I Studs
I Studs are high-performance steel framing sections designed for use within taller partition walls, high-performance acoustic systems, shaftwall constructions and Steel Framing System (SFS) applications. Their unique profile provides increased strength and rigidity compared to conventional C Studs, making them particularly suitable for partitions where greater heights, improved acoustic performance or enhanced structural stability are required.
The distinctive "I" shaped profile helps reduce the direct transmission of sound through the partition framework, making I Studs a popular choice for acoustic wall systems within residential developments, hotels, healthcare facilities, education buildings and commercial projects.
Available in a range of sizes including 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 92mm and 146mm profiles, I Studs can be incorporated into both standard and specialist partition systems to achieve demanding fire and acoustic performance requirements.

Benefits
I Studs provide greater structural performance than standard C Studs while also helping to improve acoustic separation when used within tested wall constructions. Their profile allows them to be utilised in systems designed to achieve high acoustic ratings and enhanced fire resistance, making them a popular choice for projects requiring superior partition performance.
C Stud vs I Stud
While traditional C Studs are widely used for standard partition walls, I Studs are often specified where:
Greater partition heights are required
Improved acoustic performance is desired
Twin frame constructions are being used
Additional rigidity is needed
Specialist tested systems call for I Stud framing
Why Choose I Studs?
Where performance matters, I Studs offer an excellent solution for creating robust, high-performing partition systems capable of meeting demanding acoustic and fire performance criteria within modern construction projects.
