maude Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Dont know the answer- but the lightweight metal framing for studwork is cheaper and does not support unwanted wildlife! Also quicker to erect. Maude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northender Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I think they call it "Bois de charpente séché au four" , kiln dried softwood timber.You can get it in the sizes used for stud partioning ie 75mm / 50mm or 100mm / 50mm . Obviously more expensive than the non-kiln dried timber but less likely to warp and twist.I've used the cheaper timber , (rough sawn) in partion walling in my renovation with no problems.I know the French use the metal channel system or blocks for internal walls and very rarely use wood studding , probably for the reason mentioned by the previous poster.

Pierre ZFP Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 A few years ago but I have seen some in Leroy Merlin but my goodness was it expensive. Can't remember exactly but I do know I was taken aback by the price as I had bought some in Wickes the week before and could compare directly (think it was about 3 times the price!) Next time I came over I bought a boot full with me - fitted in a Mondeo estate no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
