What is metal stud wall framing?
Metal stud framing forms a building’s skeleton, providing the framework to the internal layout and structures. Its purpose is to space the interior of the building properly. In a reconstruction or refurbishment project, the steel frame walls are one of the first things to go in.
Most importantly, the metal stud wall of a building forms the layout, indicating where partitions will sit. These define the different spaces within a structure, including where windows or doors will be placed.
What are cheaper metal studs or wood studs?
A steel stud frame is cheaper than a wooden frame. It is always surprising to customers that a metal stud wall ends up more economical! You can also reduce building cost by using recycled metal studs. These kinds of material are trendy nowadays in the construction industry.
The wood used to be a cheap product to use for studs. Some softer woods are a little less expensive than hardwoods, but the cost comparison between them and steel studs is very much significant.
What is a partition metal framing wall?
A partition wall is one that separates a more substantial space into two or smaller areas, such as rooms within a home. A partition wall with a metal frame is simply a standard wall that uses metal studs to support the structure of the wall. After the wall structure is created, it is joined together with plasterboard or drywall.
Using metal framing, you can create more rooms or office space (much cheaper than moving to another building).
Can you anchor to metal studs?
Yes, you can anchor heavy objects such as TVs or shelves to metal studs. Many people use toggle bolts to anchor into the steel studs. However, it is essential to know what the existing materials of the wall are. How thick is the plasterboard? What gauge are the studs and where are they spaced? This will enable someone to anchor to the wall much more effectively. For instance, the more massive the object, the more studs it should be anchored to so that the weight distributes evenly. Determining the weight of what needs anchoring and working out the size of the bolts that are needed is crucial.
