Can I get a take off from you?
We recommend working with your local lumber yard for your takeoff, as we are not currently staffed to handle large volumes. Be sure to provide them with our technical documents to ensure accuracy.
If your lumber yard is unable to assist or you don’t have one, feel free to reach out. We're happy to help you find a solution. -
How much do Thermal Studs cost?
The cheapest thermal bridge solution on the market is the WarmStud. We cannot list specific pricing publicly due to respect for our licensees and distributors. We’d be happy to provide you with a quote to help you make your decision.

Can I Trim a BareNaked Tstud™, R19 Tstud™ or MiniTstud in the field?
Yes. Wherever you need. The rule in the construction manual is that there needs to be a dowel within 4” of the end of the Tstud™ frame. No matter where you cut it, there will be a dowel in this location. Be sure to review the technical documents for each product.

Are any Thermal Studs Fire Rated?
Individual studs, whether traditional lumber or Thermal Studs, are not assigned a fire rating on their own. Wood is considered a combustible material by code, so instead of rating the stud itself, the fire-resistance rating comes from the tested wall assembly (for example, a 1-hour or 2-hour wall as listed in UL or GA details).
That means the drywall, insulation, and stud system together are tested and certified as a complete wall assembly. The studs within that wall assembly do not carry an independent fire rating.
Thermal Studs perform in line with traditional wood in this respect. Fire ratings apply at the assembly level, not the stud level. If your project requires a specific fire-rated wall, the Thermal Stud can be used in those tested assemblies just as a conventional wood stud would be.
Looking ahead, we are also exploring coating options for fire-resistant stud systems to provide even more flexibility for high-performance builders.
