Product Overview
146mm Metal C Stud in a 3000mm length, manufactured from galvanised steel, providing strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term dimensional accuracy.
Precision roll-formed edges create a rigid framework that holds plasterboard securely in place and ensures walls are straight and true.
The 146mm stud offers an extra-wide cavity purpose-built for high-performance partition systems. Its depth provides ample space for enhanced acoustic insulation, complex fire-rated assemblies, and extensive service runs.
Designed for demanding commercial and institutional environments, it delivers the strength, stability, and system performance required for large-scale, technically challenging projects.
The 3000mm length reduces the need for horizontal joints in taller partitions, creating a cleaner, more stable structure with fewer weak points.
Features & Benefits
- Galvanised protection: Zinc coating shields against corrosion during storage, installation, and service life.
- Precision roll-formed edges: Consistent alignment and rigidity support accurate wall construction.
- Enhanced structural stability: Wider profile supports multiple plasterboard layers for acoustic and fire performance.
- 146mm cavity depth: Creates a substantial void for maximum insulation capacity and large-scale service integration.
- 3000mm length: Allows higher partitions to be built with fewer interruptions.
Applications
- High-spec acoustic partitions: Wide cavity accommodates thick insulation for maximum sound reduction.
- Fire-resistant walls: Provides depth and stability for multi-layer plasterboard systems achieving enhanced fire ratings.
- Commercial and institutional partitions: Suitable for demanding environments such as hospitals, schools, and offices.
- Heavy service walls: Large cavity supports extensive cabling, ducts, or pipework.
Installation Guidance
- Stud positioning: Fix vertically within floor and ceiling tracks at specified centres, ensuring stable alignment for taller partitions.
- Board fixing: Secure plasterboard with drywall screws, in single or multiple layers as required.
- Cutting: Trim studs cleanly to length using aviation snips or tin snips.
- Service installation: Install electrical or plumbing services within the cavity before boarding.
Compliance & Performance
- Material standard: Manufactured from cold-rolled galvanised steel to EN 14195.
- Fire and acoustic potential: Performance is determined by partition design and boarding specification.
- Dimensional reliability: Roll-formed process ensures consistent width and straightness.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc coating tested for use in dry internal environments.
- Important note: Wear gloves and eye protection when cutting to avoid injury from sharp edges.
