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