British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 C Stud 2.7m

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

Featuring a stud leg that extends 5mm beyond standard alternatives, this product delivers increased structural capacity and expanded fixing surface for plasterboard attachment. The embossed edge profile enhances stiffness, preventing twist and movement during assembly whilst supporting stronger wall construction with reduced sag.

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

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