Timber wall frames are typically either 90mm or 70mm deep with 35mm or 45mm thick studs depending on load and spacing — usually 450–600mm. Noggins (spacers) are inserted between studs to provide lateral support. Additional noggin rows are often required for taller walls. Top and bottom plates are typically 90x45mm and can be double thickness depending on the load (e.g. first floor, tiled roof, long truss spans) or the spacing of the supporting floor members.
Steel wall frames are also typically 70mm or 90mm deep, and additional strength is achieved by using thicker gauge steel or additional folds or bends in the cross-section. Stud spacings and noggins are similar to timber.
