When we set out to develop this revolutionary drywall framing system, we wanted it to be the best and the most innovative. So, we called in the pros – the guys that work with the product day in and day out. ProSTUD Drywall Framing was developed, tested and approved in the field. The result? Drywall framing performance designed by the pros for the pro.

What’s more, ProSTUD Drywall Framing is backed by comprehensive laboratory testing for strength, fire and sound. No other drywall framing system has been as thoroughly tested as ProSTUD. So not only is it a dream to work with, but it also has the performance to meet the requirements of today’s building codes. ProSTUD is available nationwide.

  • Diamond embossed web creates stiffness, reducing flange fade and screw spinout during drywall installation
  • Strong, lightweight stud and track cuts and handles easier than conventional flat steel studs
  • Flange grooves provide sight line for drywall alignment and aid in positioning screws at drywall joint to maintain the 3/8" edge requirement
