The British Gypsum Gypframe 146 S 50 'C' Stud utilises ULTRASTEEL® technology to deliver superior stability, simplified handling, and improved screw retention through its extended stud leg length.
Featuring a stud leg 5mm longer than comparable alternatives, this product delivers greater structural performance and expanded surface area for board attachment. The embossed edging design enhances rigidity, reducing twisting and movement throughout the installation process whilst supporting stronger walls with minimal deflection.
Each stud carries the Gypframe c stud marking for straightforward identification, enabling you to benefit from the SpecSure warranty, which covers system performance throughout the building's lifespan.
Available in lower carbon variants, these Gypframe profiles are labelled with "Carbon Low" to distinguish them from conventional profiles.
