Just seen the steel frame partition on the screwfix site -
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...22034&ts=71784 and it
got me thinking.

I'm fed up of standard wood stud walls, as they are so material and
time intensive, however the steel wall idea looks interesting, and I
know that they do it a lot more on the continent.

Has anybody got any views on this here?

Does anybody know who else might supply a steel wall system other than
screwfix?

Our house built in 2000 has all the partition walls built with this steel
studding. Easy to locate using a detector, to screw shelves and other
fixings in to, using hollow wall anchors. Also have holes in so easy (well
easier than wood) to run cables along if moving/adding sockets/switches.

When I opened up the space under the stairs, for an extra cupboard, just cut
through using an angle grinder.
