C Stud – Steel – Wall Framing

Product Overview

The 50mm Metal C Stud, measuring 2700mm in length, is expertly crafted from galvanised steel. This high-quality material offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term dimensional accuracy. Its precision roll-formed edges ensure a robust framework, securely holding plasterboard and ensuring perfectly straight walls. The slim 50mm cavity is particularly advantageous in domestic or space-restricted environments, allowing for efficient service routing without sacrificing floor space. The 2700mm length is ideal for taller ceilings, facilitating neat partitions with minimal cutting and fewer joints.
