The DBR eliminates stud bow in interior walls and allows for quicker drywall attachment by providing bracing along the length of the stud, and for head-of-wall slip conditions. This drywall spacer bracer reduces the installed cost of cold-formed steel stud walls by enabling faster stud layout with pre-punched slots that minimize the need for bridging clips with on-module studs. The DBR is the only drywall spacer bracer on the market that comes with bracing load data based on assembly testing, thus mitigating risk for designers and maximizing confidence in design specifications.
