The British Gypsum Gypframe 70 S 50 'C' Stud, manufactured with ULTRASTEELĀ® technology, offers enhanced stability, easier handling, and improved screw retention due to its extended stud leg length.
With a stud leg 5mm longer than comparable products, it provides greater strength and a larger surface area for board fixing. Its embossed edging increases rigidity, minimizing twisting and movement during installation while contributing to stronger walls with reduced deflection.
Additionally, each stud is marked with the Gypframe c stud logo for easy identification, allowing you to take advantage of the SpecSure warranty, which guarantees system performance for the lifetime of the building.
Now available in lower carbon versions, these Gypframe profiles are printed with "Carbon Low" to differentiate them from standard profiles.
