July 28, 2024

At State Building Products, we pride ourselves on delivering top-quality materials that elevate the standards of construction. Our ProSTUD® line exemplifies this commitment, combining high-strength steel with innovative design features to meet the demands of modern building projects. Whether you’re working on a small renovation or a major construction project, ProSTUD® offers the reliability and performance you need.

Construction Advantages

ProSTUD® stands out in the construction industry due to its unique design and material properties. Here’s what you can expect when you choose ProSTUD®:

Enhanced Strength and Height Capacity: The combination of high-strength steel, low-profile flange stiffening grooves, and double offset web planking significantly increases the strength of ProSTUD®. This robust construction allows for greater limiting heights, providing more flexibility in your building designs.

Improved Stiffness: The diamond embossed webbing gives ProSTUD® the stiffness to stand strong against various stresses. This feature not only enhances the structural integrity of your building but also reduces flange fade and screw spinout during drywall installation, ensuring a smooth and secure finish.

Ease of Handling: Despite its strength, ProSTUD® is lightweight, making it easier to cut and handle than conventional flat steel studs. This ease of use can speed up installation times and reduce labor costs, making your projects more efficient.

Precision in Drywall Installation: The flange grooves on ProSTUD® provide a clear sightline for drywall alignment. This aids in the accurate positioning of screws at drywall joints, maintaining the essential 3/8″ edge requirement and ensuring a professional finish every time.

Design Advantages

ProSTUD® is designed to meet the rigorous demands of contemporary building codes and standards:

  • Compliance with Building Codes: ProSTUD® meets the additional strength requirements outlined in IBC 2003, 2006, and 2009, as well as AISI NASPEC (S100) and ICC-ES AC86 (2010). This ensures that your projects are built to last and comply with all relevant regulations.
  • UL Classification: Our ProSTUD® is UL classified and listed in over 50 designs, including U419, V438, and chase wall assemblies. This classification underscores the product’s reliability and versatility in various construction scenarios.
  • Sound Performance: ProSTUD® excels in sound performance, featuring in over 50 tested sound assemblies. This makes it an excellent choice for projects where acoustic control is critical.
