British Gypsum Gypframe 70 S 50 C Stud 2.4m

The British Gypsum Gypframe 70 S 50 'C' Stud is engineered with ULTRASTEEL® technology to deliver superior structural performance, simplified installation, and dependable fastener grip through its extended stud leg design.

Featuring a stud leg that extends 5mm beyond standard alternatives, this profile delivers increased load-bearing capacity and expanded fixing surface for board attachment. The embossed edge profile enhances overall rigidity, reducing twisting and movement during assembly and contributing to more stable wall construction with minimal deflection.

Every stud carries the Gypframe c stud marking for straightforward identification and access to the SpecSure warranty, which covers system durability throughout the building's lifetime.

Available in reduced-carbon variants, these Gypframe profiles are labelled with "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 depth, suited to warehouses, plant rooms, and data centres. Appropriate insulation and damp-proof membranes support consistent performance.
2. GypLyner IWL: Improves fire, thermal, and acoustic performance for masonry substrates, meeting BS 5234 requirements. Correct sealing and moisture management are vital for reliable operation.
3. GypWall CLASSIC: A cost-effective system providing 30-120 minutes of fire resistance and sound insulation whilst safeguarding the metal framework. Pre-set fixings guarantee efficient assembly.
4. GypWall EXTREME: A robust composite system with excellent acoustic properties and lower ongoing costs. Ideal for high-traffic areas and student housing, with control joints suggested to manage structural movement.
5. GypWall QUIET SF: Engineered for separating walls, delivering 60-120 minutes of fire resistance and outstanding acoustic isolation. Thorough air sealing is essential for maximum sound control.
6. GypWall STAGGERED: Appropriate for commercial and residential applications, compliant with BS 5234 and offering up to 90 minutes of fire resistance. Preventing fixture-bridging maintains effective acoustic separation.
