Description
70mm Metal C Stud 4200mm x 70mm
The 4200mm x 70mm Metal C Stud is a crucial component for constructing vertical elements in metal stud wall systems. Sold in economical packs of 10, this product offers a compelling, cost-effective alternative to traditional timber framing. Its design allows for effortless installation and can be easily cut to size using standard snips.
In contemporary construction, metal C stud frames are fundamental, particularly for internal wall structures where they provide essential vertical support. These studs are typically fabricated from galvanised steel, featuring an optimised ‘C’ section profile that delivers exceptional rigidity and longevity. The inherent strength and durability of the C studs ensure a long-lasting framework. The ‘C’ profile facilitates the friction fitting of insulation materials within the frame, and allows for the straightforward application of plasterboard to both faces. Furthermore, it easily accepts various fixings, including nails and screws.
70mm Metal C Stud Key Features

- Resistant to common issues such as warping, rotting, and rusting
When incorporating the Metal C Stud 4200mm x 70mm, it is essential to ensure that the corresponding U Stud Metal measures 62mm. The U Stud must be 2mm thicker than the C Stud to facilitate proper seating during assembly.
Applications
The profile of the C stud is engineered to deliver excellent load-bearing capacity while maintaining design and construction versatility. These studs serve as the primary vertical framing support and are fully compatible with diverse insulation and plasterboard materials. They can be precisely cut and adjusted to meet specific project dimensions, such as wall height. The robust metal frames are designed to reliably handle the necessary pressure and weight loads imposed by wall systems.
Metal C studs are utilised in a variety of construction and building projects, including:
Interior Walls
C studs are widely employed in the creation of partition walls, establishing the framework onto which plasterboard is affixed, resulting in a robust and stable internal structure.
Fire-Resistance Systems
Due to their non-combustible nature, Metal C Studs do not contribute to the propagation of fire. They are integral components of fire-resistant wall assemblies, aiding in the containment of fire within defined zones.
Soundproofing and Acoustic Walls
By pairing Metal C studs with appropriate acoustic insulation materials, specialised wall systems can be constructed that significantly reduce noise transmission between adjacent spaces.
Framing Systems
These studs are utilised for structuring frames in both residential and commercial properties, applicable in new construction, renovations, and extensions. They can be deployed to reinforce existing structures or to establish entirely new wall frameworks.
