Getting the right metal studs and ceiling sections

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.

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 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 Newton Aycliffe: what helps

  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
