Stud Wall / Partition Wall

A lightweight internal wall constructed from a framework of vertical timber (studs) and horizontal timber (plates and noggings), clad with plasterboard on both sides. Stud walls are easy and inexpensive to build and remove, making them flexible for internal layouts. Non-load-bearing stud walls can be positioned anywhere. Studs are typically 89 × 38 mm or 100 × 50 mm at 400 mm or 600 mm centres.
