Metal Stud & Track

The Metal Stud & Track System is an innovative and efficient solution for constructing lightweight, non-load-bearing partitions, suspended ceilings, and framing systems. Made from durable galvanised steel, this system provides a robust framework for plasterboard installations, offering enhanced fire resistance, acoustic performance, and structural integrity. Ideal for both domestic and commercial construction projects, it allows for flexibility in design, ease of installation, and cost-effective construction.

What Are Metal Stud C Studs?

Metal Stud C Studs are vertical framing components designed for constructing partition walls and other framing systems. These studs feature a "C" shaped profile, made from 0.5mm galvanised steel, ensuring durability, fire resistance, and lightweight handling.

• Sizes Available: Common sizes include 50mm, 70mm, and 92mm widths to accommodate various construction requirements.
• Applications: Suitable for use in metal stud walls for domestic and commercial projects.
• Advantages:
• Lightweight yet strong for ease of transportation and installation.
• Fire resistant, making it ideal for high-safety requirements.
• Compatible with acoustic insulation for enhanced soundproofing.

What Are Metal Track U Channels?

Metal Track U Channels are horizontal framing components designed to hold Metal C Studs in place at the top and bottom of partition walls. These tracks provide a secure base for the vertical studs and are available in standard, deep, and extra-deep profiles to suit a wide range of projects.

• Features:
• Pre-drilled holes for feeding wires and services through the partition.
• Made from galvanised steel for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Applications: Used as the foundation for partition walls, suspended ceilings, and other framing projects.

How Do the Metal Stud & Tracks Work?

The Metal Stud & Track System works by creating a durable and adaptable framework for partition walls or ceilings. Here’s how it functions:

1. Assembly of Framework:
• U Tracks are installed horizontally along the floor and ceiling to create a foundation.
• C Studs are slotted vertically into the tracks to form the structure of the wall.
2. Integration with Plasterboard:
• Plasterboard sheets are fixed to the studs using screws, creating a smooth, flat surface.
3. Service Accommodation:
• Pre-drilled holes in the U Tracks allow for easy integration of wiring and services within the partition.
4. Acoustic and Fire Insulation:
• The system supports the addition of insulation materials between the studs, enhancing soundproofing and fire resistance.

Where Can the Metal Stud & Tracks Be Used?

The Metal Stud & Track System is versatile and can be used across various applications:

1. Residential:
• Partition walls in homes to create extra rooms or functional spaces.
2. Commercial:
• Offices, retail stores, and public spaces requiring flexible partitions and durable framing solutions.
3. Educational Institutions:
• Classrooms, lecture halls, and library partitions for soundproofing and fire safety.
4. Healthcare Facilities:
• Hospitals and clinics for hygienic, fire-resistant partitioning.
5. Industrial Spaces:
• Factories or warehouses requiring durable and easily modifiable partitions.

What Are the Benefits of Using Metal Stud & Tracks?

1. Lightweight and Strong:
• Provides a sturdy framework while remaining easy to handle and install.
2. Fire Resistance:
• Made from galvanised steel, the system meets fire safety standards, ensuring enhanced protection.
3. Cost-Effective:
• Metal studs and tracks are cheaper to produce and install compared to traditional timber framing.
4. Easy Installation:
• No need for sawing; components can be easily cut with tin snips and assembled quickly.
5. Design Flexibility:
• Available in various sizes and profiles, suitable for diverse architectural needs.
6. Acoustic Performance:
• When combined with insulation, the system significantly reduces sound transmission.
7. Corrosion Resistance:
• Galvanised steel construction ensures longevity and resistance to environmental factors.
8. Environmentally Friendly:
• Recyclable materials reduce environmental impact compared to traditional construction materials.

The Metal Stud & Track System offers a practical, durable, and versatile solution for modern construction needs. Its ease of use and adaptability make it an essential component in residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
