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.

A quick quantity check

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.
