Galvanised Metal Profiles
GalvanisedMetal Profiles
Galvanised studs, tracks and channels for drywall and ceiling systems.
What it is
Galvanised steel, roll formed into the sections a drywall or ceiling system is built on. Track at the floor and head, studs between them, channels to carry a ceiling, angle to close an edge.
None of it is visible once the boards go on, which is exactly why the dimensions matter: the frame sets out the wall, and the board can only be as straight as what it is screwed to.
