Standard Galvanized Gypsum Stud 55mm x 10 Feet

55mm Gypsum Stud

The Standard Gypsum Stud 55mm provides the essential vertical framework for non-load-bearing interior partitions and ceiling systems. Manufactured from high-tensile galvanized steel, this 10-foot profile ensures structural rigidity for drywall installations. It serves as the primary vertical member in a metal stud frame, engineered to receive gypsum wallboards with high precision and pull-out resistance.

Built for the Job

Contractors utilize this 55mm vertical profile to create slimline yet robust wall partitions in commercial and residential settings. The C-shaped design allows for easy nesting into floor and ceiling tracks, facilitating rapid assembly of internal dividers. This metal component remains dimensionally stable, resisting the warping, twisting, or shrinking common with timber alternatives. It accommodates standard 12.5mm and 15mm gypsum boards, providing a flat surface for seamless joint finishing. Site supervisors value this material for its consistent gauge and straightness over long runs.

• Vertical framing for interior drywall partitions and office dividers.

• Constructing bulkheads and drop-ceiling support structures.

• Creating service cavities for electrical and plumbing runs.

Product Highlights

Corrosion Resistance

The hot-dipped zinc coating protects the steel substrate from oxidation in humid job-site conditions.

Enhanced Screw Grip

• Knurled surface prevents screw-point skidding during high-speed installation.
• Deep flanges provide a wider target area for board fastening.

Integrated Pass-Throughs

Pre-punched H-holes allow for the routing of 20mm conduits and wiring without additional drilling.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Cut this framing member to size using heavy-duty aviation snips or a chop saw with a metal-cutting blade.

• Space the vertical members at 600mm centers for standard drywall applications or 400mm for high-traffic areas.

• Ensure the open side of the C-profile faces the same direction to maintain alignment during board installation.

• Store horizontally on a flat surface in a dry area to prevent physical deformation before use.
