How thick are stud walls?
Timber stud walls are usually just over 5 inches in thickness. This includes the combined thickness of your studs (either 70 or 100mm), two plasterboard sheets (each 12.5mm in thickness) and the skim plaster finishes.
Are stud walls strong?
Strength: Winner = Timber Studs
Wood is heavier and thicker, so it can carry more weight, making it ideal for load-bearing walls. This factor is especially true in comparison to the lightweight steel stud framing. Then again, you can use some metal studs in load-bearing walls, but you have to buy the correct type.
Does a stud wall need plastering?
No the walls do not have to be plastered. Bare plasterboard will actually take more weight in tiles than plastered board. Much would depend on your layout for a definitive answer though.
Obviously, if the walls are only half tiled etc then plastering would be required for a nice finish at the tops of the walls.
