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.

Before your Cumbria delivery arrives

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Cumbria.

  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Choosing 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.

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Can I add other materials to my Cumbria 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.

How soon can metal studs and ceiling sections be delivered in Cumbria?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

What screws do metal studs need?

Self-drilling drywall screws for fixing boards to metal, and wafer-head screws for joining sections.
