Metal stud systems are light galvanised steel sections (studs, tracks and channels) that form partitions and suspended plasterboard ceilings as an alternative to timber.

We deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to sites, driveways and yards across Antrim, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Working out quantities for your Antrim job

A 3 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 6 studs and 6 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Picking the right product

Follow the system

Metal stud partitions and ceilings are designed as tested systems with specific boards, sections and screws. Order to the system specification, especially where fire or acoustic ratings apply.

Stud width and height

Taller walls need deeper studs or closer centres; the system maker's height tables show the limits.

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

Common questions from Antrim

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

Yes, when built as the tested system with the specified boards, insulation and fixings.

Can I add other materials to my Antrim delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from metal studs and ceiling sections to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Antrim?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Are metal studs better than timber?

They are straight, light and dimensionally stable. Timber is often easier for domestic jobs and for fixing heavy items. Both work well when designed properly.
