Your questions answered

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

Yes, when built as the tested system with the specified boards, insulation and fixings.

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.

Do you deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to trades and homeowners in Greenock?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Greenock?
