Andehh Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 We have been spec'ed metal stud plasterboard internal walls. Architect suggests they should be fine & are more substantial then the metal stud & plasterboard walls we used to have in a 2005 Bovis 'new build', but these were so cheap & flimsy it wouldn't be hard to better...cardboard would have!! I am trying to find a more substantial internal wall, without going mad. Obviously block walls would be the best, but it needs to be cost effective! Double up CLS studs & double up plasterboard? Single plasterboard but 15mm instead of 12.5mm etc? Combination of it all? Can anyone comment on what they went with & successes/failures?

James Newport Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Our stud walls are 4x2 CLS with 12.5mm plasterboard and they feel nice and solid. The uprights are roughly 400m apart. According to the chippy and the delivery driver, people try and go with 3x2 and put them 600mm apart (so it's easy to get 600mm wide rockwool in between) and that's why these doggone modern walls are so flimsy.
