A common problem with building a dividing
wall on any room with a wooden floor is that there are no foundations. It could be a first floor or a mezzanine floor,
the simple answer is a steel stud wall clad in plasterboard. Apart from being very light it is easy to
put up. We are going to put sound insulation in it. That’s important so you don’t get noise
carrying through the wall. So we will see with these tools just how quick
it is to put one of these DIY projects up. Ready? This steel stud wall system uses a base track
and uprights or mullions, so our first job is to measure and place the base track using
tek screws. The material cuts easily with aviation snips,
then we screw it into position. Well the first job is to lay the track then
you put the upright studs in, and then the plasterboard goes on. It’s all fairly quick. These are the studs, they are quite different
to the channel, they have got holes all the way down to run cabling through or pipes. They are also serrated on the side here so
that when your bugle head screw hits them through the plasterboard it’s not going to
skip off. Now we just gotta measure them up and cut
them to length and slot them into the channel. Ok, so 550mm. We then mark the positions of the uprights
and crimp them top and bottom. The plasterboard and wall adhesive will provide
additional strength. All the studs are fixed in place so all we
have to do now is apply some adhesive and we are going to apply the sheets horizontally. Using walnut sized dops of adhesive, as per
the manufactures instructions we mount the plasterboard. Use small offcuts or blocks as spacers at
the base to allow for expansion. Ok on the spacers? Yep. Once the plasterboard is in position, we fix
using bugle head screws. You ready? Yep Clear? Yep Now a quick score down here with a knife and
snap it off and we are ready to apply the sheets on this side. That’s the beauty of this material it’s really
easy to use. There you go Dene, gloves and mask. Well when this apartment is finished it won’t
be as noisy as it is today, but you will still need sound insulation in the walls. When you use fibreglass use protection. You
ready Dene? Absolutely. The fibre insulation is fairly dense and will
help with noise reduction. The material is now bio soluble and much more user friendly
than the old type of fibreglass insulation. We pack the insulation in between the lower
2 sheets, then we fix the upper sheet and fill with insulation. That’s great Dene, good job. Yeah, all we gotta do now is tape over the
joints and flush them off. It’s a really good way of building a quick
dividing wall on a wooden floor, somewhere there is no foundations for brick. Well done. Yeah works really well, strong, quite.
where do you buy the steel stud wall from
What about securing the track to the ceiling?
was fine–can u tell me how to make transparent wall with plastic. sounds weird but we can use it on roof-top–to see the sky
Thanks for sharing. At 1:33, what is the tool used to fix the stud to the track?
Instead of shoving the insulation down between the two sheets, you could have just installed all the insulation before you put the back wall up. A bit easier.
the forgot a bunch of steps 30 seconds into the video lol
been doing this for 20 years (and NVQ 3 qualified) in the UK and I've never heard of using adhesives before. also it's not a good idea to use a drywall gun to fix the top/bottom track. I'm only w couple of mins into this bus and I've already come across these mistakes, I don't think I can carry on watching.
Hi..just wanna ask..whats that youre using to connect the metal studs your
Where can i buy that stud crimper
I'm confused on what they're talking about no foundation? You can fasten a wooden stud wall to a concrete floor or a wooden floor so this confuses me
these guys don't have a clue don't listen to the bs
Wow… thanks for this video y'all, this is a way better technique than I've been using
Expansion for what if your not using wood
Metal is a stable material and even drywall
I wouldnt recomend this video to anyone
You won't get Expansion, in the uk on site were told studs have to be 400 apart, if you have been on site before you will know to ignore every word these people say
how did you attach the studs to the top and bottom plate?
why not just install all the insulation at once and wheres yout shotgun for the track
Whoops the first screw is stripped, hahahahahah
you lost me when you crimped and when you started the drywall on the bottom first instead of the top
Hello friends I'm Brazilian and I have a construction channel here I'm really enjoying the channel of voices
good video thank you guys
it's amazing, I learnt a lot from this video. Through this video, I installed a wall in my room.
Great just don't let the building inspector see it.
when you made that drywall cut you didn't give it no space for the otherdrywall to get attatched to measure it get your t bar and give it that cut right down the middle of stud god dammit fuck! haha just playing Austin powers

I've never seen a clear easy-to-use manual for building a shed as Ryan's shed plan [ Check Details Here⇒>http://bit.ly/ShedPlaning ] . Hardly would you ever get lost while building with Ryan's plan. It is the best product for woodworkers and shed builders.
Who tf puts adhesive on a stud ?
What are you gay ?!
Is this a joke?
Noobs. Wouldn't last a week doing downtown Chicago commercial work
Noooooooobs , would never make my crew
How do you do the top though
Why would one use this istead of wood studs? Also can I use hardiebacker on this steel framing?
That man look like hodor from game of trones
Wrong……….. The boards run vertically….the rails sit at 60CM intervals so that the edge of the board screws into the rails
With steel stud walls you run the sheets vertically staggering the joints at 600mm centres. In 30 years I have never seen a horizontal joint in steel stud construction.
PlasterBoard is GYpsum Board really?
