Gypframe profiles are designed for use in Gyproc drylining systems
and are cold roll formed from DX51D + Z140 utilising the patented Recycled Content
UltraSteelTM process. Gypframe metal components are produced using steel
manufactured by major world producers who use minimum 30%
Protective Coating recycled ferrous scrap in producing the steel. Out of this 30%
All Gypframe metal components are available with standard Zinc ferrous scrap:
coating of Z140.* • 80% is post-consumer recycled content
*Also available in Z275 upon request. • 20% is pre-consumer recycled content

Gypframe AcouStuds
These unique shaped studs are used for increased
acoustic performance. The innovative patented
profile reduces sound energy as it passes through the
partition. Gypframe AcouStuds are available in both 70mm
and 92mm sizes and can upgrade the acoustic performance of
your partition without using insulation. The Gypframe AcouStud
design includes sight lines for both board alignment and added
profile strength. Gypframe AcouStuds also have wider flange widths
than Gypframe ‘C’ Studs, providing increased board fixing area.
