−	In addition to helping maintain the shape of a building element, studs hold in place the windows, doors, insulation, interior finish, utilities, and so on. In order to form interior and exterior corners, intersecting walls, headers, jambs and sills, studs can be bundled together in a variety of ways to best suit the application.	+

	Traditionally, studs were fastened to the plates by hammer and nail, and then by nail gun. Modern techniques such as screw fasteners, clips and ties can be used to enhance resistance to wind and seismic activity.

−	Care must be taken to ensure that ~~the (~~timber) studs are completely dry when installed, otherwise they may be prone to shrinking and twisting as they dry out. ~~Therefore~~, they should be stored carefully on site before usage.	+	Timber studs are easy to use, lightweight, adaptable, and can be clad and infilled with a variety of materials to give different finishes and properties. They should be of prepared or planed material to ensure that the wall is of constant thickness with parallel faces.

To ensure they do not become damp, they should be stored carefully on site before usage.
