Saint-Gobain Gyproc Gypframe Stud, 0.5 x 3000mm, Lightweight Steel Stud for Partition Framing

It's a steel stud used to create the structural timbering inside walls for drylining. It provides a straight, plumb framework to attach plasterboard and form partition walls or non-load-bearing walls.

Dimensions: 0.5 x 3000 mm. Material: galvanised steel with a zincalume coating for corrosion protection. Fire-tested for use in fire-rated wall assemblies. Recyclable and designed for accurate, fast installation with maintenance-free performance.

GL1 denotes the specific galvanised steel grade/coating used for these studs (zincalume-protected). It indicates a corrosion-resistant surface suitable for interior wall framing.

The zincalume coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared with plain steel, helping the studs resist rust in interior environments and extending the life of the wall frame.

Yes, these Gypframe studs are fire-tested and designed to be used as part of fire-rated wall assemblies where required by building codes.

Plan the wall layout and spacing, install top and bottom tracks, insert studs at the required centers, align them vertically with a level, secure with suitable screws, cut to length as needed, then attach plasterboard to complete the frame. Use temporary bracing if needed to keep everything plumb during installation.

You’ll usually pair these studs with top and bottom tracks, additional bracing as required, plasterboard (Gyproc), self-drilling screws, corner beads, and jointing materials to finish the wall surface.

Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, handle edges carefully to avoid cuts, use proper metal snips or a deburring tool for cuts, and store sheets flat to prevent bending. Secure the studs during cutting and installation to avoid injury.

Yes. The studs are recyclable steel, and the zincalume coating helps protect longevity, contributing to sustainable framing practices when disposed of or repurposed properly.

GL1 is a standard galvanised option suitable for general interior wall framing. Higher-numbered variants (for example GL2/GL3) typically refer to different thicknesses or coating specifics and may offer different structural or fire-performance characteristics. Choose based on required strength, fire rating, and local building regulations.

They’re ideal for interior partition walls, drylined partitions in offices or homes, hotel corridors, and any dry interior framing scenario where a plumb, sturdy wall frame is required to support plasterboard.

Yes. Mark wall lines clearly, use a level and plumb line for vertical accuracy, pre-cut studs to length, dry-fit sections before final fixing, fix tracks securely first, and work in sections to maintain alignment. Using temporary bracing can keep frames plumb while you install adjacent sections.
