How do I make an interior wall in the easiest way?
I want to build exactly such a wall next to the refrigerator. I don't just want a thin cover panel.
Do people use wood studs today or is it just metal? I don't want wood to move and cause cracks, but on the other hand, it's easier to work with for an enthusiastic amateur.
Either way, how do you make the narrow front side? Narrow strip of gypsum board? (I don't want a wooden strip as the front)

You can choose to frame with wood or metal, and it's also excellent to combine and set metal tracks on the ceiling and floor and use wooden studs in between; it's often easier and cheaper to fasten metal tracks if the ceiling and floor are made of concrete.
But what about tools for working with metal studs? Is my metal snip sufficient? I remember there being a kind of clamp that locks the metal to another metal piece, but this is only necessary when the entire frame is metal. I have a concrete floor and a gypsum ceiling. How do you attach gypsum to metal? Regular drywall screws?F fribygg said:
It seems a bit unnecessary to buy tools for that little bit of wall, use what you have and borrow a plug machine for the floor if you don't have it.Dracula said:
