Before you order 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.

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.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Before your Musselburgh delivery arrives

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

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• On busy streets in Musselburgh, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Musselburgh gets around 17h 36m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Quantities: a worked example

A 7.2 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 13 studs and 14.4 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Yes. Put everything on one list, from metal studs and ceiling sections to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Can metal stud walls be fire rated?

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

Self-drilling drywall screws for fixing boards to metal, and wafer-head screws for joining sections.
