Technical Guidance for Jumbo Stud Partition Systems

Jumbo Stud Partitions provide high-performance internal partition systems designed for use in large-scale industrial and commercial buildings. This page provides technical guidance for architects to support system selection, coordination and specification.

Detailed system datasheets and performance documents will be made available separately.

System Overview

Our partition systems are engineered to address the limitations of standard internal wall constructions, particularly where height, fire resistance or acoustic performance exceed typical thresholds.

System categories include:

  • Jumbo stud partition systems

  • Fire-rated partition systems

  • Composite panel fire-rated partitions

  • Acoustic and sound-reducing partition systems

Each system is designed to support industrial-scale construction, while allowing flexibility in layout and integration.

Design Considerations for Architects

When incorporating Jumbo Stud Partition Systems into a project, the following design factors should be considered:

  • Required wall height and span

  • Fire resistance period in accordance with the fire strategy

  • Acoustic performance requirements

  • Building use and risk profile

  • Structural interface conditions

  • Door, opening and service integration

Early coordination allows the most appropriate system to be selected and reduces the risk of redesign during later stages.

Fire Performance Capability

Partition systems can be configured to provide fire resistance periods ranging from 30 to 240 minutes, depending on system type and construction.

Fire resistance is dependent on:

  • Full system build-up

  • Correct detailing at interfaces

  • Installation in accordance with the project specification

Fire performance requirements should be defined by the appointed fire consultant and incorporated into the architectural design.

Acoustic Performance Capability

Acoustic partition systems are available to provide airborne sound insulation performance up to 72dB, subject to system selection and detailing.

Acoustic performance should be considered alongside:

  • Adjacent space usage

  • Door and opening requirements

  • Interface detailing

  • Site installation quality

System selection should be coordinated with the appointed acoustic consultant where applicable.

Wall Height & Structural Considerations

Jumbo Stud Partition Systems are designed to accommodate significant wall heights in large industrial buildings.

Indicative maximum heights include:

  • Jumbo stud systems – up to 15 metres

  • Composite panel systems – up to 30 metres

  • Acoustic systems – up to 26 metres

Final achievable height is dependent on system configuration, building conditions and interface detailing.

Wall Height & Structural Considerations Jumbo Stud Partition Systems are designed to accommodate significant wall heights in large industrial buildings.

Interfaces, Openings & Coordination

Architectural detailing should allow for:

  • Junctions with floors, soffits and structural elements

  • Door and opening integration

  • Service penetrations and interfaces

  • Fire stopping and acoustic sealing

Coordination with structural, M&E and fire disciplines is essential to maintain system performance.

Specification Support

We can provide support to architects during the specification process, including:

  • System guidance and suitability advice

  • Performance summaries for tender documents

  • Clarification of system capabilities

  • Project-specific technical input

Formal datasheets and detailed performance documentation will be provided separately.

RIBA Work Stages Support

Our systems can be supported across:

  • Stage 2–3: Concept design and system feasibility

  • Stage 4: Technical design and specification coordination

Early engagement helps ensure compliance with fire, acoustic and structural requirements.

Technical Enquiries

For architectural support, technical clarification or system guidance, please contact our technical team.

Datasheets, drawings and performance documentation will be available in due course.
