Main purpose and function of a stud wall
Stud walls are primarily designed and installed to carry loads - structural loads. They are an integral part of any timber framed building project but can also be used conveniently with steel frame construction. Timber Stud walls can also be installed
in a non-load bearing capacity, for example as part of an internal partition wall.
In this article we wanted to introduce you to one of the leading stud wall solutions available to construction professionals today – SpaceStud.
Delivered Ready to Install
SpaceStud can be manufactured and supplied ready for installation to your project by Ochil Timber. The system was introduced by our partners at ITW and is a tried and trusted solution that offers increased and variable wall widths. This means that high
U values are more easily achievable whilst using economical insulation.
Our customers love working with SpaceStud because of its flexibility. Not only is it easy to install, but it is also suitable for use in either open or closed wall panel construction. You can find out more about SpaceStud here.
As with all the products we produce, cost is kept to an absolute minimum for our customers. All timber used is sustainably sourced and we ensure that waste is kept to an absolute minimum. This is possible because of our advanced planning and manufacturing
processes which also means that overall stud depths of up to 258mm are possible.
SpaceStud is cost-effective for your customers too because its thermal bridging performance beats that achieved by traditional, solid timber studs.
