C Stud – Galvanized Steel – Indoor & Outdoor Framing

Product Overview

The 50mm Metal C Stud, measuring 2400mm in length, is crafted from galvanized steel to ensure strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term dimensional accuracy. Its precision roll-formed edges provide a rigid framework that securely holds plasterboard, ensuring walls are straight and true. This stud's slim 50mm cavity is particularly effective in domestic or space-restricted areas, allowing for service routing without compromising floor space. The 2400mm length is ideal for standard ceiling heights, minimizing waste and reducing the need for on-site cutting.

Features & Benefits

• Galvanized Protection: Zinc coating offers robust corrosion resistance during storage, installation, and throughout the service life.
• Precision Roll-Formed Edges: Ensures consistent alignment and rigidity for accurate wall construction.
• Lightweight Handling: The slim profile facilitates easy lifting, cutting, and positioning without the need for specialized equipment.
• 50mm Cavity Depth: Provides a compact void suitable for light cabling or pipework.
• 2400mm Length: Aligns with typical ceiling heights, requiring minimal trimming.

Applications
