Gyproc Gypframe C-Stud 100S50C 3000mm Lightweight Steel Stud for Drywall Partitions

100 S refers to straight steel studs used for vertical framing, while 50 C refers to channel-type studs that offer different load-bearing and mounting characteristics. Together, they create a robust framework suitable for larger or heavier walls.

Key specs include: length of 3000 mm, galvanised steel construction, zinc alloy coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, pre-inserted fixing blocks for easy mounting, compatibility with gypsum boards and insulation, and a fire-safe design suitable for interior and exterior wall applications.

Ideal for refurbishment projects, new exterior walls, part panel walls, and both interior and exterior wall constructions. Its high strength-to-weight ratio supports long spans and heavier wall assemblies.

Typical installation steps: plan layout and mark studs, cut to length as needed, place studs on supporting runners or tracks, fix using appropriate screws through pre-inserted blocks, ensure studs are plumb and level, then attach gypsum boards or insulation as required. Follow standard safety practices and local building codes.

You’ll typically need metal cutting tools (recipro saw or torpedo saw), a drill/driver, metal screws (compatible with gypsum boards), a level, measuring tape, a chalk line, shears for trimming, and gypsum boards or insulation compatible with Gyproc frames.

Yes. It uses galvanised steel with a zinc alloy coating for corrosion resistance and has structural and fire safety considerations suitable for typical wall constructions. Always verify with local building codes and ensure proper installation practices to maintain performance.

For alternative framing options on Fepy, you can consider: 1) Gyproc Gypframe 2500mm 100S: https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-gypframe-2500mm-100s 2) Gyproc Gypframe 2500mm 50C: https://fepy.com/product/gyproc-gypframe-2500mm-50c These options offer different lengths and stud types to suit specific wall thicknesses and load requirements, allowing you to tailor the frame to your project.

Use cases include upgrading or refurbishing interior partitions, constructing exterior or interior walls in new builds, and creating strong supporting frames for larger gypsum board assemblies or insulated walls.

Plan the layout, measure accurately, and cut to exact lengths before installation. Use a level and chalk line to align studs vertically. Ensure posts are evenly spaced as per design and that fixing blocks are seated properly to avoid gaps or misalignment.

The 3000mm 100S/50C combination offers a versatile longer-length frame with two stud types for varied walls, potentially reducing assembly time and providing strong, durable walls. When evaluating value, consider wall height, load requirements, and compatibility with boards and insulation. Comparing with shorter lengths or different stud types on Fepy (such as 2500mm variants) can help you optimize cost and performance per project.

After installation, check all fixing points for tightness, verify plumb and level across the frame, and ensure fixing blocks are properly seated. When finishing, attach gypsum boards securely and inspect seams and joints as part of standard wall finishing and curing processes.
