3.9m high interior wall steel studs vs wood

[home]

Hello! I'm planning to build a partition wall in a storage room, the ceiling height is 3.9 meters and the width will be 4.5m with an interior door.

The ceiling has an 8-degree slope with corrugated insulated metal sheets. I haven't worked with steel studs before, anyone with experience?

I'm also thinking about building a loft, but the question is how to attach the joists if using steel studs? In the other two walls there are 45x95mm wooden studs so you can easily screw a support beam in there.

It's just a storage room, so the cost should be kept down,

Grateful for tips.

If you're going to build a loft, steel studs are out since they can't handle the load. You'll have to use wood studs instead.

Okay, how about the fr rule?

The reinforcement rule does not apply either. Steel studs are only meant for building non-load-bearing walls. Load-bearing walls require träreglar.

But if you're going to build a loft, you only need support from two opposite walls to attach the floor joists to? The partition wall doesn't need to bear anything, and you would attach the floor joists to the two walls that are at a 90-degree angle to your partition wall?
