Getting the right metal studs and ceiling sections

Follow the system

Stud width and height

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

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.
