Steel Framing

X-1 Wall Frames
Straight and true
Double ribbed 75mm zinc/alum high tensile
steel stud, plate and noggin provides superior
strength and rigidity.
Walls and ceilings are straight and true with no
twists and curves making linings, oor coverings
and carpentry simpler and quicker to install.
Recessed connections
Recessed locating indents and xing holes
create a ush and uniform wall nish, ideal for
the installation of both internal and external
wall linings.
The unique textured stud prole provides a
strong keying surface for lining adhesives.
