Metal Stud & Ceiling Systems: choosing well

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 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.

Planning the drop in Derby

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Derby is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Quantities: a worked example

A 9 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 16 studs and 18 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.
