Getting metal studs and ceiling sections onto your Thurso site

Sections come in bundles in long lengths; tell us about access for 3 m plus lengths. Thurso is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around KW14 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Picking the right product

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.

Stud width and height

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

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