Plasterboard both sides = 100mm woody, its all they use on our site at the mo
F49h,
It is easy to use, but be very careful because when its grabbed wrong it is sharp as ****
A boy had to be rushed to hospital a couple of weeks before Christmas on my site, as it sliced straight through the tendons in his fingers
Oh yes, I notice that the Lafarge system is 75mm studs.
But in all of the merchants near me that stock this stuff, it is 50mm steel channels. It seems cheaper, easier and quicker than using timber, but this thing with door linings has put me off.
In the literature it always shows a partition without any doors, and it is just one layer of plasterboard each side - so must be about 75-80mm thick partition. Also, there are never any thinner door linings next to this stuff on the shelves - which implies that you have to spend time ripping a normal lining down

^woody^, you were right in thinking the overall wall thickness is 75mm. if you read the thread i posted, ref lafarge, it clearly states using 44mm metal studs plus plasterboard.
oddly though it also states the use of 15mm plasterboards?
