British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 C Stud 3.6m

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

Featuring a stud leg that extends 5mm beyond comparable alternatives, this profile delivers greater load-bearing capacity and expanded surface area for secure board attachment. The embossed edge design enhances structural rigidity, preventing twisting and lateral movement during assembly and resulting in more stable walls with reduced deflection.

Each stud carries the Gypframe c stud marking for straightforward identification and access to the SpecSure warranty, which covers system durability 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 storage facilities. 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 whilst safeguarding the metal framework. Pre-positioned fixings facilitate reliable installation.
4. GypWall EXTREME: A robust composite system combining strong acoustic performance with lower upkeep requirements. Suited to high-traffic areas and student housing, with control joints recommended for managing structural loads.
5. GypWall QUIET SF: Engineered for separating walls, delivering 60-120 minutes of fire resistance and exceptional acoustic insulation. Thorough air sealing maximises sound control effectiveness.
6. GypWall STAGGERED: Appropriate for commercial and residential applications, complying with BS 5234 standards with up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. Eliminating fixture-induced thermal bridges preserves acoustic effectiveness.
