British Gypsum Gypframe 146 S 50 C Stud 4.2m

The British Gypsum Gypframe 146 S 50 'C' Stud incorporates ULTRASTEEL® technology to deliver superior structural performance, streamlined installation, and improved fastener grip through its extended leg design.

Featuring a stud leg that extends 5mm beyond standard alternatives, this profile delivers increased load capacity and expanded fixing surface for plasterboard attachment. The embossed profile design enhances overall rigidity, preventing twisting and lateral movement during assembly and creating more stable wall structures with reduced sag.

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

Available in lower carbon variants, these Gypframe profiles are labelled "Carbon Low" to distinguish them from conventional options.

Summary of GypWall & FireWall Systems

1. FireWall: Delivers up to 240 minutes of fire resistance with compact wall construction, suited to warehouses, plant rooms, and data centres. Appropriate insulation and damp-proof membranes support system integrity.
2. GypLyner IWL: Improves fire, thermal, and acoustic performance for masonry substrates, meeting BS 5234 requirements. Correct sealing and moisture management are vital for sustained performance.
3. GypWall CLASSIC: A lightweight solution providing 30-120 minutes of fire resistance and acoustic insulation while safeguarding the metal framework. Pre-set fixings facilitate reliable installation.
4. GypWall EXTREME: A robust composite system delivering strong acoustic performance and lower upkeep requirements. Suited to high-traffic areas and student housing, with movement joints recommended for structural accommodation.
5. GypWall QUIET SF: Engineered for separating walls, delivering 60-120 minutes of fire resistance and exceptional acoustic insulation. Thorough air sealing maximises acoustic performance.
6. GypWall STAGGERED: Appropriate for commercial and residential applications, compliant with BS 5234 standards and offering up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. Preventing penetration-induced acoustic bridges maintains sound insulation effectiveness.
