C Stud – Galvanized Steel – Indoor Partitioning

Product Overview

The 146mm Metal C Stud, crafted from galvanized steel, measures an extensive 3000mm in length. This product ensures exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for robust partition systems. Its precision roll-formed edges offer a rigid framework that holds plasterboard securely, ensuring straight and true walls.

The extra-wide 146mm cavity is purpose-built for high-performance partition systems, providing ample space for enhanced acoustic insulation, complex fire-rated assemblies, and extensive service runs. Designed specifically for demanding commercial and institutional environments, this stud delivers the strength, stability, and system performance necessary for large-scale, technically challenging projects. The 3000mm length reduces the need for horizontal joints in taller partitions, promoting a cleaner, more stable structure with fewer weak points.

Features & Benefits

• Galvanized Protection: Zinc coating offers superior corrosion resistance during storage, installation, and throughout its service life.
• Precision Roll-formed Edges: Ensures consistent alignment and rigidity, supporting accurate wall construction.
• Enhanced Structural Stability: The wider profile supports multiple plasterboard layers for improved acoustic and fire performance.
• 146mm Cavity Depth: Creates a substantial void for maximum insulation capacity and large-scale service integration.
• 3000mm Length: Facilitates the construction of higher partitions with fewer interruptions.

Applications

• High-spec Acoustic Partitions: The wide cavity accommodates thick insulation for optimal sound reduction.
• Fire-resistant Walls: Provides the necessary depth and stability for multi-layer plasterboard systems achieving enhanced fire ratings.
• Commercial and Institutional Partitions: Suitable for demanding environments such as hospitals, schools, and offices.
• Heavy Service Walls: The large cavity supports extensive cabling, ducts, or pipework.

Installation Guidance

• Stud Positioning: Fix vertically within floor and ceiling tracks at specified centers, ensuring stable alignment for taller partitions.
• Board Fixing: Secure plasterboard with drywall screws, in single or multiple layers as required.
• Cutting: Trim studs cleanly to length using aviation snips or tin snips.
• Service Installation: Install electrical or plumbing services within the cavity before boarding.

Compliance & Performance

• Material Standard: Manufactured from cold-rolled galvanized steel to EN 14195.
• Fire and Acoustic Potential: Performance is determined by partition design and board configuration.
