The challenge with traditional studs

Inner wall studs are typically made from wood or steel. Solid wood studs, often 2x4", are heavy and prone to warping with changes in humidity and temperature. Steel studs, while dimensionally stable, are challenging to package efficiently. And difficult to cut to size on-site.

The hybrid solution

ESSVE Hybrid Stud combines the best features of both materials. It pairs wooden flanges with a metal web, creating a unique H-profile. Delivered flat, in pre-cut lengths, the stud is folded into shape during installation. Saving space and simplifying transport. This patented design uses 50% less wood than standard wood studs and 89% less metal than steel studs. 

What about the result? A stud with the dimensional stability of steel, the flexibility and workability of wood and an installation process that's faster and more efficient. When used with the ESSVE Hybrid Stud Stapler, walls can be constructed twice as fast as those built with steel studs.
