British Gypsum Gypframe 70 I 70 'I' Studs ( 3.6m Pack Of 10 )

British Gypsum Gypframe 70 I 70 'I' Studs ( 3.6m Pack Of 10 )

These studs are the strongest available in the Gypframe range. They allow for increased partition height, without increasing partition width, and provide improved impact resistance.

Commonly used in ShaftWall, GypLyner IWL, GypWall QUIET IWL and other GypWall systems where board fixing strength is paramount. Structural apertures are also spaced along the spine of the Gypframe ‘I’ Stud, providing easy routing of services through a partition. Conforms to EN 14195.

About

British Gypsum Gypframe profiles are cold roll formed from DX51D + Z140 NA-C, utilizing the patented UltraSTEEL™1 process.

Cold Rolling and UltraSTEEL™ UltraSTEEL™ is a manufacturing process that alters the characteristics of plain steel, providing higher strength capacity at a lighter gauge. The process effectively hardens the steel by working it in strips with two mating rolls, which produce a dimpled surface and ribbing effect across the surface of the metal. During the process, the effective thickness of the material is increased to that of the original thickness plus that of the ribbing.

Example: Base gauge = 0.5mm : after UltraSTEEL™ process = 1.0mm

Once the UltraSTEEL™ process has been applied, the base material is then passed through a series of contoured rollers which progressively form the steel into the required profile.

The number of rollers in the process will vary, depending on the complexity of the profile being rolled. Service entries or tabs are pierced, either at the beginning or end of this process. The formed profiles are then cut to exact length, packed and then bundled ready for delivery.

UltraSTEEL™ is unique to British Gypsum and the Gypframe profiles product range. Along with an aesthetic difference, UltraSTEEL™ provides the following additional benefits over plain steel sections:

— Improved yield strength

— Improved load carrying capacity

— Improved screw retention and strip out strength

— Improved resistance to screw pull-out

Standards

Gypframe metal studs products are produced to the European manufacturing standard EN 14195: 2005 and are manufactured under a quality system independently audited and certified as conforming to ISO 9001: 2008. The EN 14195: 2005 standard does not cover component design or system performance. 

Fixing

Either British Gypsum Wafer Head Drywall Screws or British Gypsum Wafer Head Jack-Point Screws should be used to fit two sections of metal together - see table below:

British Gypsum Wafer Head Drywall Screws / British Gypsum Wafer Head Jack-Point Screws

Metal-to-metal up to 0.79mm thick                / Metal-to-metal greater than 0.80mm thick

Stud framing up to 0.50mm thick                  /  Studs greater than 0.50mm thick

Either British Gypsum Drywall Screws or British Gypsum Jack-Point Screws should be used for fixing plasterboard to metal. Screw length should be based on board thickness and reaching a minimum of 10mm penetration into a metal stud.

FAQS

How do you build a fire-rated partition where access is limited to one side only?

Our ShaftWall system is designed for this application.

How do you extend the length of Gypframe metal stud?

This can be achieved by ‘splicing’ two studs together with an overlap of 600mm minimum, then fixing together using Wafer Head Drywall Screws (two to each flange).
