How delivery works
We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.
Delivery areas
Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.
If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.
What to expect on delivery day
- Deliveries are typically kerbside.
- Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
- Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.
Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery
Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.
Returns
Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview
146mm Metal C Stud in a 3000mm length, manufactured from galvanised steel, providing strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term dimensional accuracy.
Precision roll-formed edges create a rigid framework that holds plasterboard securely in place and ensures walls are straight and true.
The 146mm stud offers an extra-wide cavity purpose-built for high-performance partition systems. Its depth provides ample space for enhanced acoustic insulation, complex fire-rated assemblies, and extensive service runs.
Designed for demanding commercial and institutional environments, it delivers the strength, stability, and system performance required for large-scale, technically challenging projects.
The 3000mm length reduces the need for horizontal joints in taller partitions, creating a cleaner, more stable structure with fewer weak points.
Features & Benefits
- Galvanised protection: Zinc coating shields against corrosion during storage, installation, and service life.
- Precision roll-formed edges: Consistent alignment and rigidity support accurate wall construction.
- Enhanced structural stability: Wider profile supports multiple plasterboard layers for acoustic and fire performance.
- 146mm cavity depth: Creates a substantial void for maximum insulation capacity and large-scale service integration.
- 3000mm length: Allows higher partitions to be built with fewer interruptions.
Applications
- High-spec acoustic partitions: Wide cavity accommodates thick insulation for maximum sound reduction.
- Fire-resistant walls: Provides depth and stability for multi-layer plasterboard systems achieving enhanced fire ratings.
- Commercial and institutional partitions: Suitable for demanding environments such as hospitals, schools, and offices.
- Heavy service walls: Large cavity supports extensive cabling, ducts, or pipework.
Installation Guidance
- Stud positioning: Fix vertically within floor and ceiling tracks at specified centres, ensuring stable alignment for taller partitions.
- Board fixing: Secure plasterboard with drywall screws, in single or multiple layers as required.
- Cutting: Trim studs cleanly to length using aviation snips or tin snips.
- Service installation: Install electrical or plumbing services within the cavity before boarding.
Compliance & Performance
- Material standard: Manufactured from cold-rolled galvanised steel to EN 14195.
- Fire and acoustic potential: Performance is determined by partition design and boarding specification.
- Dimensional reliability: Roll-formed process ensures consistent width and straightness.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc coating tested for use in dry internal environments.
- Important note: Wear gloves and eye protection when cutting to avoid injury from sharp edges.
