Building interior wall with high sloped ceiling

[Abrahamsson]

Hi!!
I am going to build a wall to divide a room in half. The room is approximately 5.2x2.1m with a sloping ceiling. So the wall I will build will be 2.1m wide and 2.2m high on one side but as high as 3.9m on the other side so standard 3m steel studs are too short.

I would like some tips on how you would build it...
I am considering buying steel tracks for the floor/ceiling and placing 70mm wooden studs in between with single drywall on it. It should be enough as long as I hit the studs when screwing, or is that too stingy?

I should mention that I might hang shelving systems on wall rails on one side of the wall and a large mirror or maybe a coat rack or something else heavy on the other side. It's a lightweight concrete house and there is tile with electric heating on the floor.

I think you should put OSB before the plaster, it's such a small additional cost.

Steel rails with wooden studs work excellently, and as mentioned, attach OSB first, it will significantly stiffen the construction and make it easy for you to mount shelves etc.

You can advantageously use steel studs. Steel studs can be spliced, known as boxing, which simply means joining together two pieces. A common recommendation is that the overlap should be about 20% of the height. In your case, around 80 cm at most. I would start with 3m studs and buy a few extra to cut and splice with. Since the longest stud is also screwed to the adjoining wall, there's absolutely no problem building at that height.
