British Gypsum Gypframe 70 S 50 C Stud 3.6m

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

Featuring a stud leg 5mm longer than standard alternatives, it delivers greater load-bearing capacity and expanded surface area for secure board attachment. The embossed edge profile enhances structural rigidity, reducing twisting and movement during assembly whilst creating more robust walls with minimal deflection.

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

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