C Stud – Metal – Internal Partitions

Product Overview

The 70mm Metal I Stud is designed for internal partition systems, providing acoustic, fire-rated, and medium-performance wall solutions. With wider flanges and integrated service slots, it ensures extra rigidity and simplifies the routing of services, distinguishing it from standard C Studs. Ideal for offices, classrooms, and similar applications, this stud offers a consistent fixing edge for plasterboard linings in non-loadbearing partitions.

Features & Benefits

• Rigidity under load: The I-profile provides higher in-plane rigidity than 70mm C studs, leading to flatter finishes and reduced deflection.
• Increased cavity depth: The 70mm cavity accommodates thicker insulation and larger services.
• Accurate finishing: Straight roll-formed edges ensure true board alignment and smooth jointing.
• System compatibility: Aligns with standard 70mm tracks, head deflection details, and common board fixing patterns.
• Durable material: Manufactured from galvanised steel for strength and corrosion resistance.
• 4200mm length: Suitable for maintaining alignment and rigidity across extended wall heights.

Applications

• General internal partitions: Reliable framing for non-loadbearing walls in various spaces.
• System-tested corridor partitions: Usable in corridor walls as part of tested and certified wall systems.
• Services integration: Provides cavity depth for routing pipework, conduits, and cable bundles.
• Acoustic improvements: Enhances sound reduction when combined with insulation and appropriate board layers.

Installation Guidance

• Set-out: Fix compatible 70mm head and base tracks to ensure proper alignment.
