Stud Partition

If you want to alter the space within an internal room, then you’re probably looking for a flexible and easy to install solution. Stud partitions are a great way to achieve this. With both domestic and commercial applications, you’ll soon have your home or office making the most of the space available.

Stud partitions are made from a wood or metal frame, along with an internal stud for increased support. Both sides are covered in plasterboard to give a workable surface. For metal stud partitions, you’ll need to fit a track, which is the outside frame. These come in a variety of thicknesses, making them a versatile solution to any space.

Domestically, stud partitions are often used to divide up large bedrooms into smaller ones or to create space for an ensuite. For commercial use, they’re commonly used for dividing office space to make it more efficient for staff.

Installing your stud partitioning will require some extra materials. Things you might need include:

• Plasterboard: This is a widely used sheet building material ideal for non-load bearing walls and partitions. The surface is smooth and easy to work with, making this ideal for stud partitioning.
  •  Insulated Plasterboard: This gives a workable finish like plasterboard, but also improves thermal insulation. There are many types available, with both basic and more substantial insulation properties.
  •  Access Panels: These are perfect for providing access to stop cocks, pipes, electrical cables and any other services. We stock budget friendly plastic access panels as well as ones with higher specifications.
  •  Metal Stud: This creates a framework which you can attach plasterboard to. This method of installation is a much cheaper alternative to timber. It’s also far quicker to install. If you do choose to use timber within your stud partition, we have a range of woods that are treated to reduce decay and warping.
  •  Metal Beads: These will help to reduce time taken to form sharp corner joints. They provide protection to fragile plasterboard edges, and are available in a variety of specifications.
  •  Rockwool Insulation: This will be an essential part of your stud partition. It will improve both the comfort and the energy efficiency of your rooms. Depending on your needs, we stock a variety of different sizes, thicknesses and weights.
  •  Plasterboard Fixings: These are likely to be important. From drywall screws to masonry and plastic fixings, securing your partition will be essential for a structurally sound build.

Whether you’re looking to maximise the efficiency of your office or else personalise the space within your home, stud partitions are a great way to achieve this.
