I need to encase a steel beam in my loft. The plans state that it must be:
"Encased with 2 layers of 9.5mm plasterboard fixed with 1.6mm wire binding at 100mm pitch and set with 7mm plaster beams to rest on concreted padstone at each end."
The beam was professionally installed but I'm doing the plasterboard myself before getting it skimmed.
Can someone tell me what the 1.6mm wire binding is?
