British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 'C' Stud 3.6 m

British Gypsum Gypframe 48 S 50 3.6 m 'C' studs are especially designed for smooth board alignment and increased strength. Their spaced structural apertures make the services routing much easier and their diversity makes them applicable to different height, strength, acoustic insulation and resistance requirements. The studs are used for wall framing vertical support in various systems, including:

• Cavity fire barriers which are in accordance with the applicable regulation, Approved Document B Metal or timber frame, can be pre-formed or built in-situ and can withstand up to 60 minutes of fire integrity. When installed, special care must be given to the distance between the barriers, but also the closure of the cavities at every junction and cavity within the element, whereas the barriers must maintain their effectiveness during the life span of the structure. Also, fire resistance should be maintained throughout the entire structure which is provided by fitting the barriers tightly to the construction or by using adequate fire-stopping materials;
• GypLyner IWL, providing fire protection and fire resistance, used for upgrading both thermal and sound performance of masonry walls, designed to correspond to BS 5234 standards. The system can increase the sound and thermal insulation of both new or existing walls, only if the elements are well fitted to the background, junctions properly sealed and water penetration and damp issues taken care of by applying recommended measures;
• GypWall CLASSIC is a lightweight system which provides a 30-120 minutes of fire resistance, has substantial sound insulation performance, also protecting the metal framework from warping, rotting and twisting. The system can be have a number of different applications only if the position of the fixings and the installation are pre-planed and determined;
