I've typically limited my thoughts to timber stud partitions, but am warming to metal C studs. The timber option has felt like the 'better' option and metal done for speed in the commercial setting, but I expect that's outdated thinking.
Strength is a major driver and I've felt timber has that one.
A major win for Metal is no warping, twisting etc.
Timber feels like it's the better choice should you think you may want wall mounted shelves etc. How do you moun
