The document discusses stud walls, which are framed walls constructed from vertical wooden or steel studs. It describes the basic components of a stud wall including vertical studs, top and bottom plates, and blocking. Stud walls are used to divide interior spaces, provide insulation and soundproofing, and allow for interior finishes to be applied. The document outlines the materials, typical dimensions, and step-by-step construction process for installing stud walls. It also discusses detailing considerations and the use of double layered drywall for additional sound insulation and impact resistance.

3. WHAT IS
A STUD?
Vertical framing
member that forms a
part of the wall or a
partition
Element of the
framing structure
Usually made up of
timber
Steel studs -
becoming
increasingly popular
nowdays

4. Vertical members: Studs
The cavity between the
studs: Bay - insulation is filled
Horizontal piece at the
bottom of the wall: Bottom
plate
The studs are nailed to this
plate, which is nailed to the
floor.
Headplate: Fixed to the
ceiling
Sole plate: Fixed to the floor

5. Blocking: Is added between
the studs
Why: Acts as a fire-stop
Without fire-stops, a fire could
quickly spread from floor to
floor.
Nogging: a horizontal piece of
wood fixed to a framework to
strengthen it.

6. Basic Stud
wall
Vertical studs
sandwiched between
top & sole plates
Covered and filled with
plasterboard

7. Why we need
stud walls?
Dividing the room
Organized spaces
Multiple usages of the space
Holds in place windows & doors
Insulation - Sound Proofing
Interior finish

8. Opening: Rough opening - size
decided by the manufacturer
King stud: One stud of each pair
of studs in a rough opening runs
from plate to plate
Jack or Trimmer stud : Decides
the height of the opening
Header: Resting on the top of
the jack stud
Cripple studs: Strengthen &
supports the framing structure
Acts as a guide to openings of
doors & windows

9. Durable - care should be
taken while installing
them - dry - shrinking &
expanding
Easy to cut - Flexible -
more options for
creativity
Heavier in weight
Not prone to moisture
Can easily rot
Wood Studs
Durable than wood: Not affected
by fire, termites, rot, splitting.
Perfectly straight - Difficult to cut
Steel studs are lighter to carry and
store than wood because they are
hollow - Lightweight
Works well in bathrooms, & other
water prone areas - not affected
by the moisture
Easily rusted
Steel Studs

10. MATERIALS FOR
CONSTRUCTION
Wooden studs are usually made
of spruce, Douglas fir/ sawn
timber.
Types of wood used in Indian
context:
Standard sizes- 914*450 mm /
914*610 mm
Height- 2450 / 3048 mm
Width- 914 to 1220 mm could be
610 mm as well depending on the
area
Materials used for studs:
Pine, Chill, Meranti,Teak

11. Metals studs are made up of
steel.
It is lightweight and durable.
Sheet materials, such as
plywood and drywall or
plasterboard, are fastened to
the stud frame after
construction.
When sealed offers good
sound and fire resistance to
partition.

12. DIMENSIONS

13. DIMENSIONS

14. Gyproc® - Core Board
19mm board, Kg/m2 = 16.0
WIDTH - 598 LENGTH - 3000
Gyproc® - Fibre Cement Board
BOARDS
Standard Thickness of board is 12mm

15. INSTALLATION STEPS
1.Secure the sole plate 3. Use a hammer to fix the corner
verticals
4. Check the level of verticals
2. Hold the ceiling plate to support
the verticals
5. Fix the verticals in between and
ensure proper level
6. Screw the studs at 45 degrees

16. 7. Secure the ceiling plates
8. Add horizontal noggins between the studs according
to board measurements
9. Secure noggings with screws 10. Screw boards on noggings

21. DETAILING

22. Double layer Drywall - Isometric, Plan and Elevation
https://www.gyproc.in/pdf/Drywall-Handbook.pdf

23. Why we need Double
Layer Dry wall ?
Sound Insulation;
through the air
cavity created
between two sides
plasterboards
Impact Resistance
Sound Absorption

24. DETAILING
