel with Everest Jointing compound and push towards the wall. The

gap may be filled with a suitable flexible silicone sealant making a proper wall abutment.

• Alternatively, floor channel can be used vertically for supporting the panel to avoid any lateral

movement. However for better aesthetic looks one can cover

the channels with beadings of different material.

• Join panels in the similar fashion one by one.

• Apply Everest sodium silicate mixture on entire length of the

tongue and groove joint to improve the stability and prevent

lateral movement.

• L and T joints should be done as per the procedure described

earlier.

• The top end and free end of the partition walls must be

covered using beading as per design. Different materials like

timber, aluminium, PVC can be used as the beading material.

• Apply a suitable adhesive on the inner surface of the beading before fixing to the panels.

• The half height partitions are ready for finishing as per the procedure detailed in the chapter on

finishing
