The static sectors of the electroweak Standard Model and QCD at finite temperatures are described by 3d SU(N) Higgs models with scalars in the fundamental and adjoint representation, respectively. I summarize the non-perturbative physics of these theories like mass spectrum, string tension, screening of the static potential and non-perturbative corrections to the Debye mass, as obtained from recent lattice simulations. It is observed that in the 3d theory corresponding to the purely magnetic sector there is a larger hierarchy between different quantities than between the electric (∼ gT) and magnetic (∼ g2T) sectors of finite T gauge theories, which are not generally well separated.
