Welcome to the Metal Studs category at Build4Less, where we provide a wide range of metal studs and accessories for various construction, renovation, and DIY projects. Our selection caters to both residential and commercial applications, ensuring that every structural and aesthetic need is met with high-quality, durable products. Whether you're building a partition, framing a wall, or working on a ceiling installation, metal studs offer a reliable and versatile solution.

What Are Metal Studs?

Metal studs are lightweight steel framing components used as a modern alternative to traditional timber studs. Typically made from galvanised steel, they are designed for internal partitioning, wall linings, and ceiling frameworks. Their consistent shape and resistance to moisture, fire, and pests make them a reliable and long-lasting choice for construction and refurbishment projects, both domestic and commercial.

Types of Metal Stud and Accessories

At Build4Less, we stock a comprehensive selection of metal studs, tracks, and accessories that suit different building requirements.

1. Metal Studs

We offer metal studs in various sizes to cater to different construction needs. Some of our most popular sizes include:

• 70mm Metal Stud
• 90mm Metal Stud
• 146mm Metal Stud
• 50mm C Studs

These metal studs are suitable for framing walls, partitions, and ceilings. The lightweight nature of metal studs makes them easier to handle and transport, while their durability ensures a strong and long-lasting structure. Whether you're constructing load-bearing or non-load-bearing walls, metal studs provide an excellent alternative to timber. They are sold in packs of 10, making them ideal for both small and large-scale projects.

2. Metal Tracks

The foundation of any good metal framing system starts with metal tracks. These metal tracks serve as the base and top support for the metal stud, allowing for easy installation and secure positioning. At Build4Less, we offer both deep and standard metal tracks, available in a variety of sizes to match your stud requirements. Sold in packs of 10, metal tracks provide a solid framework for your walls and ceilings, ensuring that everything remains in place securely.

3. Angle Sections

For areas that require precise right-angled connections, we provide angle sections in various sizes, including the popular 25mm x 25mm x 0.7mm dimensions. These angle sections are ideal for reinforcing corners in framing and construction, offering both strength and stability. Whether you're working on a professional project or a home DIY task, these angle sections are easy to install and reliable in performance.

4. Metal Stud Fixing Brackets

One of the most essential components of any metal stud installation is the metal stud fixing brackets. These brackets are designed to securely attach metal studs to walls, floors, and ceilings, ensuring that your structure is stable and safe. Our GL2 Metal Stud Fixing Brackets, sold in boxes of 100, are perfect for large projects where multiple studs need to be fastened. They are versatile and can be used in both residential and commercial structures.

5. Resilient Bars

For projects that require enhanced sound insulation, our resilient bars are an excellent solution. Measuring 3 meters in length and sold in packs of 10, these bars are specifically designed to reduce sound transmission between rooms by creating a decoupled structure. Resilient bars are commonly used in conjunction with metal studs to improve the acoustic performance of walls and ceilings, making them perfect for offices, studios, or residential properties where noise reduction is important.

Selecting the Right Metal Stud Framing for Your Project

Choosing the appropriate metal studs for your project depends on several factors, including the type of structure you're building, the environment, and the required load-bearing capacity.

• For Structural Framing: For strong and durable frameworks, use metal studs and metal tracks. These form the backbone of your construction, ensuring that walls and ceilings remain stable over time.
• For Sound Insulation: In areas where sound insulation is crucial, such as offices or recording studios, consider using resilient bars along with your metal studs. These bars help reduce sound transmission and create a quieter, more comfortable environment.
• For Corners and Right-Angled Connections: To reinforce corners and ensure precise right-angled connections, use angle sections. These are ideal for framing and construction projects where strength and stability are essential.
• For Secure Attachment: When attaching metal studs to walls, floors, or ceilings, make sure to use metal stud fixing brackets. These brackets provide a firm hold, ensuring that your structure is secure and safe.

Benefits of Using Metal Studs

• Precision & Consistency: Manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring straight, uniform results every time.
• Moisture & Fire Resistant: Unlike timber, metal studs won’t warp, rot, or contribute to fire spread.
• Lightweight & Strong: Easy to transport and install, yet strong enough for most internal structural needs.
• Sustainable: Made from recyclable steel, making them an eco-conscious construction choice.
• Cost-Effective in the Long Term: Reduced maintenance and long lifespan make them a smart investment.

Applications of Metal Studs

• Internal Wall Partitions: Ideal for creating stud walls and room and stud partition dividers in homes, offices, and commercial spaces.
• Ceiling Framing: Metal stud framing is used in suspended ceiling grids and bulkhead constructions.
• Drywall Support: Provide a stable framework for plasterboard and drywall systems.
