Description
50mm Metal C Stud 2700mm x 50mm
The 2700mm x 50mm Metal C Stud is an essential component for the vertical framing of metal stud walls in modern construction. Supplied in cost-effective packs of 10, these studs offer a superior alternative to traditional timber framing due to their competitive price point and ease of installation. They can be readily cut with snips, ensuring a quick and efficient setup process.
Utilised extensively in interior wall applications, these vertical support elements are typically manufactured from robust galvanised steel, providing exceptional durability and structural integrity. The distinctive ‘C’ section profile contributes to the inherent strength and longevity of the framing system. This shape is specifically designed to facilitate the friction fitting of insulation materials within the frame, and allows for the straightforward application of plasterboards to both faces. Furthermore, the design is fully compatible with various fixtures and fittings, including standard nails and screws.
50mm Metal C Stud Key Features
- Exceptional strength and structural stability for reliable wall construction.
- Highly durable and long-lasting, minimising the need for future maintenance.
- Versatile design suitable for a broad spectrum of residential and commercial projects.
- Guaranteed compatibility with all common types of plasterboards.
- Can be used effectively with a wide variety of insulation materials.
- Inherent fire and moisture resistance, enhancing building safety and performance.
- Lightweight nature ensures ease of handling and rapid installation.
- Offers significant long-term savings by reducing maintenance and labour expenses.
- Provides a perfectly straight and level surface, ready for the application of finishing materials.
- Resistant to warping, rotting, and rusting, ensuring dimensional stability over time.
For optimal performance when installing the Metal C Stud 2700mm x 50mm, it is recommended to pair it with a U Stud Metal that measures 62mm. The U Stud must always be 2mm thicker than the C Stud to ensure a secure and facilitated push-in fitment.
Applications
The unique ‘C’ profile of the stud delivers superior load-bearing capabilities and offers considerable flexibility in design and construction. These studs function as the primary vertical framing support and are fully compatible with diverse insulation and plasterboard materials. They are easily adjustable and cut to meet specific project requirements, such as precise wall heights. The metal frames are engineered to reliably withstand the necessary pressure and weight loads imposed by the wall system.
Metal C studs are appropriate for use in numerous building and construction environments, including:
Interior Walls
Serving as the fundamental framework for partition walls, C studs allow plasterboards to be securely attached, culminating in a solid, resilient structure suitable for dividing spaces.
Fire Safety Systems
Metal C Studs are non-combustible and, when integrated with fire-resistant wall systems, aid in preventing the propagation of fire, thereby contributing to compartmentalization and fire containment within defined areas.
Acoustic and Soundproofing Walls
These studs can form part of specialised systems, working in conjunction with acoustic insulation to substantially mitigate noise transmission between adjacent rooms, improving internal acoustic quality.
Framing Systems
They are integral to structuring the framework in both new construction, as well as in extensive renovation or extension projects, across residential and commercial sectors. C studs can be employed either to reinforce existing structural elements or to establish entirely new wall formations.
