British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 C Stud 2.4m

The British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 'C' Stud incorporates ULTRASTEEL® technology to deliver superior stability, simplified handling, and improved screw retention through its extended stud leg design.

Featuring a stud leg that extends 5mm beyond comparable alternatives, this product delivers greater load-bearing capacity and expanded surface area for secure board attachment. The embossed edge design enhances structural rigidity, reducing twisting and lateral movement during assembly while enabling walls with minimal deflection.

Each stud carries the Gypframe c stud marking for straightforward recognition, enabling access to the SpecSure warranty scheme, which provides system performance guarantees 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 reduced wall depth, suited to warehouses, plant rooms, and data storage facilities. Appropriate insulation and damp-proof membranes support sustained performance.
2. GypLyner IWL: Improves fire, thermal, and acoustic insulation for masonry substrates, meeting BS 5234 requirements. Effective sealing and moisture management are vital for reliable operation.
3. GypWall CLASSIC: A lightweight solution providing 30-120 minutes of fire resistance and sound insulation whilst protecting the metal framework. Predetermined fixing points ensure reliable installation.
4. GypWall EXTREME: A robust hybrid solution delivering strong acoustic insulation and lower maintenance demands. Appropriate for high-traffic corridors and student housing, with control joints recommended for structural movement management.
5. GypWall QUIET SF: Engineered for separating walls, delivering 60-120 minutes of fire resistance and excellent acoustic performance. Thorough air sealing is essential for maximum sound control.
6. GypWall STAGGERED: Applicable to commercial and residential projects, compliant with BS 5234 standards with up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. Preventing fixture-induced thermal bridges maintains effective acoustic insulation.

Disposal

Waste from Gypframe metal framing system components is entirely recyclable. The European Waste Catalogue designation is 12 01 01.
