FAQ
- Does this include plates and noggins?
- No. It is the vertical studs only.
- Should the spacing be 450 or 600?
- 450 mm is the default. Use the spacing the sheet size and the load require.
- Are corners and openings extra?
- Yes. Junctions, doors, and windows need extra studs that this straight-wall count does not add.
