Before you order metal studs and ceiling sections

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.

Stud width and height

Taller walls need deeper studs or closer centres; the system maker's height tables show the limits.

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

How delivery works in Glasgow

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • In summer Glasgow gets around 17h 35m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

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.
