Getting the right metal studs and ceiling sections

Stud width and height

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

Metal or timber?

Metal studs are straight, light and do not shrink or twist; timber is easier for fixing heavy items and is more familiar on domestic jobs.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
