Metal c stud on wall lining

Hi can some one answer can i use c studs on wall lining and how to fix brackets in that case? Or I need wall lining channels with tracks ?

Thanks

What your talking about is gyp-liner or equivalent which is fixed to brackets fixed to the wall. The have a top and bottom channel for the plasterboard sheet ends and a plate system for skirting fixing...pinenot

Gypliner I'm talking.i bought by mistake c studs with tracks and gl2 brackets. i found out that for wall lining in gypliner is gl1 lining channels and gl8 track with gl2 brackets .? How can I go about that issues. Vertical span is 2.10m can I suport c stud in any other way apart from brackets or 2.10span don't need suport ?

Thanks

The units you've bought should work assuming their all matched to each other i.e. the channel pushes over the c channel (CL?) ends the brackets, when folded into the U shape straddle the sides of the c channel (CL?) But if any of the fore mentioned are not right let us know and we should be able to help.
By the way can you exchange the goods where you bought them?...pinenot

Ah, I see now whats happened, This is actually Gypwall not Gypliner you've got hold of, no matter we can make this work if there's no way of exchanging it.
The system relies on both top and bottom channels being fixed, plum to each other, to soffit and floor respectively, the c channel, or studs, along with noggin channel, are self supporting.
So if you want to carry on with this? can you tell me which channel, stud you have (Gyproc nos. actual sizes and thicknesses etc. and photos if poss) and advise whether you can order the noggin channels...pinenot

50 mm studs 52 channel 70 mm stud 72 channel and STANDARD TRACK 25MM LEG I bought two sizes as my one wall is single Thermalite block

Right, the 70mm configuration will fully self support at the height 2.1m
that is to say that it does not need the support of the blockwork wall.
You need to fix the channels top and bottom, ensuring they are parallel and plum regardless of the wall and you'll require to buy some noggin channel which goes in at the height of 1200mm normally. A Gyproc crimping tool will put it all together, otherwise you'll have to use wafer head screws and a cordless, or similar.
Here's a couple of links to the Gyproc site book and the sections which will help you, any questions just ask...pinenot
