70mm Metal C Stud 2.4mtr - 10 per pack

70mm metal stud framing is a popular choice for building walls in both homes and commercial buildings. These lightweight metal supports are ideal for creating non-load-bearing interior walls up to 4.9 metres tall. They form the vertical element which are part of a complete system that includes tracks which are installed at the head and base of the studs.

When comparing against traditional wooden studs, 70mm metal C studs offer a number of advantages

Here are some benefits of 70mm metal C studs:

Strength and stability:

Metal is much stronger and more dimensionally stable than wood. This means that metal stud walls are less likely to crack, warp, or bow over time.

Moisture and fire resistance:

Metal studs are not susceptible to mold or rot, and they won't burn. This makes them a good choice for areas that may be exposed to moisture or fire.

Easy installation:

Metal studs are lightweight and easy to cut and work with. This makes them a faster and easier option to install than traditional wood framing.

Sustainability:

Metal studs can be reused multiple times, reducing construction waste.

If you are looking for a strong, lightweight, and versatile material for your next construction project, then 2400 x 70mm metal C studs are a good option to consider.

Installation Tips for Strong and Secure Metal C Stud Walls:

Here are some key things to remember for a successful installation of your 70mm x 2400mm metal C stud walls:

Plasterboard Compatibility:

Make sure the plasterboard you use is the right thickness for your C studs. A minimum of 12.5mm thickness is recommended for 70mm C studs.

U Track Support:

For optimal stability, the C studs need to be supported by 72mm U tracks at the top and bottom of the wall. These U tracks act like a frame for your C studs.

Even Spacing:

Maintain consistent spacing between the C studs throughout the wall. This ensures even support for the plasterboard and a strong overall structure.

Secure Fastening:

Screw the C studs securely to the U tracks. This creates a solid connection between the frame and the vertical supports.

By following these installation tips, you can guarantee that your metal C stud walls are strong, durable, and safe.
