Question 1

1. What is Gypframe?

Accepted Answer

Gypframe is a system of galvanised steel framing profiles made by British Gypsum. It’s used to construct metal stud walls, ceilings, and lining systems that support plasterboard and drylining finishes.

Question 2

2. Do metal Gypframe stud walls have noggings?

Accepted Answer

Unlike timber stud walls, Gypframe metal stud systems don’t usually include traditional noggings. Instead, horizontal support or fixing points are provided using Gypframe channels or supplementary metal sections when needed for fixtures or board support.

Question 3

3. Can I use Gypframe profiles outdoors or exposed to weather?

Accepted Answer

The profiles are galvanised and manufactured via the UltraSTEEL® process for corrosion resistance, but they should be protected from prolonged exposure to water and standing damp.

Question 4

4. Do Gypframe channels allow for services (electrical, plumbing) to pass through?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many of the framing profiles include service cut-outs or apertures designed to allow electrical and plumbing services to run through the partition without weakening the frame.
