Abstract:
A stud support member, the stud support member comprises:a substantially vertically elongated web member having a first long end, a second long end opposite the first long end, a first short end and a second short end opposite the first short end, a first face and a second face opposite the first face, the web member formed from a first material;a first form having a first longitudinal flange spaced apart from the first long end of the web member, the first flange having a first long end and a second long end opposite the first long end, a first short end and a second short end opposite the first short end, the first long end of the first flange being connected to the web member by a first U-shaped pocket for wrapping about a portion of both faces of the first long end of the web member;a second form having a second longitudinal flange spaced apart from the second long end of the web member, the second flange having a first long end and a second long end opposite the first long end, a first short end and a second short end opposite the first short end, the first long end of the second flange being connected to the web member by a second U-shaped pocket for wrapping about a portion of both faces of the second long end of the web member, the first form and the second form being formed from a second material, so that first material and the second material are dissimilar from one another, thereby increasing the thermal resistance, axial load capability, and reducing interior condensation and ghosting.
