Description
70mm Metal C Stud 2400mm x 70mm
The 2400mm x 70mm Metal C Stud is an indispensable component for constructing metal stud walls, serving as the primary vertical support. This product is offered in cost-effective packs of 10, presenting a compelling alternative to traditional timber framing. Installation is remarkably straightforward, with the studs being lightweight and easily cut with standard snips, facilitating rapid project completion.
Metal C stud frames are a foundational element in contemporary construction, particularly for interior non-load bearing wall applications where they provide essential vertical stability. Fabricated from high-quality galvanised steel, these studs feature a robust ‘C’ section profile, delivering exceptional durability and structural integrity. The design inherently accommodates friction-fitted insulation within the frame and allows for simple attachment of plasterboards to both faces, ensuring a smooth surface ready for finishing materials. Furthermore, the ‘C’ profile simplifies the secure installation of various fixtures and fittings using nails and screws.
70mm Metal C Stud Key Features
- Superior strength and reliable structural stability
- Exceptional long-lasting durability and resilience
- High versatility, suitable for a broad spectrum of residential and commercial projects
- Full compatibility with all standard types of plasterboards and sheeting materials
- Adaptability for use with diverse insulation materials and systems
- Enhanced fire-resistance and inherent moisture-resistance properties
- Lightweight nature ensures ease of handling and quick installation processes
- Cost-effective solution, providing long-term value through minimised maintenance requirements
- Creates a precisely straight and level substrate for efficient application of finishing materials
- Inherent resistance to common issues such as warping, rotting, and rusting, ensuring extended service life
For optimal installation of the 2400mm x 70mm Metal C Stud, it is critical to pair it with a U Stud Metal that is 62mm. The 2mm difference in thickness ensures a tight, secure fit within the U track.
Applications
The engineered shape of the C stud offers significant load-bearing capabilities and design flexibility. These vertical framing profiles provide robust support and are compatible with a comprehensive range of plasterboard and insulation materials. Their adaptability allows for easy cutting and adjustment to meet specific project dimensions, such as varying wall heights. The metal frames are specifically designed to withstand the operational pressure and weight demands of partition walls and interior structures.
Metal C studs are utilised across numerous building and construction environments, including:
Interior Partition Walls
They are the standard framework for partition walls, creating a solid and durable structure to which plasterboards are secured, defining internal spaces effectively.
Enhanced Fire Safety Systems
As non-combustible materials, Metal C Studs do not fuel the spread of fire and are integral to creating fire-resistant wall systems, significantly aiding in compartmentation and fire containment.
Acoustic and Soundproofing Solutions
When integrated with acoustic insulation materials, metal C studs form systems that effectively reduce noise transmission between adjacent rooms, contributing to quieter interior environments.
Structural Framing Systems
These studs are essential for establishing internal frames in new builds, large-scale renovations, and extensions in both residential and commercial sectors. They are applied to reinforce existing constructions or to construct entirely new wall assemblies.
