Metallständerwände

Metallständerwände, also known as metal stud walls, are a common construction method for interior partitions. They consist of a framework of metal studs, typically made from galvanized steel, that are assembled to form the desired wall structure. These studs are usually C-shaped and are available in various widths and gauges to suit different load-bearing requirements and fire resistance ratings.

The metal studs are secured to floor and ceiling tracks, also made of metal, creating a rigid frame. The spacing of the studs is standardized, often at 16 or 24 inches on center, depending on building codes and the intended application. Once the frame is erected, it is typically covered on both sides with gypsum board, commonly referred to as drywall or plasterboard. Various types of gypsum board exist, including standard, moisture-resistant, and fire-resistant panels, allowing for customization based on the wall's location and function.

Insulation, such as mineral wool or fiberglass batts, can be placed between the studs to provide thermal and acoustic insulation. Electrical conduits and plumbing can also be easily integrated within the metal stud framework. Metallständerwände offer several advantages, including being lightweight, non-combustible, resistant to rot and pests, and easy to modify or dismantle. They are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings for creating rooms, corridors, and shafts.
