Planning, logistics efficiency Interior walls for finished Granab subfloors
Walls for flats or other subdivisions are first erected from floor to ceiling. It is advisable to erect interior walls within a flat or subdivision on finished Granab subflooring, including the chipboard. Erection of interior walls in this manner permits the chipboard to be installed quicker and entails less waste in that one is working with larger, continuous floor surfaces. Material consumption for the interior walls is lower and installation of both the Granab floor and interior walls goes significantly faster.

Intra-transport in conjunction with framework construction Because Granab systems consist of non-organic materials and are not affected by moisture or temperature variations, they can be delivered while the framework is still under construction. Granab girders can be produced with a maximum length of 2600 mm – the same length as for a bundle of plasterboard. The plasterboard for the walls can be moved in along with the wall girders, which are placed on stands above the Granab girder packages. By lifting the materials into place during framework construction and erecting the interior walls above the Granab system, workflow is more efficient and costs for logistics are minimised.
Girders are pre-cut to the correct lengths according to the drawing for each room unit. 9

Installation, step by step Granab Subfloor Systems System 3000
System 7000
1. Support block and dampening
element
Sections with support blocks and dampening elements, level adjustment screws and concrete anchors
Important general joints:
NB: Always ensure that the flooring manufacturer's requirements are fulfilled regarding expansion joints, gaps against walls, etc. Both prior to installation and after installation, all surfaces must be carefully cleaned. All adjustment screws must be carefully secured in the subfloor with concrete anchors. If all adjustment screws are not properly secured, there is risk for creaking and unevenness in the floor covering after installation. Adjustment screws must always be recessed into the floor girders so that the upper edges of the adjuster screws do not come in contact with the floor covering, which would cause “bridging� in the sound insulation. When installing chipboard or chipboard/parquet on the girders, it is very important that the chipboard or parquet is not in contact with walls. There must always be a gap of about 5 mm between the walls and chipboard/parquet so that the floor is able to move freely. This is necessary to ensure that the planned sound insulation is attained. Furthermore, relative humidity in the room is very important to take into consideration when using wood-based flooring, both during and after laying. The manufacturer's instructions must be carefully followed. Carefully follow the points on the installer's checklist on pages 22–23. 12
If blocks and dampening elements are not ordered factory-installed in the girders, these shall be fitted in the girders according to the general drawings on page 4, alternatively, page 5.
2. Laying out girders
3. Height adjustment,
The girders are laid out according to the general drawing on page 4, alternatively page 5, depending on the choice of system – 3000 or 7000 (residential). For offices, schools and assembly rooms, see c/c distance, girders, on page 6. When using installation instructions prepared by Granab for specific projects, follow the specifications for girder locations on the layout drawing.
frame girders
Height adjustment, first frame girders, using a laser. The height is adjusted to 10 mm lower than the final girder height. Begin with the adjustment screws that are to be fitted at each end and at the middle of the girder. The girders are adjusted upwards with the screwing tool in an electric drill. See page 10.
To facilitate installation and obtain the correct c/c spacing between the girders, use a Granab girder spacer. Girder spacers are available in the following lengths: 300, 400, 500 and 600 mm. See page 10.
13
4. Attachment of frame girders
Begin by attaching the frame girders. Drill through the adjustment screw down into the base about 30 mm when using a 25-mm long concrete anchor (also available in 40-mm lengths). NB: Begin with three points of attachment (at the ends and middle of each girder). Drop the concrete anchor through the screw. Secure the concrete anchor using an installation mandrel, cat. no. 850. See page 10. The frame girders are now in place, adjusted to 10Â mm below the final girder height.
14
5. Other girders
Follow the same attachment and height adjustment method for all other girders as used for the frame girders (10 mm lower than the final height with three points of attachment).
6. Trimming and adjustment of
7. Recessing adjustment screws
adjustment screws
Once all girders have been adjusted to 10 mm under the final height with three points of attachment in each girder, the girder screws must be trimmed even with the tops of the girders. Trim the screws using a chisel.
