Description
60mm Metal C Stud 3000mm x 60mm
The 3000mm x 60mm Metal C Stud is a fundamental component for constructing robust metal stud wall frameworks, serving as crucial vertical support elements. This product is supplied in cost-effective packs of 10, presenting a highly economical alternative to traditional timber framing. Engineered for efficiency, these studs are easily cut using standard snips and facilitate rapid installation on-site.
In contemporary building practices, metal C stud frames are indispensable for interior wall construction, providing essential vertical structural integrity. Fabricated from galvanised steel, these studs feature a ‘C’ section profile, which delivers outstanding strength and long-term resilience. The design of the ‘C’ section is optimised to allow insulation materials to be friction-fitted securely within the frame. Furthermore, it ensures a flat, stable surface for the straightforward application of plasterboards and the secure fixing of accessories using nails and screws on both sides.
60mm Metal C Stud Key Features
- Exceptional strength and structural stability for durable construction.
- Long-lasting durability, ensuring extended service life.
- High versatility, suitable for a broad spectrum of residential and commercial projects.
- Full compatibility with all standard types of plasterboards.
- Adaptability for use with various insulation materials, enhancing thermal and acoustic performance.
- Inherent fire-resistance and moisture-resistance properties.
- Lightweight nature ensures ease of handling and quick installation.
- Cost-effectiveness, yielding significant long-term savings by minimising maintenance costs.
- Provides a perfectly straight and level surface, ready for final finishing materials.
- Superior resistance to warping, rotting, and rusting, ensuring structural integrity over time.
For optimal fitting of the Metal C Stud 3000mm x 60mm, it is recommended that the corresponding U Stud Metal measures 62mm. This deliberate 2mm thickness difference facilitates a secure and precise push-in connection during assembly.
Applications
The strategic ‘C’ profile grants these studs remarkable load-bearing capacity while offering design flexibility throughout the construction process. They are integral to providing reliable vertical framing support. These vertical profiles are engineered to be fully compatible with a diverse range of insulation and plasterboard materials. The studs can be precisely cut and adjusted on-site to meet specific project dimensions, such as varying wall heights. The galvanised steel frames are designed to consistently withstand the necessary pressure and weight demands imposed by internal wall structures.
Metal C studs are utilised across various building and construction initiatives, encompassing:
Interior Walls
These studs are widely adopted in the construction of non-load-bearing partition walls, forming a resilient framework to which plasterboards are affixed, resulting in a solid and enduring structure.
Fire-Resistance Systems
Due to their non-combustible nature, Metal C Studs do not propagate fire. They are essential components when implementing fire-resistant wall systems, aiding in the effective containment of fire within designated zones.
Soundproofing and Acoustic Walls
When integrated with appropriate acoustic insulation materials, Metal C studs form advanced wall systems that substantially reduce noise transmission between adjacent rooms, improving internal environments.
Framing Systems
The studs serve as core structural elements for creating robust frames in both new-build residential and commercial properties, as well as renovation and extension projects. They can be employed to reinforce existing structures or to establish entirely new wall formations.
