STUDCO TOP HATS
Studco Top Hats are a versatile and reliable framing solution commonly used to support façade linings across both commercial and residential projects.
Suitable for a wide range of cladding materials and able to be installed horizontally or vertically, they also offer a practical option for selected internal applications where heavier loads or higher design pressures are required.
Studco Top Hats can also be used in internal applications where higher loads or greater design pressures are required. Typically screw-fixed directly to the structure through the outer legs, they provide a stable fixing face for a wide range of lining materials, with fixing methods determined by the lining manufacturer.
The Studco Top Hat range includes both Square Leg and Angled Leg profiles to suit different project requirements, along with Square Leg Top Hat Brackets to help achieve a straight, consistent finish across external façade applications.
