British Gypsum Gypframe 146 S 50 C Stud 3.6m

The British Gypsum Gypframe 146 S 50 'C' Stud incorporates ULTRASTEEL® technology for superior stability and straightforward installation. The extended stud leg length—5mm longer than standard alternatives—delivers increased strength and expanded fixing surface for plasterboard attachment.

Embossed edging enhances structural rigidity, reducing twisting and movement during assembly and contributing to more stable wall construction with minimal deflection.

Each stud carries the Gypframe c stud identification mark, enabling access to the SpecSure warranty, which covers system performance throughout the building's lifespan.

Lower carbon variants are now available, marked with "Carbon Low" to distinguish them from conventional profiles.
