How to Install Metal Stud Framing / Drywall 

Thank you. This is the ONLY video where crimping was done. the other videos, every one I saw, screwed the studs, which as we know, kicks-out the sheet rock where the screws are. Nice work.

Very informative! I really wanted to work in this field but suddenly stopped at 19. Hopefully i will go back to what i wanted to do.

it's amazing, I learnt a lot from this video. Through this video, I installed a wall in my room.

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?

Loved your TV show..very informative.. Thankyou.. Perth WA.

Now I can tell them I have experience in metal studs wall framing. 🙂

Hello friends I'm Brazilian and I have a construction channel here I'm really enjoying the channel of voices

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.

Thank you! I’m learning the ropes to construction

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.

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.

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.

That's funny, in france I've been used to screwing drywall vertically instead of horizontally, I wonder if this is better, it may reduce joints

Never sink the bugle head screw head that far though the paper face...just snug them so they are flush. That will make for a much more secure and longer lasting panel.

Wow... thanks for this video y'all, this is a way better technique than I've been using

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

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

Hi..just wanna ask..whats that youre using to connect the metal studs your

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.

Great video

What about securing the track to the ceiling?

Thanks guys, demonstration so easy even a cave man could do it.👍

How did you screw the track into the ceiling? Would have been nice to see how you dealt with that.

great way to create faraday cage to destroy your wifi coverage, not sure about shelves either... but yeh it's very very cheap... so ideal for a new build house in the UK!!!

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

Good showing for metal frame

Expansion for what if your not using wood Metal is a stable material and even drywall

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

wonderful idea...thanks

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?

Justin k You have never used steel studs have you?

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

Thank you so much ❤

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?

What type of crimping tool is that, brand? Thank you.

and what about the jumpers between the joints of the sheets?

Is that 20lb electric chorded drill required?

Not sure about tucking a live drill under your arm though

Great week

Thanks for sharing. At 1:33, what is the tool used to fix the stud to the track?

Very good Good luck

At the end of the vid i can see left wall is horizontal and right wall is vertical? why is that?

And make sure the holes line up.

Never seen anyone install drywall from the bottom up

Why would one use this istead of wood studs? Also can I use hardiebacker on this steel framing?

good video thank you guys

why not just install all the insulation at once and wheres yout shotgun for the track

Do I have to use regular drywall screws???

whts the size if the hirizontal and vertical frame

Can I do this for the studio extension or this is only good for room partition?

I have 10year expirce . I want wrk with u sir I know Jipsm bord and GRG wrk

HW much quantity in one day 3 labor?

yeah tanks

How do you do the top though

Nice from indonesia

The screws always slip and wont screw properly, they need to make it thicker and nothing beats timber, this metal gauge is rubbish

You guys need to come learn how to work here in the USA 😂

What adhesive is being use

Wrong........... The boards run vertically....the rails sit at 60CM intervals so that the edge of the board screws into the rails

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.

What tipe of steel studs is that?

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....

how did you attach the studs to the top and bottom plate?

Great just don't let the building inspector see it.

What sort of.cri.per do.i.buy?

when you say plastic board, do you mean dry wall

Where do you buy the frames?

Great

You could still be pre building walls on the floor and tilting them up tho

Never seen stud crimper before

Only one layer of plasterboard??

Is it just me or do these guys look like Laurel and Hardy lol..

Where can i buy that stud crimper

That man look like hodor from game of trones

Lil guy sounds like Paul McDermott

Colocar durlo por la pare

Whoops the first screw is stripped, hahahahahah

Amusing. The big bloke had no respiratory protection, unless his whiskers were coated in lard.

Lol that wall looks so insanely weak!

PlasterBoard is GYpsum Board really?

you may want to check out some other steel stud framing vids if any of you are building walls.

It's good to see Woodglut have new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

I'm pretty sure you can still buy plans with all the details you need on Stodoys.

You're supposed to have rubber under the frame as well bare minimum

umm, "bugle head screws"

So who do u call? Carpenters,drywallers?

Good luck hanging a tv wall mount on aluminum studs

you lost me when you crimped and when you started the drywall on the bottom first instead of the top

I recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.

Woodglut is nice for that.

I'm sure you will find amazing woodworking plans on Stodoys.

the forgot a bunch of steps 30 seconds into the video lol

God Dam i thought that was his son 😂

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

Miclo

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

Lol like the crimps are going to hold. Wood framing is much better

He's look sleepy

اكو عرب باالطياره😃

Just don't lean on the wall. Super flimsy...
