What we do
We supply and install a wide range of metal stud partition systems to a high standard. We have extensive experience delivering partitioning solutions for schools, hospitals, commercial premises and residential projects. All our operatives hold the relevant CSCS cards, while over 70% have received training in-house. This combination of industry certification and internal training allows us to maintain consistent standards of quality, reliability and workmanship across every project.
Metal stud partitioning has been used throughout the construction industry for many years and typically comprises 50mm or 70mm studs with either one or two layers of plasterboard on each side. The central cavity can be filled with fibreglass or mineral fibre to provide additional soundproofing.
Other stud sizes are also available, including studs up to 150mm, commonly known as Jumbo Stud. These are often used for factory firewalls and can accommodate partition walls over 10,000mm high, with fire ratings of up to two hours.
Jumbo Stud firewalls are frequently used to divide warehouse and factory premises where fire compartmentation is required. The additional width of the stud-work provides increased stability for taller partition walls, while two layers of plasterboard on each face create a laminating effect that further enhances stability. Effective partition design can transform even the most basic workspace into a dynamic, functional and vibrant working environment.
Partitioning goes far beyond simply creating dividing walls. The considered positioning of partitions and careful selection of materials can help make the most of available light and space. Our experience, market knowledge and understanding of each client’s requirements allow us to recommend the most suitable partitioning system for each project. Additional considerations, including fire protection, health and safety regulations and acoustic performance, are also taken into account as part of the overall design.
What we do
From offices, schools and colleges to shopping centres, conference venues, sports centres, hospitals, restaurants, airports, concert halls, museums and clinics, buildings require ceiling systems that meet a wide range of functional and design requirements.
Although often overlooked, the ceiling has a significant impact on the overall appearance and atmosphere of a space. A well-designed ceiling can help open up a room, creating a greater sense of space while contributing to its acoustic, practical and aesthetic performance.
We offer suspended ceiling systems for a wide range of building types and design requirements.
