British Gypsum Gypframe 70 S 50 C Stud 2.7m

The British Gypsum Gypframe 70 S 50 C Stud incorporates ULTRASTEEL® technology to deliver superior stability, straightforward handling, and reliable screw retention through its extended stud leg design.

Featuring a stud leg that extends 5mm beyond comparable alternatives, this profile delivers increased structural capacity and expanded fixing surface for board attachment. The embossed edge design enhances overall rigidity, preventing twisting and movement during assembly whilst enabling stronger wall construction with minimal deflection.

Each stud carries the Gypframe c stud marking for straightforward recognition, enabling access to the SpecSure warranty scheme, which covers system performance throughout the building's lifespan.

Available in carbon-reduced variants, these Gypframe profiles are marked with "Carbon Low" to distinguish them from conventional options.
