What is the difference between stud and noggin?

Answer 1

Basically the studs are the verticle bits of wood that take the load from the roof to the ground while a noggin is a horisontal bit of wood between the studs that prevent the studs from buckling and also add strength and support to the plasterboard

Answer 2

Studs are vertical framing members in a wall that support the structure, while noggins are horizontal pieces placed between the studs to provide additional support or bracing. Noggins are typically used to strengthen wall framing or to provide a fixing point for finishes or fixtures.
