agbp55 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 please advise best method for indentifying metal wall studs in new build flat where the plasterboard has metal backing? Many thanks
Russdl Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Use a strong magnet (search Amazon) it will find all the screws attaching the plasterboard to the studwork and, if strong enough, the metal stud work itself. 1

Conor Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Magnet is great method. Put a bit of card between the magnet and the wall so you don't mark it. Use it all the time in our ICF house as there is no other way to find the plastic webs
Russdl Posted February 23 Posted February 23 @Conor good point, I wrap the magnet in a dried out wet wipe to prevent marking the wall.
