Description
60mm Metal C Stud 3600mm x 60mm
The 3600mm x 60mm Metal C Stud is an essential component for vertical framing within drylining systems and metal stud walls. Supplied in cost-effective packs of 10, this product presents a more economical alternative to traditional timber framing. It is designed for ease of use, featuring a profile that can be quickly and accurately cut with snips, facilitating rapid and straightforward installation on-site.
In contemporary construction practices, metal C stud frames are a foundational element for interior wall construction, serving as critical vertical support structures. These studs are typically fabricated from galvanised steel, providing superior strength, exceptional durability, and a distinctive ‘C’ section profile. The robust nature of the C studs ensures a long service life. The ‘C’ profile design is specifically engineered to allow insulation materials to be friction-fitted securely within the frame. Furthermore, it enables the easy attachment of plasterboards to both sides, and accommodates various fixtures and fittings, including screws and nails, for comprehensive wall system integration.
60mm Metal C Stud Key Features
- Delivers superior strength and structural stability for partition walls.
- Guarantees long-lasting performance and exceptional durability.
- Offers high versatility, suitable for a broad spectrum of residential and commercial projects.
- Fully compatible with all standard types of plasterboards.
- Accommodates a wide variety of insulation materials.
- Exhibits excellent fire and moisture-resistance properties.
- Lightweight design facilitates easy handling and swift installation.
- Provides a cost-effective framing solution that reduces long-term maintenance expenses.
- Ensures a perfectly straight and level surface, ready for the application of finishing materials.
- Highly resistant to common issues such as warping, rotting, and rusting, ensuring structural integrity over time.
For optimal installation of the 3600mm x 60mm Metal C Stud, it is critical to ensure that the corresponding U Stud Metal measures 62mm. This 2mm difference in thickness is necessary to achieve a secure and tight friction fit during assembly.
Applications
The engineered ‘C’ profile of the stud provides outstanding load-bearing capabilities while offering substantial versatility in design and construction. These studs provide essential vertical support for framing systems. They are compatible with a broad range of insulation and all types of plasterboard materials. The profiles can be easily cut and adjusted on-site to meet specific project requirements, such as precise wall heights. These metal frames are designed to reliably withstand the pressure and weight demands of partition walls and other structures.
Metal C studs are utilised across diverse building and construction applications, including:
Interior Walls
C studs are widely employed in the creation of internal partition walls, establishing a robust framework onto which plasterboards are secured, resulting in a solid and enduring wall structure.
Fire Resistance Systems
Metal C Studs are inherently non-combustible and do not contribute to the propagation of fire. They are an integral component when used in conjunction with certified fire-resistant wall systems to effectively compartmentalise and contain fire within designated zones.
Soundproofing and Acoustic Walls
By incorporating Metal C studs into specialised systems alongside acoustic insulation materials, they effectively mitigate noise transmission, significantly enhancing the soundproofing between adjacent rooms.
Framing Systems
These studs are utilised to establish primary framing structures in both residential and commercial properties, supporting new builds, renovations, and extensions. They can be applied both to reinforce existing structural elements and to construct entirely new wall assemblies.
