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

Quantities: a worked example

A 4.2 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 8 studs and 8.4 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.
