Isolation Project (during Covid19)

[mortarbo]

Want to build some stud walls whilst Isolation. Can lightweight stud walls be made from pre made and purchased 'sort of' tiles that could be joined etc?. Already plasterboard face etc...

Not that I know off.

How would that ever work? Please Google stud walls and you should be able to see how stud walls are actually made. Basically, whilst you can pre-assemble some (timber) stud frames on the floor yourself ( bearing in mind that every house is different), and raise them into position, it often isn't possible to do that with metal studs where, like timber studwork, you normally have to fix the sole plate to the floor, then the header to the ceiling, and finally cut the studs to length and fit them. In older buildings you'll often find that the ceiling isn't quite parallel to the floor, meaning that a pre-built approach would never be a go-er

The only pre-made walls I'm aware of are Paramore partitions where pre-manufactured wall panels are slid into tracks at floor and ceiling level, but these aren't really a DIY product. Google "partition wall systems" if you are still keen

My isolation project to do with wood is hinged around photoshop where you can do the seeming impossible, spotting near extinct species.

Greater spotted loo-role.

They are really rare round here, too. Thank goodness we have a renewable resource alternative at the bottom of our garden - that patch of dock I didn't get round to clearing last summer might yet come in handy!
