146mm Metal C Stud 4.2mtr - sold in packs of 10

146mm Metal stud partitioning is the perfect choice for commercial and domestic projects where a wider width partition wall is required. As part of the Metal Stud and Track system, the 146mm studs are used as a vertical support and when set at 400mm centres, can be installed up to a height of 8.5 metres.

146mm 'Jumbo Studs' as they are often known have big advantages over traditional wooden studs in the fact that they are lighter, stronger, and more resistant to moisture and fire. Installation is also easier and they can be recycled if the walls are ever taken down.

146mm metal C studs have several key features, including:

• Lightweight and easy to install: C studs are relatively lightweight and easy to install, making them a popular choice for both professional contractors and DIYers.

• Strong and longlasting: C studs are made of galvanized steel, which is a very strong and durable material. When the wall is formed, it provides a robust solid structure to fix to that is not susceptible to rot or termite infestation.

• Fire resistant: As the steel on metal jumbo studs is galvanized, this offers protection against moisture and fire. This makes them a good choice for use in wet or humid areas.

If you are looking for a strong, lightweight, and cost effective material for your next construction project, then 4200 x 146mm jumbo studs are a good option to consider. This would be especially true with larger developments such as flats where party walls need to be formed. The additional width allows for thicker acoustic insulation to be placed in the cavity to therefore further reduce sound transfer.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using 146 x 4200mm Metal C studs:

• The C studs should be supported by U tracks at the top and bottom of the wall.

• The C studs should be spaced evenly apart.

• The C studs should be screwed to the U tracks securely.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your 146mm metal C stud walls are constructed safely which will provide a good solid wall to fix plasterboards of other sheet materials to.

If you are considering using 146mm metal jumbo studs for your next project, be sure to consult with a qualified professional to ensure that you are using the right size and type of stud for your application and that the partition is constructed using the the correct centres.
