The British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 'C' Stud features ULTRASTEELĀ® technology for superior stability and easier handling, with improved screw retention thanks to its extended stud leg length.
Featuring a stud leg 5mm longer than comparable alternatives, this product delivers greater structural strength and expanded surface area for secure board attachment. The embossed edging boosts rigidity, reducing twisting and movement during fitting while supporting stronger wall construction with minimal deflection.
Each stud carries the Gypframe c stud marking for straightforward identification, enabling access to the SpecSure warranty, 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.
