Product Overview
GL1 galvanised steel liner stud for use within Gypliner wall lining systems.
Serving as the primary vertical framework member, this stud provides the structural support to which plasterboard sheets are fixed. By securing directly into GL8 track and GL2 brackets, it ensures stability, accurate alignment, and dimensional consistency across the wall surface.
Its use creates a straight and true substrate, making irregular or uneven masonry walls suitable for professional finishing. This prepares the surface for plasterboard installation, enabling smooth decorative finishes and supporting additional performance upgrades where required.
Manufactured from precision-rolled galvanised steel, the stud combines strength with corrosion resistance, ensuring reliability and long-term performance in both residential and commercial settings. Dimensional stability prevents twisting or bowing during service, maintaining a consistent framework.
At 3000mm length, it is suited to standard wall heights, reducing the need for intermediate joints and enabling uninterrupted vertical support. This simplifies installation, improves framework integrity, and enhances the quality of the finished lining system.
As part of the Gypliner drylining system, GL1 studs are used with GL2 brackets, GL8 track, and associated channels to form robust, non-loadbearing frameworks ready for boarding and finishing.
Features & Benefits
- Defined system role: Provides the vertical support framework within wall lining systems, forming the base structure for plasterboard linings.
- Accurate wall preparation: Creates a straight, stable, and dimensionally consistent substrate for smooth wall finishes.
- Galvanised steel construction: Strong, rigid, and corrosion-resistant for long-term performance in varied environments.
- Dimensional stability: Maintains alignment without twisting or bowing, ensuring reliable framework integrity.
- System integration: Used in combination with GL2 brackets, GL8 track, and associated channels as part of the complete Gypliner system.
Applications
- Gypliner wall linings: Primary vertical framework element for non-loadbearing drylining systems.
- Plasterboard fixing: Provides a secure substrate for attaching plasterboard sheets in residential, commercial, or refurbishment projects.
- Performance frameworks: Forms part of systems designed to enhance acoustic, thermal, and fire performance.
- Refurbishment projects: Ideal for correcting irregular or poor-quality wall surfaces to prepare for decorative finishes.
Installation Guidance
- Preparation: Fix GL8 track to floor and ceiling as base and head channels before inserting GL1 studs.
- Stud positioning: Insert studs into the track and align with GL2 brackets fixed to the substrate at specified centres.
- Alignment checks: Ensure studs are plumb and framework is square to achieve a straight and even wall surface.
- Stud spacing: Position studs at standard centres (typically 600mm, or as specified) to align with plasterboard sheet sizes.
- Service integration: Allow for cabling, insulation, or pipework within the cavity prior to boarding where required.
- Handling care: Avoid distortion or over-cutting of studs to preserve dimensional accuracy and system performance.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Precision-rolled galvanised steel for strength, rigidity, and corrosion resistance.
- System compatibility: Designed specifically for use with GL2 brackets, GL8 track, and other Gypliner components.
- Structural performance: Provides stable vertical support for non-loadbearing drylining frameworks.
- Important note: Intended for use only within non-loadbearing drylining systems.
