Stud width and height

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

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.

Metal Stud & Ceiling Systems questions

Do you deliver metal studs and ceiling sections to trades and homeowners in Widnes?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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 Widnes?

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.
