Jumbo stud is usually 70mm wide upwards. 50mm is just called metal stud.

metsec ?

 

[jeanclaudevangyproc]

Is Metsec the one that sort of replaces floating? Can get it smaller around 20mm?

I think jumbo stud is about 150mm but the gauge of the stud is thicker than standard stuff, but saying that I might be wrong lol

Metsec is heavy duty stuff ideal for infilling panels between steel frame structures. Need a big circular saw to cut through it.

" jumbo studs" , funny that a building surveyor refers to the size of studs , according to Bg is anything above 50 mm, if remember right. Saying that, nowadays the most popular studs on site are anything up to 70 mm. For walls higher than 4-5 meters studs from 90mm onwards are used with flat plate and c/c 350-400 mm. Metsec is used on external walls only, where you have to fix cement boards, cladding etc.

You should ask him for jumbo screws , just before you start to see his face

Jumbo stud so it can built higher rather than say a 50mm which can't.
