Metal stud framing

Metal stud framing is a lightweight, durable alternative to traditional timber framing. Made from galvanised steel, it’s fire-resistant, won’t warp, and is quick to install. Used in partition walls, ceilings, and commercial builds, metal stud frame construction is common in offices, schools, and residential projects. Unlike timber, metal studs stay straight, making them ideal for precise installations. The system includes metal c studs, metal tracks, and i studs, which slot together for a strong framework. Ceiling channel components are used in MF ceilings to create smooth, even surfaces for plasterboard.

Stud and track systems are widely used in modern construction for their efficiency and strength. Metal u channels and beams provide extra support in larger structures. Whether you’re building a metal stud wall for a commercial fit-out or need MF ceiling components for a suspended ceiling, this system ensures speed and accuracy on-site.

Buildbuddy lists MF components from a range of brands, including Speed Pro and British Gypsum’s Gypframe system. Compare prices on metal stud framing online now, and find the best deals for your next job.