Ah bully! What a bunch of shite! Waste of adhesive and not per industry standards! You don't crimp metal studs to track, you screw them. When you fasten the wallboard, you don't want to break the paper. DIY gone wrong.
Amusing. The big bloke had no respiratory protection, unless his whiskers were coated in lard.
You're supposed to have rubber under the frame as well bare minimum
Lol like the crimps are going to hold. Wood framing is much better
What are the tools and can you list the parts of furring? Planning to do it in a concrete wall, how should i stud it?
Is it just me or do these guys look like Laurel and Hardy lol..
yeah tanks
Lol that wall looks so insanely weak!
you may want to check out some other steel stud framing vids if any of you are building walls.
when you say plastic board, do you mean dry wall
You guys need to come learn how to work here in the USA 😂
Those dimples aren’t for ur screws. Thats eq stud so it’s probably 25ga but equally strong as 20ga. The dimples make it more rigid
Ahh! I have only been doing this for few weeks. I thought I would get some good tips from men who have been doing this for 20 years!
They put the shallow floor track on the ceiling and the deep head-track on the floor. The head-track is deeper to allow a small gap between stud and ceiling to allow a tiny amount of movement, and easy fixing. Specifications vary but most that I have seen do not fix the headtrack permanently to the stud.
The boards go vertically with the studs 60cm apart so the edges of the boards meet on them.
But American instructional videos show stacking the boards horizontally. Seems to be the way they do it an these Aussies seem to be copying them.
They also appear to fix the floor track first, obstructing getting the head-track up and providing a trip hazard with a sharp edge, whilst they do it.
Fixing the headtrack is not shown.
As for the adhesive I have no idea what purpose it serves, especially with a couple of tiny blobs that they use, which will attach to a paper surface.
But hey they have been doing it that way for 20 years….
Never seen anyone use adhesive, but seems like a nice idea for noise suppression. (IE: so if someone hits the wall you dont hear those nasty metal studs bouncing around like tin cans).
I clicked on this video cause I was interested in the crimping tool, usually we just use clamps to hold the studs together while we run a zip screw through them to lock them in place, but im tired of that and I was wondering how effective the crimping tool would be compared to zip screws.
Was actually thinking of just using the crimp tool to get the rough framing done then to use zips to fill in to make the jobs easier/faster.
I didn't know people still crimped. We remodeled a hotel that was built in the 50s and all studs were crimped except for doors and headers
This sucks
Ok So I never leave reviews & Im not leaving this one to be a jerk But as a Remodeling Business Owner for 13 years there where a few things that bothered me about this video,
1st the installation and Tool handling issues
– They over sank the drywall screws and poped the paper facing instead of indenting which causes trapped air which allows screws to rust, Oxidize and mis-color or cause a nail pop
– The way he dropped the drill down by the cord tells me either they don’t care for the business owners tools or even worse his own which typically tells me their work its treated the same way.
– Then having 1 man hold the tape to get a 7’ measurement and your butting to a wall, I get team work but again I’d fire someone who’d do that on my jobs, the same way the second guy had to twist and move the stud to put it on the mark, again wow.
– Theye didn’t explain the most important install tips, if you can lay a bottom track and clip a stud at 16 O.C you probably should call a professional. Not the important areas ar of course the top plate and double plated. The corners where the bottom and top track meets. How about the corner studs for support nd drywall. Or framing out for a door, These are the things a beginner needs to know, that videos like the 7 minutes I wasted writing this, Ill never get it back but I was compelled to say something. Happy New Year
Good showing for metal frame
Burazeri,nemate vi pojma
Just don't lean on the wall. Super flimsy…
As a beginner with woodwork, I usually feel overwhelmed with the whole plan. But Ryan's plans led me through with much clarity and simplicity [ Check Details Here=>deam.design/9trw ]. I now work like a pro. That's good!
I think my apartment have the same stud, 60cm apart from each other. Can I please ask if these metal studs are strong enough to hang 3 of 80cm H x 80cm W x 37cm D cabinet that weigh 25kg each, plus say 20kg of content inside each cabinet that we'd fill in later?
At the end of the vid i can see left wall is horizontal and right wall is vertical?
why is that?
You could still be pre building walls on the floor and tilting them up tho
God Dam i thought that was his son 😂
WHAT???
I’ll sneeze and blow that wall down.
Who else thinks they look like Bud Spencer and Terence Hill in the vintage Trinity series?
Thanks guys, nice demo, very clear on demo, video, and audio. Why not Mineral Wool which is more eco friendly and mold resistant?

You have never used steel studs have you?
Nice wall and helpful video for framing. I would suggest that impact noise or movement of the floorboards will transfer directly between the two room without much attenuation.
Thank you! I’m learning the ropes to construction
you both are so stupid , the metal studs are much more then you state.
If you want to punch clean holes in the studwork without risk of injury i.e. using angle grinder contact me for a tool which is on the market
I'd put in the insulation before installing any screws through the studs… otherwise you'll be cussing when the insulation snags on the screws.
Great
Where do you buy the frames?
What tipe of steel studs is that?
Only one layer of plasterboard??
Never seen stud crimper before