Once the screws at the three points of attachment in each girder have been trimmed, all girders are adjusted 10 mm upward to their final height. NB: The reason for trimming the adjustment screws and for the girders being adjusted upward 10mm only after trimming is to prevent the upper edges of the adjustment screws from coming in contact with the overlying floor covering installed later. This procedure ensures that they are recessed into the sections. “Bridging� in the sound insulation would otherwise occur if the upper edges of the screws were in contact with the floor covering.
15
8. Adjustment of adjustment screws
Approximately 10 mm of clearance between adjustment screw and subfloor
10 mm
After the girders have been installed and adjusted upwards at their three points of attachment to the final, correct height, attachment of all other adjustment screws in the girder holes is begun; the blocks with the dampening elements are pre-fitted. NB: The screws are threaded down into the respective girders with the blocks so that there is about 10 mm remaining to the subfloor (see the figure at the upper right). The screws are thereafter trimmed and threaded down towards the subfloor.
16
9. Recessing adjustment screws
Lastly, the screws are secured using the same method as previously described for the concrete anchors. After all girders are properly secured to the subfloor and adjusted to their final height, all points of attachment must be checked to ensure that all screws are recessed into the girders. NB: If any screw projects above a girder (so that it can come in contact with the subsequently laid floor covering), it must be recessed. This is done using Granab's cutting drill bit for recessing adjustment screws, cat. no. 8600, that is included in the standard set of installation tools (see the accessories on page 10). Lastly, check that all screws are properly secured to the subfloor.
10.
Alternative attachments On some projects, concrete anchors can be replaced with concrete screws, alternatively concrete nails, set in place using a bolt gun. (NB: Not recommended for prefab subfloors of the type HDF) Wood screws are used with wooden subfloors.
Carefully follow the points on the checklist for the installer's inspection on pages 22–23.
17
11.
Door openings, thresholds, cover mouldings, System 3000
A board is placed on the girder flanges as a foundation for subsequent installation of a door threshold or cover moulding (NB: Not chipboard).
18
12.
Door openings, thresholds, cover mouldings, System 7000
The girder is installed at the centre of the door opening so that the board has the same height difference as other girders. The board must be screwed and glued to the girder in the door opening. The board is used for subsequent installation of a threshold or cover moulding.
13.
Installation at high height
For construction heights over 250 mm, the floor covering can be attached at the room corners for lateral stabilisation.
14.
Installation at extra high height
As standard, the level of the Granab Subfloor System 7000 can be adjusted up to 420 mm. If heights are preferred up to approximately 1000 mm, masonite beams are fitted to the Granab girders. Masonite beams are available in various heights and lengths. Masonite beams are secured to Granab girders with Superset no. 3879 or equivalent and self-tapping screws. NB:Â Mounting screws may not come in contact with adjustment screws/blocks.
15.
Installation of skirting
When attaching the skirting, it must be pressed hard down against the floor covering.
19
16.
Installation of plastic film on Granab girders in moist environments NB: The plastic film is installed above the girders – not directly on the concrete subfloor. Installation, floating parquet
Granab systems, including girders, are entirely non-organic and not affected by moist environments. By placing the plastic film over the girders, effective, long-lasting moisture protection is obtained against the floor layer above.
Installation, floating 22-mm chipboard
Granab systems, including girders, are entirely non-organic and not affected by moist environments. By placing the plastic film over the girders, effective moisture protection is obtained against the floor layer above.
Masonite beam installation
Plastic film used in installation of masonite lightweight beams. NB: The plastic film is placed under the masonite beam.
Ventilated subfloors when moisture, mould or radon is present Granab subfloor systems entail: • Free airflow between floor girders and bottom slab. • Attachment to mechanical negative pressure ventilation equipment ensures good ventilation between the bottom slab and floor. • To protect the floor covering against moisture, plastic film is laid above the galvanised steel girders, which in combination with mechanical negative pressure ventilation ensures an environment free from moisture. • Granab subfloor systems are also used in radon decontamination. 20
Order our ventilation pamphlet for more information.
Tiled surfaces Granab systems are installed as subfloor systems for tiled areas in halls and wet rooms in various construction projects. Granab systems – which consist entirely of non-organic materials – are not sensitive to moisture and at the same time, provide effective impact and airborne sound insulation. The girders are installed with c/c spacing of 300 mm.
