Metal Stud & Ceiling Systems: choosing well

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.

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.

How much will you need?

A 6 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 11 studs and 12 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Planning the drop in Hindley

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• In summer Hindley gets around 17h 03m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Your questions answered

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Hindley?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

What is an MF ceiling?

A suspended plasterboard ceiling built from steel channels hung from the structure above, used to create a flat ceiling below an uneven soffit or to hide services.

Can you deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to a site with restricted access in Hindley?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

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