Choosing metal studs and ceiling sections

Stud width and height

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

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.

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.

Delivery to Kettering: what helps

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

• With roughly 7h 40m of daylight in Kettering around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Estimating your metal studs and ceiling sections

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.

Common questions from Kettering

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

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

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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Kettering?

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.
