Metal Stud & Ceiling Systems delivered to Craigavon

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 Craigavon, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

Metal Stud & Ceiling Systems: choosing well

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.

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 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.

Delivery to Craigavon: what helps

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
  • With roughly 7h 17m of daylight in Craigavon around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
