Description
70mm Metal C Stud 3000mm x 70mm
The 3000mm x 70mm Metal C Stud is a foundational element for constructing internal metal stud walls, serving as the essential vertical support. Available in cost-effective packs of 10, these studs present a superior and more economical alternative to traditional timber framing. Designed for ease of use, the material is simple to cut with standard snips, facilitating rapid installation and project completion.
In contemporary building practices, galvanised steel C studs are vital for interior wall systems, providing robust and lasting vertical support. Their ‘C’ section profile guarantees exceptional structural integrity and durability. This design is specifically engineered to allow insulation materials to be friction-fitted securely within the frame. Furthermore, the profile readily accommodates the application of plasterboard to both sides, simplifying the process of securing the boards with screws and nails.
70mm Metal C Stud Key Features
- Delivers superior strength and structural stability for partition walls.
- Constructed for long-term endurance and maximum durability.
- Highly versatile, suitable for a broad spectrum of residential and commercial applications.
- Fully compatible with all standard types of plasterboards.
- Accommodates a wide variety of insulation materials.
- Offers enhanced fire-resistance and moisture-resistance properties.
- Lightweight nature ensures ease of handling and quick installation.
- Represents a cost-effective solution, reducing maintenance expenditure over time.

- Innate resistance to warping, rotting, and rusting ensures frame integrity.
For optimal performance and fit with the 3000mm x 70mm Metal C Stud, it is recommended that the corresponding U Stud Metal be 62mm, maintaining the crucial 2mm difference to ensure a tight, secure fit.
Applications
The ‘C’ shape configuration of the stud provides excellent load-bearing capabilities, offering design flexibility and versatility across various construction types. These profiles are instrumental in providing reliable vertical framing support and are fully compatible with diverse plasterboard and insulation systems. The studs can be precisely cut and adjusted to meet the specific requirements of any project, such as varying wall heights, and are manufactured to withstand significant pressure and wall load.
Metal C studs are utilised in numerous construction and building projects, including:
Interior walls
Serving as the primary framework for partition walls, C studs ensure a durable and solid structure onto which plasterboard is securely fastened.
Fire-resistance
As non-combustible materials, Metal C Studs do not contribute to fire spread and are integral when forming fire-rated wall systems designed for compartmentalisation.
Soundproofing and acoustic walls
When combined with appropriate acoustic insulation materials, metal C studs form effective systems that significantly mitigate noise transmission between adjacent rooms.
Framing Systems
These studs are employed to create robust framing systems in new builds, renovations, and extensions for both residential and commercial properties, serving to reinforce existing structures or establish new load-bearing walls.
