Stud Partitions ~ these non-load bearing partitions consist of a
framework of vertical studs to which the facing material can be
attached. The void between the studs created by the two faces
can be infilled to meet specific design needs. The traditional
material for stud partitions is timber (see Timber Stud Partitions
on page 630) but a similar arrangement can be constructed using
metal studs faced on both sides with plasterboard.Metal Stud Partitions
