Gyproc Gypframe Deep Channel 52DC50 3000mm Rigid Track for Stud & Ceiling

Length: 3000 mm; width: 52 mm; maximum load capacity: 50 kg; material: steel. The profile features a wider edge for strong masonry contact and a narrower bottom for a neat finish.

The wider edge improves metal to masonry contact, increasing fixing strength and stability, while the narrower bottom minimizes bulk for a clean appearance and easier installation in tight spaces.

Choose the deep channel when fixing to masonry surfaces or when you need higher load capacity and more robust fixing for partitions, ceilings or taller walls. It provides added durability compared with some standard tracks.

Installation steps: plan the layout, cut the channel to length if needed, position it along the wall, and fix it to the masonry using appropriate screws or anchors. Ensure the channel is straight and level, then attach any gypsum boards or studs as required to complete the build.

Use masonry screws or anchors rated for the expected load, preferably corrosion-resistant types. Follow Gyproc installation guidelines for spacing and fixings to ensure a secure connection.

The channel is rated for a maximum load of up to 50 kg. For heavier panels or joints, distribute the load across multiple channels and fixings to avoid concentrating stress in a single point.

Yes. Wear appropriate PPE when handling metal profiles, use proper cutting tools and deburring, store components flat and dry, and ensure fixings are secure and aligned with local drylining/building guidelines.
