How we do it
Partition studs go at 400 or 600 mm centres depending on what will be hung on the wall later — if a TV or a wall unit is coming, we put in an extra stud or a timber pattress straight away. For sound insulation we use mineral wool, not air: an empty partition carries sound like a drum.
Good to know
With a suspended ceiling, decide on the lights first. Every downlight added later means opening and refilling the ceiling — better to settle it now.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hang cabinets on a stud wall later?
Yes, if you say so beforehand. We put a timber or steel pattress in that spot and the wall will then carry a heavy unit.
Do you paint it too?
Yes, and then we give one quote covering the painting as well — cheaper than two separate visits.
