GypWall metal studs

[markc]

@Nick Laslett I wouldn’t have any problem putting a timber pack under the sole plate (possible implications if it’s a fire wall).

and nothing wrong with slitting and folding the flanges locally for ducts etc.

@nod, @Dreadnaught any help would be appreciated. 

 

I will happily defer to @nod and others for the answers. I haven't started my metal framing quite yet, hopefully after Easter.

My two questions are earlier in the thread.

 

1. My Wall height is 2750mm. Can I use a piece of 2”x3” under the u-track to raise it by 50mm and use 2700mm C studs?

 

2. I need to run 90mm MVHR ducting between rooms, can I make cuts in the deep u-track on the ceiling and bend over the metal to make these runs easier?
