Plastic studs are also better than steel studs. Plastic resists the transfer of thermal energy, eliminating the cold spots. It is an insulator versus a conductor. The Plastic studs have the same dimensions as wooden or steel studs but have a wall thickness of .090 inches. So, more insulation can be placed between them. The studs speed up wall installation and they can be cut with saws or snips. No top and bottom plates are needed, there is a predrilled nailing flange, and each stud has 2 inches holes 18 inches from the top and bottom for plumbing and wiring.

Because they weigh about half as much as wood, they are much easier to handle. The space between the studs can be filled with all types of insulation. Many construction companies are using plastic materials. The components used include everything from plastic screws and hinges to bigger plastic parts that are used in decoration, electric wiring, flooring, wall coverings, waterproofing and so on. Manufacturers can test the quality of plastic studs using Plastic Studs Testing Instruments.
