Abstract
A structural component () for supporting construction panels is disclosed comprising an I-shaped strip having two parallel strips (P. P) and at least one strip (S) perpendicular to (P) and (P). One or both the parallel strips (P. P) contain a plurality of substantially flat portions () and void portions () which alternate in a first direction X along the structural component (). The flat portions () are configured to support the construction panel in plane contact while the void portions () are configured to support the construction panels in line contact. The void portions () reduce the thermal transmission of the structural component () by providing reduced thermal bridges in the transmission path of heat and reducing the contact surface area with adjoining adjacent materials. The structural component () described is a drywall stud or a spacer separating two parallelly bonded construction panels.
