Stud Wall Calculator

Calculate the materials needed for your stud wall partition. Enter your wall dimensions and the quantities and drawing update as you type.

How to use this calculator

Measure the total length and height of the wall you want to build in metres.

Select 400mm centres (recommended for most walls) or 600mm centres for lighter loads.

Choose CLS timber size - 100x50mm (4x2) for standard walls or 75x50mm (3x2) for thinner partitions.

Select whether to include head plate, sole plate, and noggins (horizontal bracing).

Select plasterboard type (standard, fire resistant, moisture resistant, or acoustic) and whether to board both sides.

Quantities for timber, plasterboard and screws update as you type, alongside a scale drawing of the wall showing every stud, noggin and board.

Add the full materials list to your basket to compare prices from UK suppliers and request local quotes.
