Dimensional lumber?

[Ulmian]

I'm thinking of framing a basement wall.

What can be used if 45x45 is too big?
Are there other options or will I need to use a band saw?

 

[MathiasS]

A shower curtain perhaps?

If you don't even have room for 45-reglar, there won't be much of a wall left.

The metal worker I bought studs from bent them into any desired dimension, very convenient since I was going to have metal/gypsum boxes on either side of the wood stove in the kitchen

Ahem... expressed myself a bit too vaguely...

I'm planning to put up framing on a wall.
It's some kind of concrete wall that was behind a plastered surface.
I'm thinking of putting up framing and screwing a chipboard to even out the surface with the other parts of the wall.

In what dimensions are steel studs available?
Do these work with chipboard?

The 45x45 stud is way too deep and you're supposed to put 13 chipboard on top...

It might be possible to make it work with a läkt (1x2"), but the 20 millimeters you save isn't that much, is it? The idea of framing a wall is to make it straight, and if you go down too much in dimension, it easily becomes something else. Additionally, you need to have enough to screw the panels into.
I think the absolute easiest is to use a 2x2", but it might be possible to get it done with a 1x2".
I probably wouldn't recommend metal studs!

I think it will be tricky to find a screw/nail that short as well. It should not be longer than 32-33 mm.

Wood studs, chipboard in a BASEMENT - I would not have chosen such a solution no matter how dry basement I had. Plaster it up directly instead.

 

[Peetz]

Otherwise, 34x34 is available in most lumberyards.

I agree with Funkishus_-36 No organic materials in a basement... If you don't want to plaster, then metal studs and drywall...
