Description
146mm Metal C Stud 3000mm x 146mm
The 3000mm x 146mm Metal C Stud is a fundamental component for constructing metal stud walls, specifically designed for vertical support applications. Supplied in cost-effective packs of 10, this product offers a superior, budget-friendly alternative to traditional timber framing. Installation is streamlined and efficient, with the material easily cut using standard snips.
Metal C stud frames are critical elements in contemporary construction, particularly for non-load-bearing interior partition walls where they provide robust vertical support. Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, these studs feature an exceptional ‘C’ section profile that ensures outstanding strength, stability, and long-term durability. The geometry of the C stud framing system is ideal for friction-fitting insulation materials and facilitates the straightforward application of plasterboards to both sides. It is also fully compatible with various fixing methods, including nails and screws, for attaching finishes and fixtures.
146mm Metal C Stud Key Features
- Exceptional strength and structural stability for reliable construction.
- Long-lasting durability, ensuring extended service life.
- High versatility, making it suitable for a broad range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
- Full compatibility with all standard types of plasterboards.
- Adaptable for use with a comprehensive variety of acoustic and thermal insulation materials.
- Enhanced fire and moisture resistance properties for improved safety and material longevity.
- Lightweight nature ensures ease of handling and rapid installation on-site.
- A highly cost-effective solution that provides significant long-term savings by minimizing future maintenance requirements.
- Delivers a perfectly straight and level surface, ready for the immediate application of finishing materials.
- Inherent resistance to warping, rotting, and rusting, maintaining structural integrity over time.
For optimal installation, ensure the corresponding U Stud Metal is 2mm thicker than the C Stud (e.g., a 62mm U Stud) to facilitate the secure push-in fit of the vertical profile.
Applications
The distinctive ‘C’ profile imparts excellent load-bearing capacity and affords considerable design flexibility across diverse construction projects. These vertical profiles are essential for framing and are fully compatible with an array of insulation and plasterboard systems. The studs are easily adjusted and cut to meet precise project requirements, such as specific wall heights, and are engineered to reliably withstand the typical pressures and weights associated with wall structures.
Metal C studs are utilised across numerous building and construction projects, including:
Interior walls
They are widely used in the construction of interior partition walls, creating the essential framework to which plasterboards are affixed, resulting in a solid and enduring structure.
Fire-resistance
Metal C studs are non-combustible and do not contribute to the propagation of fire. They are integral to fire-resistant wall systems, aiding in the containment of fire within defined areas.
Soundproofing and acoustic walls
When used in conjunction with appropriate acoustic insulation materials, metal C studs form systems that effectively mitigate noise transmissions between adjacent rooms, contributing to quieter environments.
Framing Systems
These robust studs are used to establish structural frames in both residential and commercial properties, supporting new builds, renovations, and extensions. They can be employed either to reinforce existing constructions or to define and build new wall structures.
