Studding wall - New Prefabricated System?

Does anyone know of details of a new system to make quick internal walls?

I saw something on the TV a few months ago, I know its probably quite expensive but I thought I would check it out before I bought the 4 by 2!!

Thanks

Isn't there something like this in the Screwfix catalogue. Maybe it's only a metal framework tho' ?

Ive seen metal frame used in office partioning. Very fast.

But u need to have the right saws drills and screws,.

Stud work (wood) is really fast for DIY.

========================= Apart from being fast, wooden studwork also has a much more solid feel which is what most people want in a domestic situation especially if you're building a wall or partition. It's also easier to insulate for sound and heat.

have been involved in many building projects where this solution i used. The web site includes everything you need to know, fro regulations, to products, tools required & instructions on how t install.

The documents are downloadable as well.

Is a brilliant system, which can be built up to provide required fir rating, sound proofing, strength/ rigidity, as well as being quick an easy to install.

even I can install it. That says something, as i am anengineer

This is all true, BUT in a DIY situation where labour is essentially free, it generally works out very expensive.

With these metal framed systems, with typical 50mm sections and say

30mm for plasterboard, how are door frames accomodated - which are typically 100-115mm wide?

different widths of floor and ceiling track so I suppose that's true for any system.

The only system I've seen personally was being used to restore an open plan layout to a two room layout and it worked OK as far as wall thickness was concerned but it didn't feel very solid. I've also seen a few on TV from time to time and they seem to be quite satisfactory as far as appearance goes.

I think most people would find a quick trip to the local timber yard for a few lengths of 3"x2" and bag of nails much easier than finding a specialist supplier for a metal system - and much cheaper.

I looked at the British Gypsum site earlier, for paramount partition (the eggbox double sided panels) and for the laminated partition system (50mmish thick) comprising 2 faces of 12.5 mm board dry lined onto a central core of

19mm gyproc plank. I found neither. Are they no longer used, they were very useful when space was a premium.

I once worked out the thinnest acceptable quick internal wall could be made from 3/4" ply sheet as the structural element, lined with 9mm PB each side. Total thickness 37mm

Adding shelves is a cheat's way of improving noise reduction.
