The MiniTstud is a unique type of building material that serves as a stud, but it's not as strong as traditional 2x4 or 2x6 studs unless you use specific materials like LSL or LVL. You can use any type of rigid insulation in the center of the MiniTstud. It's versatile and can be used as studs or for the top and bottom plates in construction. It's particularly useful for creating a thermal break on the outside of a home or building during a renovation. Additionally, it's great for insulating concrete block walls and installing Rockwool insulation with added structural support from furring strips.
