Sizing your order

A 5.4 m metal stud partition at 600 mm centres needs 10 studs and 10.8 m of track, plus boards and self-drilling screws. Taller walls may need deeper studs or closer centres; follow the system maker's tables.

Things to check before you order

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.

Ordering metal studs and ceiling sections for Truro: FAQs

Are metal studs better than timber?

They are straight, light and dimensionally stable. Timber is often easier for domestic jobs and for fixing heavy items. Both work well when designed properly.

What sizes do metal studs come in?

Common widths are 50, 70, 92 and 146 mm, in lengths to suit wall heights.

Can you deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to a site with restricted access in Truro?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Can I add other materials to my Truro delivery?

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.
