Estimating your metal studs and ceiling sections

A 3 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 6 studs and 6 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Planning the drop in Rutland

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Rutland.

  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Picking the right product

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.

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.
