Working with Metal Stud
People traditionally consider wood studs when it comes to construction. It is probably because, in the latter years, most buildings are made from wood. However, buildings in today's technology are actually constructed mainly from steel and metal stud is a great alternative to wood studs.
There are different types of metal stud systems that are used to create a framework to which plasterboard can be fixed. This is much quicker method of installation, and thus a cheaper alternative to using timber battons.
Here are few basic steps to find out how you can work with metal stud:
First step is making use of metal cutters, called snips, to cut and bend a metal stud. Metal stud is then fabricated from 20 gauge lightweight steel and are easy to manipulate.
Second, cut the metal stud using a chop saw, with a fibrous metal blade.
You will have to slip the metal stud into the top and bottom plates, screwing it in a place using a cordless screw gun and self tapping sheet metal screws. After which, you could pull gas and electric lines through pre-drilled holes in certain locations on your metal stud.
From then on, you could attach a vapor barrier to the metal stud using double face carpet tape. Apply rigid foam or foil insulation between the outside wall and the metal stud to prevent cold transfer.
The advantages of working with metal stud include:
• Lightweight and easy to handle.
• Can be cut and screwed in easily.
• Does not shrink.
• Does not easily rot.
• Termite and wood borer resistant.
Metal stud lasts far longer than the standard construction framing materials.
