The ViperStud® Drywall Framing System offers all the benefits of conventional flat steel studs with a design that performs even better. The ViperStud drywall framing system is interchangeable with conventional framing components. Since ViperStud is flat steel, it is easy to plumb and mark, make minor adjustments and use laser levels. This makes installation the same as conventional studs. No extra training or special fasteners are required for installation
The stud and track system utilizes a knurled flange and reinforcing ribs along with a flat stud design. Knurling is the pattern of small ridges formed on the flange to prevent screws from walking. Since knurling is only formed on one side of the steel, the stud stays flat, never compromising the strength or thickness of the steel.
