Estimating your metal studs and ceiling sections
A 5.4 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 10 studs and 10.8 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.
Delivering metal studs and ceiling sections in Bristol
Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Bristol.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
Before you order metal studs and ceiling sections
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 England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.
