A quick quantity check

Things to check before you order

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 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.

  • On busy streets in Heywood, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
