Metal Partitioning & Ceiling 25 x 25
Metal partitioning allows easy division of interior spaces and supports ceiling structures using lightweight steel framing. The components are dimensionally stable, which makes metal stud systems suitable for use in residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
What is metal stud partition?
A metal stud partition is a practical solution for building internal walls and suspended ceilings using lightweight steel. The system is made using metal studs and tracks that fit together to form a sturdy frame.
This frame is covered with plasterboard on both sides to create wall surfaces ready for finishing.
Ceiling channels, furring sections, and hangers are used to create a stable grid that supports plasterboard and acoustic panels in ceilings.
The galvanised steel resists warping and rust, ensuring walls remain solid and easy to maintain over the years.
What is metal partition used for?
Metal stud partitions are used to:
- Form suspended ceilings and bulkheads
- Divide internal spaces into separate rooms or zones
- Line perimeter walls before plasterboarding
- Build acoustic or fire-rated partitions
- Hide wiring, pipework, and insulation
- Create clean and uniform wall finishes
They are commonly installed in:
- Office and commercial fit-outs
- Residential conversions
- Refurbishments
- Educational and healthcare centres
- Retail, entertainment, and hospitality spaces
Types of metal partitions
Insulation Wholesale offers different types of stud partition systems:
Standard steel stud partitions
These systems feature steel studs and U-tracks that form a straightforward frame for installing plasterboard. They are used for everyday wall construction in homes, offices, and other interior spaces.
Acoustic metal partitions
Acoustic steel partitioning utilises sound-insulating materials that minimise sound transfer between spaces. They are suited for classrooms, offices, and residential blocks.
Fire-rated metal stud partitions
Fire-rated metal stud systems ensure reliable fire protection within compliant wall assemblies. They are built from tested, fire-resistant materials that meet UK safety standards. Ideal for areas that require additional safety, such as hallways, escape routes, and service zones.
Heavy-duty steel partitions
These are built using heavy-gauge steel and multi-layer plasterboard. They are an excellent choice for industrial settings, impact-prone areas, and high-traffic zones.
Benefits of metal stud partition
Metal stud systems are preferred over timber for several reasons:
- The lightweight build makes them easy to work with on-site.
- The galvanised steel frame stays dimensionally stable in varying temperatures and humidity levels.
- Pre-cut components fit together perfectly, with studs, tracks, and ceiling channels lining up neatly.
- Galvanised coating makes them resistant to corrosion.
- Can be used with all plasterboard grades, ceiling panels, and insulation layers.
- They are easy to customise for door openings, service routes, and ceiling access points.
- They are made from recyclable steel components, which help maintain a low carbon footprint and support sustainable construction.
